I'm in the computer lab in KINSC working furiously to get out four pages about religion and dress in Amish and Eastern Dakota Indian communities by 1:00am. Which is in three hours. I think I can do it.
I woke up this morning with a sore throat, and drank massive amounts of water throughout the entire day. I was going pee just about every half hour.
I have a problem. I can't not write in passive voice. Sooooo hard. Effing "to be" verbs. Die. I hate you all.
Opening night is tomorrow. Eeeks!

I lost my one card. Freaking A. I'm so angry. That stupid little piece of plastic is my life. I can't do anything without it. I can't eat, I can't get into buildings, I can't eat, I can't eat, and I can't eat. fkjdsfkjdsfkljdslkjsd. I'm going to starve....
I WANT MY ONE CARD BACK. And it's no one's fault but mine. lkdfjdslak;fjdslkfj.

I'm sitting at Laura's desk in her dorm room in Columbia while she is away in Boston. But she'll be back tonight and things will be splendid. I'm in New York right now because I'm doing my final project for my religion class on the Metropolitan Community Church of NY. Should be very interesting.
I went shoppping with my sister yesterday and bought new pants because I got too fat for my old ones. That makes me happy (the new pants...not the fat). Now I can fit comfortably into my jeans. And to prolong this uninteresting topic even further I would like to add that I bought two jeans for a total of $17.00. Amazing.
Next week is going to be crazy. Full tech rehearsals from 6-11 Mon-Wed then we have performances Thurs-Sat. Ack. Which is why I'm furiously doing my homework for next week right now. I sure know how to have fun when I'm in New York, huh? I have to say, that I'm not overly enthusiastic about this play that I'm in. I definitely don't regret joining it because it's been a very unique experience. I've never acted in this type of play under this type of director. The play is a short 20-25 minute one act. It's about this world where the inhabitants live without art or culture. One day they're hit by this storm of culture and it changes their lives. There's conflict, someone dies, and there's a resolution. Since it's a theater festival all the plays are student directed, but this particular play was created by two students. And it's sooo weird because we don't actually have a tangible script. We know the plot idea, we get a scene set up for us, and we just go. If what we do works, then we keep it. If it doesn't, then we try something new. So the actors basically have free range to interpret it however the heck we want and do whatever we want the "script." I've never been in play where I haven't received a lot of direction, and it's really new for me. I'm not sure if I like it a whole lot, but it's definitely good in the way that it encourages me to think for myself, come up with my own creative ideas, and develop and explore my character. A lot of it is improv and since there's no set script the things I say one night will be different than the things I say some other night but it's generally about the same. The more we rehearse the more we get into a set routine of things. Now that I'm talking about, maybe it isn't so bad the way this play is directed. It really lets us, the actors, take our characters and the play in any direction we want. It's all very open. Well I just hope it doesn't turn out like shit.
Shoot. That was a long paragraph. I'm too lazy to go back and section it off. Anywho. I'm going to have some of Laura's milk and crispix now. Then I'm going to get ready to go to the church and shoot some film and take some pictures.

Spring break was fun.
Built the floor of a house, put up the four outside walls, and put up all the walls for the rooms inside the house.
I feel accomplished.
Bonded a lot with the people on the trip.
Ate A LOT of good southern cooking. So unhealthy, but oh so good.
I ate so much that for the next few weeks all I want to eat is salad and fruit.
Everyone was so nice and hospitable. They took care of us really well. And they all had southern accents, which was cool.
We got asked to massage a horse's balls. I'll blog more on the alcoholic southern woman from Love Valley in a later entry.
OH yeah, I'm going to China for a month after school gets out. How exciting! One of the professors from my school is going to China, and the CPGC (Center for Peace and Global Citizenship) is sponsoring three Haverford students and one Bryn Mawr student to go on an academic study tour with him. I applied for the trip, thinking that I wouldnt' get it. And I'm not trying to be modest because this was such a shot in the dark. Preference was given to East Asian Study majors (which I am not), and there were 19 applications for four spots, so I knew I had a very slim chance. But I knew that if I didn't apply I would hate myself for passing up such a great opportunity, so I applied and well, I got in. What a pleasant surprise =]. It's funny because just two weeks ago in small group we were talking about our summers and how we didn't know what we would be doing. And God just blesses me with his amazing opportunity. We'll be touring with the professor for three weeks, and then we we have a week to spend on our own in and around Shanghai. I have to admit I'm super psyched.
But ah, I can't even think too much about China now because this week is going to be crazy. Rehearsals for the theater festival every day, one 6-page paper, one 5-page paper, prepping to interview people for my religion project, and of course work at CPGC and the Humanities Center every day. I dont' see myself sleeping very much this week.
Ok, time to get cracking on my essays. []Deace out.

I am in looooove with this kid...
Kevin Alexander Clark, you are the cutest thing ever. I watched School of Rock today, and he just stole my heart. My true love is 13 years old right now. hahahahahahaha.
Ok, this is the last picture, I swear. This is him as Freddy Jones, the dummer, in School of Rock. And he actually does play the drums in real life.
Aw, what a cute, uniform, prep-school kid =D
I'm on Spring Break for a week, and tomorrow morning I leave for North Carolina on a Habitat for Humanity trip. Should be fun =].
