Semester of big thoughts.

So here we are, one week into the semester and already I'm overwhelming myself. First off, my second project in my costume construction class is a project using 60% recycle materials. The good news? I can finally make beads out of paper for a reason, not just because I can. The bad news? I need to make thousands of them for my idea to work. Bead making party anyone?

In addition to the two classes I'm taking, I'm working 17 hours a week in the costume shop. Loving the experience and the money, and the best part is I'm done by five every night, so I almost have the chance for a social life.

Why almost, you ask? I'm still teaching with the After School Strings Program, even though it has been BUTCHERED by the powers that be. We have drastically reduced teaching time, but the upshot is I get to have control over how all of the low string students learn. Not to be trash talking anyone, but in the past there have been several differences of opinion in technique and teaching etiquette, so I'm sort of glad to have the confusion gone.

Along the same lines, I'm going to try to convince the high school age students that taking lessons is a beneficial experience, because I love teaching, and hopefully they like learning.

Also, apparently I'm a fashion designer of sorts, as well as a tailor of sorts. Weird.

All I can say to this semester is "Let's do this!"

FIRST BLOG!!!

Ok, so maybe the title is a little melodramatic, but what can you expect from a Theatre major? Besides, I think life's much to short to be boring all the time, so why not spice it up a bit with silly clothes, or disproportionate reactions to the world around you.

I can't promise how often I'll be able to update this, but crazy things happen all the time in my life, so whenever I get the chance, I'll fill you in on the excitement.

What will the first taste of the crazy that is my life be? Well, here it is:

 NEW BOWTIE!!!! (See what I mean about having disproportionate reactions? Fun, huh?)
