Earlier in the semester I was in the school play. We put on Seussical the musical. The show itself is so ridiculous but one of the most fun shows I have ever been in. The plot is basically a combination of a ton of Dr. Seuss books and follows Horton the elephant from finding the speck of dust with the Who people on it and his efforts to save them. I was cast s a jungle citizen/ circus animal and I had a horrific pink and purple costume. The assistant director decided I looked like a flamingo and so we had a good time coming up with my makeup for the show. I got a ton of compliments on it from the directors, cast members, and all my friends who came to see it. We had amazing turnouts and the Friday and Saturday night performances were both sold out. People were offering to pay twenty dollars for the originally two dollar tickets and asking everyone they knew if they could sneak them in to see the show.
Last weekend I got to go to Pipeline Cafe and see The All-American Rejects! It was my first concert and it was completely insane but so much fun. I got knocked down four times but at one point I was second from the front so it was absolutely worth it. It was quite an adventure of cars breaking down in tunnels and police being completely unhelpful to get us there but we made it and it was amazing. Tyson Ritter was clearly on ecstasy or something very similar but they are great performers and surprisingly good live.
So on April 18th I fly home until mid-September and I have no desire to stay in the dorms next year so my friend Sharisse and I have been looking for a house. We found a house in Hau'ula that is about a ten minute drive from campus, but she will have a car as soon as she gets back so I'm not too worried about the drive. The house is so nice and big! We absolutely love the house so yesterday I signed my contract and made a deposit :]
Well, for my Education 212 class, I have to complete a ten-hour practicum observing an helping a teacher at either Laie Elementary or Kahuku High. Since I want to be a high school English and/or Drama teacher, obviously I went for Kahuku. It took a million years to actually get started, but yesterday I had my first day and it was so much fun. I went in for my first class and the teacher is really nice. She introduced me to her class and told them I am a student at BYUH and this one girl in the very back of the class blurted out "She's in college?? I thought she was like grade 11!" Yeah. It was awesome. I'm really not surprised though, there are probably seniors at the school older than I am. After her English class i stayed for her Intermediate Drama class and that was my favorite part. The kids were so much fun.
And yeah, those are pretty much the only somewhat exciting things that have happened. I'm gonna work on posting more stuff here, so hopefully you'll be hearing from me soon :]
