First Week For Many, Second Week For Some.

Jan. 17, 2023  

My first week of my second semester of junior year was...long and short at the same time. It did pass by quickly, since half of my in-person classes were cancelled for most of the week, but slowly also, because most of that free time was spent sitting around, waiting for something to come up to entertain me.

That wasn't all bad, though; it meant I could have lunch with my best friend (a newly-minted freshman) and her friends from the E-Sports team.

Either way, we do have choir together, and that's something I've been looking forward to since she got admitted into the university back in October.

This week kicks things back into high gear. Wish me luck. I also wish you all luck as you likely are starting out your semester this week. Start strong, so you can finish stronger.

We’ve all heard it: the claims from friends and relatives of how easy we must have it “just singing and dancing” for schoolwork. But, as any performance, tech, or dance major will tell you– it’s not as simple as it sounds. There’s a lot that goes into being a theatre arts student that people often miss while not walking in our shoes– tap, jazz, or character.

Fandom-ism isn't a one-way street, for the most part at least. One fandom usually bleeds into another one, and then another one, and soon enough you're a fan of more things than you originally expected.
