National Coming Out Month

In honor of National Coming Out Month, I am coming out...as a blogger. For years I have kept my blog private as I didn't want to offend anyone. However, I am done with that, as I realized I don't care. As I have had this blog for over 3 years, I have posted a lot of things. A lot of them from high school, which is nice. However, I have grown up considerably since then. I no longer dwell upon the petty things. I don't "hate" my parents as we have the best relationship in years. (Probably because I am not living with them.) I want my blog to be public knowledge. I don't care if people don't like what I have to say. I am just going to keep the previous years as an archive of my last years in high school. I am going to move on from there. So, here's to my new blog.

I haven't posted much since starting school. Mainly because I am busy with class work, etc. So, I will just post on what has been going on in my life.

Stagecraft: I love this class. We started out with a carpentry unit. We had to build a set of sawhorses for the scene shop. Not only did we have to do that, but we had to draft out working drawings of a set of sawhorses we already made. After overcomplicating things, I finally got mine done. Perfectly, mind you. I loved my sawhorses. We are currently in the scenic painting unit. Wow, that's something I never thought I'd do. We have to paint marble on one 2'x 4' flat, and bricks on the other. I am currently working on my marble. Both flats are due on Monday, so I will have to work on them during the weekend.

Script Analysis: Another amazing class. We have only been analyzing The Glass Menagerie upto this point. It's pretty intense. I hated The Glass Menagerie when I read it in high school. However, I love it now. We are going to be starting on Hamlet. Hamlet is the first script we have to do an analysis paper on. Apparently they are pretty intense. I am looking forward to my final analysis. I get to analyze Equus. It's gonna be crazy.

Acting Basics: We do yoga in this class. However, it isn't the "break into a sweat and be smelly the rest of the day" yoga, it is the "breathe and stretch" yoga. I like it so much more than the kind we did in Acting 2. I actually loathed the yoga from acting 2. Julia always expected me to warm up to it: I never did. However, that's in the past. This is a nice class because the only outside work required so far is an occasional assignment, and 3 days of exercise per week. The in-class stuff is pretty relaxing. However, I wish I could melt into the floor for a longer period of time.

Theatre History and Literature 1: This is probably my favorite class this semester. There is a lot of actual content and factual information in this one. It's probably going to be my most challenging class this semester. The study sessions are going to be great. I also am getting the opportunity to read a lot of plays, which is nice. However, it is sometimes hard to fit all that reading into my schedule. I am not going to lie. Sparknotes has helped me out a bit in this class. We recently delved into Roman theatre. Interesting. The Romans were just a bunch of plagiarist bastards. Here's what I learned about Greek theatre: Don't fuck with Oedipus.

Interpersonal Communications: This is my only non-theatre class. However, it is part of my communications/business major. I never go to this class because I stay in my room and do the readings. It is some interesting stuff. I have a test tomorrow, which I am going to rock. But, if I don't, then I will have to start attending class. I think it is going to go wonderfully. Not much else to say about this.

The Comedy of Errors: No this isn't a class. It is Augustana's first offical mainstage production for the 2006-2007 school year. I play Dromio of Ephesus. Technically, this is my first lead role ever. It's kinda intimidating as it is Shakespeare. Tonight we had to be off-book for Acts 1 and 2. I thought it went semi-well. It is going to be a good show. The set is amazing. Everyone should come see the show. Nov. 9-11, 16-18 in the Edith Mortenson Theater on the Augustana College Campus.

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading.
