Happy Groundhog Day to anyone still in blogland!(...it's now March... Happy almost St. Patrick's Day?) As you can probably tell, I've been busy. Things have been going non-stop since I got to Boston. The semester in review: I was wary at first, no one was around just popping their head in to say hello like college kids supposedly do.
Eventually the rest of the people living at West Campus surfaced and I met a bunch of other design and production majors. Keren, the other designer in my really sweet quad is awesome and we're going to live together again next year. I got really lucky as roomates go. The actresses in my room are nuts and obnoxious at times, mostly Sophie, but it could be far worse.
Classes are a little nuts, projects immediately from the first class. It was scary being thrown right into everything like that, but it was the best way to go probably. Theatere Ensemble, one of my new classes for second semester is a big crazy-fest for 6 hours a week in which we writ terrible angsty poetry and are then forced to present it standing on our heads and crazy things like that. Definitely makes for good stories though.
Production on The Magic Flute wrapped up right before spring break (which is right now, I'm home by the way, if you're reading this, stop wasting time and call me!) and it was challening and exhausting, butalso fun and worth it. Nicole came and saw the show and we spent an exciting weekend running through the snowy streets of Boston and not doing very much. It was fun, but next time she comes I'll actually plan fun things for us to do.
And that's that in a nutshell. I know, months, and all you get are a few paragraphs, but really that's all there is. Life is better than I figured it would be looking ahead from this time last year and I'm glad about it. I saw The Wizard of Oz and everyone was awesome and I definitely got nostalgic for drama and all those people and things, but college is good too. Other than being severely sleep deprived a great majority of the time, I can't really complain. I'll try to update more often, if only with quick thoughts or something. Just to keep everyone interested. (Everyone meaning just Tessa...maybe.) Yay!
