Last weekend, I went on the Chicago Shakespeare trip! It was lots of fun! Though we had to leave super early on Friday morning, it made Sunday night and Monday morning much easier on us all. We saw Gnomeo and Juliet in the movie theater along with As You Like It at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. I love to watch plays performed of plays I have already read. Amazing. I can’t wait to watch Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre! Here is us at the Theater!
We finally got accepted into the International English conference, so we finalized our travel arrangements. J It’ll be the first two trips where a travel agent hasn’t booked my things for me! I’m going out on my own—well, sort of at least.
I’m still waiting on graduate schools to get back with me. Many of them said I would know in March or early April. Too long to wait if you ask me.
The Vagina Monologues performance was last night! We had an amazing turn out—like 300 people! The Brown Bag was well-attended as well—and not only by the usual crowd! I am so glad Meagan and I got to work with an amazing cast and crew who all did an amazing job last night! I’m so glad it’s over, but certainly sad as well. Meagan and I decided that we are certainly going out with a bang! I hope they will continue with the same force and determination we all had this year for next year! Below are all the lovely ladies I had the pleasure of working with:
This semester, I cannot really choose my favorite class. Well, except for Spanish… I definitely know that is not my favorite. I would have to say it is between my three English classes and Women’s History. I enjoy preparing and reading for all of the classes. Nerd alert but I’m happy I’m taking classes I actually like during my last semester of my undergrad. Midterms are next week. Eek! I have two midterm exams for two of my English classes and then an oral midterm for Spanish 4. I’m nervous. This weekend is going to focus on homework and studying! I need to catch up on everything! I also want to write two papers and do serious research for another paper!
Spring break is coming so incredibly soon! Only a week. I don’t plan on going anywhere this year, but I still think it should be a lot of fun. Who wouldn’t have fun with a 5-day break from classes?
Play practice is going well. I love the scene in which I talk… I’m a gossipy woman in a shop acting much more pretentious than she has to actually back up. It’s only four weeks away basically, and one week we’re off due to Spring Break! Eek!
This weekend I am also determined to really lay out my trip to Europe in May! I’m going to the mall tomorrow, so I’ll stop by Barnes and Noble and get a planning book. It’s so unreal to think that I’m going to be there in three months!
It is less than three months to graduation and only days until midterms. It’s so surreal. It is also going by so fast—especially because of the craziness that is life.
