Oh boy, so much has happened in my life I hardly know where to begin. I’ll leave out classes since they’re less exciting and I’ve been much more focused on other things recently.
Well, Quidditch hasn’t quite started again because we’ve run into a bit of a road block about where to store our hoops once we make them. And the weather’s been pretty crappy. We’re hoping to have mini games with area kids this weekend, though, and I think it will be really fun! Also, the Middlebury Quidditch website has been updated, and it looks great. This is our part of the page if you wanna check it out: http://collegequidditch.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=138&Itemid=138
Fencing is over. I finished the season fencing B strip, which was a bit of a joke. I tried, but I was fencing girls who’ve been fencing since high school or earlier, so I was just happy if I got one touch. Nevertheless, I’m excited for next year, fencing A strip is going to be hilarious. Good thing we only have one or two tournaments first semester.
Voice lessons are going well. Tomorrow I get to sing for Kelli O’Hara! She’s currently starring in the Broadway revival of South Pacific, and she’s been nominated for three Tonys. She’s coming to Vassar to give a master class and recital which I auditioned to sing in and I was one of about a dozen student selected. I can’t wait! I hear she’s incredible!
Lastly, my play, Metamorphoses, just ended. We had a great run! By the end the set, which is basically a huge pool, was no longer leaking, the water was warm, almost no one slipped on the slick steps/deck/pool, and the set/lighting design was gorgeous. We were lucky enough to have 5 pretty much sold-out performances, and some great audiences. Jason Alexander (George Constanza from Seinfeld and that one courier dude from the Brandi Cinderella) even came to see it one night! And he gave us a standing ovation! We were ecstatic. Unfortunately, now it’s over. I already miss it. The cast was just an incredible group of people and I love them all. Our cast party was last night and it culminated in a huge cuddle-lump on the couch that was almost impossible to extricate oneself from. I think that’s a pretty accurate metaphor for the cast, actually.
I’ve got three huge papers looming, but I’m not going to worry about those right now. I’d rather think about spending next Sunday with the Tosa Gehreds in Central Park, and the Sunday after that seeing August: Osage County on Broadway, and the Metamorphoses cast and crew reunion dinner, and the Miyazaki movie marathon, etc. I’m feeling very contented, if a little melancholy. I love you all.
