Monday

Well it's monday. Ijust got done with an exam in Management Race and Gender a few hours ago. I think it went pretty well but we'll see. THis last weekend was men's choir tour. Thursday night's concert at St. Paul's Cathedral in Fon Du Lac was amazing. It was the most musical experience I've had since singing in the colluseum back in high school. Last night was RENT put on by the Broadway touring company, and wow it was the most technically advance show that i have ever seen. The lighting set up was phenomenal. So many differnet perspectives and viewpoints it was just amazing. The sound was loud and at times the balance of the band outweighed the singing from where i was sitting. It was opverall phenomenal however. Now its back to class two weeks before i go home for spring break which should be a lot of fun since molly and deven are coming with me. i'll post again when i can.

Here I sit

Well here I am once again in Micro Comp Apps class. Once i said before an utter waste of my time. Nothing really new in my life since last week. Extremely busy between my oblifations as sound designer for of mice and men as well as my part in the show and bneing a pirate at the same time. Molly and i are great she does a really good job of keeping me on task and making sure that i get all of my work done on time. Found a place to live next year which will be nice. The rent is cheeper than the place i am living now so that will be very helpful. ANd we can have pets there so i may look into geting a kitten sometime this summer. Thats all for now. Have a great day.

Back again

So here I am in my micro computer applications class. Which I have to take for my major and which I find also find an utter waste of time. Write now we are "learning" how to use Powerpoint, a program that I have been using for about 4 years now. When we are done with this we are going to move into learning how to use Word. So as I said an utter waste of time. I have realised now however that it is nice hour break during which I can start blogging again. So recently I have been extremely busy. I am currently in three different shows on stage. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. This show is an adaptation of a popular children's book and we will be taking this on the road in April to area grade schools. The perks of this is that I get 3 upper level cradits for participating. I am also playing the role of Candy in the show Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. We are going on stage with this in just two weeks. Candy is an old ranch hand who ironically is missing his right hand. We are performing this show in the Platteville municipal theater, which is a beautiful old theater that was built in the 1920's just before the stock market crash. The only problem is that the fly sytem in this theater has not been updated since it was built and so was recently condemned. However myself and 2 others are workign to run new ropes and fix any problems so that it will be workable again. This job is nto for those with a fear of heights. Its an 80 foot vertical climb up a ladder on to a platform of metal planks that allow you to easily see through the floor. Since all the lightbulbs except for one on the far side are burnt out we must work by flashlight while reaching around an I beam 80 feet in the air to restring the rigging. Before my mom freaks out though I must explain that we take all necesary precaution while doing this and face no real danger while up there except dust inhalation, which jsut makes for getting very dirty and sneezing occasionally. Beyond this show I am also playing a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance which goes on stage the last weekend of March in to April. So I am keeping busy with all of these shows and homework. I get all of this done with the help of the best girl in the world my girlfriend Molly who continues to amaze me everyday and keeps me motivated and on task and on time so that i can get everythign done that i need to.
