Alright everyone, I am continuing the 30 day music challange.
Day 2: You least Favorite song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M11SvDtPBhA
I detest this song. It defines everything that is wrong with music today. One of the major problems with it is the singer and the fact that the song gets stuck in your head really easily until I want to punch myself in the face for annoying myself. Runner up- Friday by Rebecca Black, but that is accualty kind of funny.
Don't enjoy this song
Bye-Bye!

In the roaring traffics boom
Hey!
Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. Life became really busy. I was two cabarets and have multiple long assignments in my life to do. It's really a joy.
The weather here has been temperamental. It's pretty cold right and my dorm decided to turn it's heater off and hasn't turned it back on when it got cold again. Right now I'm wearing a sweater and two sweatshirts and am still slightly cold. Lots of tea to warm my hands is the key right now.
I've also been dealing a lot lately with this annoying scene partner for Acting I. He is a senior business major and seems to think that the only legitimate major is his own and said that everyone in my class, which is mostly drama majors are pretentious and that acting is (pardon my French) bullshit. It makes me angry because if he feels that way, why is he taking the class? Even if you need an elective, why take a class you think is dumb? He also has a really thin skin which is going to kill him in the business world. Acting has trained me to grow a thick skin.
Now, here is the linchpin of this post. Any of you who have a facebook have seen the 30 day photo challenge. Here I present the 30 day music challenge:
Day 1: your favorite song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YUe2I7M0N4
It's such a challenge to pick my favorite song because I love so many songs. The decision came down to the one song that never fails to make me feel super happy. This song could honestly fit under any of the headings, that is how much I love it.
The way this works is that you have to click on the link to find out what song it is!
Enjoy!

Happy St.Patrick's Day!!!
My family is incredibly Irish. I'm 100% Irish and 2nd generation so this day was always an important day for my mom and I. Typically we would be making soda bread and eating potatoes (no corned beef, I hate it) and listen to Irish music. This year, not much of that is going to be happening except that I get to enjoy a whole new tradition: Catholic University's St.Patrick's Day.
All I can say is: insanity. I've never seen so much green in my life. Most of the school is Irish so today is a massive day for everyone. The weather was perfect today, in the 60s all day. The Pryz was serving Irish food but I avoided it because I really don't trust the food here.
Along with all of this comes the drunk people which is more entertaining then a nuisance. People started this morning at about eight and have been going all day, it's slightly ridiculous. I even think my philosophy professor was drunk this morning because he was behaving even more erratically then he normally does like spilling coffee on himself in the middle of a lecture and telling us about (what I guessed) was his love life. It was very funny and slightly weird.
I just had a rehearsal for a playwrighting cabaret that I am in. It's been a good time. And I'm in another thing called A Lifetime of Secrets which is based off of Postsecret. This a completely Freshmen idea and project and it's been a good way for the Freshmen to work with one another.
Tonight I will most likely drink an incredible amount of Berry's Tea and listen to Irish music which I am doing right now. But who knows what else the night holds.
Have a good St.Patrick's Day

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Spring Break is officially over and I've been back in the District for about two hours now. I'm running on no sleep and am attempting to be productive which is being done half-heartily. I really wish break had been longer because I was just settling into being back home and not doing work. But my summer is in eight weeks so I don't have too much to complain about. I'm guessing most of my upset self is coming from a lack of sleep.
On a good note, as I sat in the shuttle from the airport today, I heard on the radio that today is the last Sunday of Winter which made me so happy that I started packing away my winter things right when I got back to my dorm. Time to get the flip-flops back out! The Weather back home spoiled me because it was so nice. I even went swimming on Wednesday at Indian Springs which is an amazing spa in Napa. Needless to say, I am ready for the warm weather of Spring which is soon to come.
I also saw a show at my high school over Spring Break and nothing made me feel better then when people would run up to me in excitement that I was there. I caught up on all the gossip (mainly consisting of who got into what colleges) but I also learned about CTE's trip to London which I did last year. They are going to be seeing many plays but the one that makes me most jealous is The Children's Hour with Kiara Knightly and Elizabeth Moss (Peggy Olson on Mad Men). Talk about a trifecta of amazing! I'm tempted to skip class and fly over to London to see it with them. Instead I will watch every season of Mad Men to make up for it.
While waiting for my flight back to Oakland last week, I bought a book to pass the time called Frank: The Voice. It discusses the life of Frank Sinatra from the beginning of his life until his Oscar win for From Here to Eternity in 1954. It's very interesting and only furthers my love of Sinatra and his pure genius. The best part of Spring Break was that I got so much reading done and for Lent I decided that I would read for myself ten minutes each day, as well as giving up french fries.
My break basically ended with a tsunami warning for the whole West Coast because of the terrible Earthquake/ Tsunami in Japan. This is the one and only time I will be Catholic on this blog but if you are religious, please pray for the people of Sendai. Thanks.
I have homework to do today such as a nasty Spanish composition and I really do not want to do it. Ahh well, Spring Break is over. I best be off to write that composition. I hope everyone enjoys their last few days of Winter and gets ready for the upcoming Spring!
Bye-Bye!

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
It is finally the end of the week which makes me unbelievably happy! This week has been long, so long I can't even remember what happened on Monday. I've had two midterms over the last two days and last night I was studying for hours for my Theater 2 midterm and went slightly insane. Today, I listened to three hours of Beatles music at work and Now I have the weekend ahead with my only plans being working box office on the shows here at Catholic.
Speaking of shows, I saw one of them last weekend called She Said/ She Said. If you live in the Washington DC area, I suggest you come and see this show (along with the other Requiem) because it is amazing. Just an innocent plug for the shows.
This week, I made my triumphant return to the Town and Gown choir which I hadn't been able to go to because of Troy Women. It was so nice to be able to sing for two hours and I was extremely happy that night. This week has been mellow besides for that. We had Monday classes twice this week so I was supposed to go to Spanish four times this week which made me very unhappy. But I only went three times because......
It snowed Monday night. Two days after it had been 70 degrees here in DC. Why is the weather so strange here. Classes were canceled Tuesday morning because of the snow but I still had Theater 2 which was interesting because I got to help exhibit how a breakaway bottle works.
My teacher, Mark, had pulled me aside last week and asked me if I would be willing to set up this whole situation with the breakaway bottle. Basically, I would have my phone ring in class and Mark would call me out on it. I would say something sassy when he took my phone and he would hit me over the head with the bottle. Mark had been excited all week about this and kept telling me that it would illicit a scream from someone in the class. Well, Tuesday was the day where we would do this. I kept trying to get my phone to be loud enough in class and it wasn't working. Finally it did and Mark and I did the little show. I hammed it up pretty well and fell to the floor, pretending to faint.Everyone in the class was in hysterics. I put my hand to my head and noticed that there was blood on it. My head had been cut in a few places. The real kicker here is that a breakaway bottle is made out of sugar glass, which is just sugar and water and it is made this way precisely so someone doesn't get hurt.
Yes, I got cuts from sugar.
Needless to say, the whole experience is quite hilarious.
On another note, this time next week I will be sitting in Dulles airport to fly home for Spring Break. I am super excited about having a break from classes and work.
I hope that everyone has a great weekend and doesn't get cut by sugar glass as well.

Every day is Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day!!
If you are like me and are not a big fan of this day, I hope you are successfully avoiding it. I am accualty having a nice day because I finally have gotten rid of the nasty flu that I had since Thursday! Also, the bane of my existence known as Spanish in which I had a test went a lot better then I thought it would. Mostly I am happy about getting well.
This weekend I was trapped inside with a nasty, awful flu. It mainly was bad because I didn't have my mother with me to give some of her advice and I felt like I had no idea what I could do to get better. Apparently, watching a lot of Top Chef seemed to do the trick. Now I am all better.
How am I spending my Valentine's Day? By dedicating it to Martin Scorsese. I've watched today Gangs of New York and The Departed and maybe later, some Boardwalk Empire. Because nothing says "Happy Valentine's Day" better then movies with a high body count. Both of these movies are quite good though Gangs of New York stood out to me a little more.
My mother told me on the phone earlier today that "Valentine's Day should be a day to love yourself" so that is what I am going to do. I think I'll go watch some more Top Chef and enjoy my day.
Hope you all enjoy Valentine's Day!

So Long, Farewell, auf Wiedersehen adieu
Troy Women closed on Sunday. To say that I am sad is almost an understatement. Yesterday was rough because I was getting myself all ready to go to rehearsal at 6:30 when I remembered that I wasn't going to be having rehearsal. I cried a little bit about that. I miss being covered in fake blood everyday (It did smell really good) and laughing until I couldn't breathe. It was such a great experience and made me so happy that this was my first full-fledged thing I did for Catholic Drama.
The show was a rousing success. Everyone who saw the show said it was amazing which (not to toot my own horn) it was. The direction, everything came together so well and the two seniors that were in it were absolutely amazing. There is nothing better then knowing that you were part of a great process that ended with a great show. I've been getting compliments from people I don't even know around the department and it feels great. I've been in plenty of shows where the whole process sucked and the show ended up being good. I'm one of those people that needs a good cast and the process can be awful as long as I have good people, but a good process is always nice.
Now begins the taping of things to my dorm room wall such as the program, pictures from the show, and the poster from the show to remember this great show. I'm glad I was so happy with this show and was offered the chance to be in Troy Women. Thank you so much Lindsay, Joanna, and Alison!
I'm doing a performance comp when I am a senior. No questions asked. I want to have this experience again:
Bye-Bye!
PS: The blog title was the song we would always sing to one another at the end of rehearsal so it seemed only fitting.

Levon wears his war wound like a crown
It's officially February now! Not that the weather is any different here then it had been in January, it's just something about this month that makes it better then January. Who knows why?
Anyway, Troy Women has officially opened! Tonight was our opening and it was great! Everyone was so amazing in the show. Everything came together and people loved it! I've never felt so happy to be a part of a show in all of my life. I proudly walk to the Pryz after every show covered in fake blood and dirt (cocoa powder and red velvet cake batter, great smell) and enjoy the multiple times I am asked what happened to my face. In high school, I would never have gone out in public like that. I guess I've grown.
The cast is amazing. We are all super goofy but know when it is time to get to work and become connected with the terrible lives of the Trojan women. Every person in the cast is incredibly talented and just wonderful. I'm going to miss the three seniors involved in this show so much.
Today was an amazing day with the only low point being when I had to clean the really gross microwaves and fridge in the Hartke. It was awful. Never allow anything to get that dirty, people will hate you forever when they have to clean it.
Life is just swell here and I'm very happy. The last week has been very nostalgic for me in terms of listening to music from my childhood and re watching We're Back! A Dinosaur Story which I remember loving as a child. The funniest part of the movie is the fact that three of the voices are Walter Cronkite, Jay Leno, and Julia Child. Talk about a random cast. It still is super entertaining including the really strange Little Richard song at the end.
There are two more days left of Troy Women and I will be so sad when it is over. Who will I tell my highs and lows to?
I hope everyone has a good February. Thanks for reading!
