A Christmas Carol

Tonight, my Charles Dickens class at Crandall performed "A Christmas Carol" for an audience of about 30-40 people in the auditorium. Not a big turn-out, but hey, it was better than an empty room! I wish I had pictures, because some of our costumes were hilarious, but unfortunately I detest taking pictures and as a result do not have any to post.

The performance was great! I had the enjoyable task of being Marley and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, and for that role I raided my brother's bedroom for everything black and sinister I could find, and ended up looking like the grim reaper. A short, slim grim reaper, but fairly scary none-the-less.

Of the whole entire night, though, I have to say my favourite moment was when I was on stage reading to the audience and I realized my fly was down. Yep, that was a moment to remember. For everyone haha.

This is the third event our English Society has hosted this semester, and I would like to take this moment to brag and say that none of the other societies have even come close to competing with ours this year!

Also, we named our English Society "The Inklings: Second Generation," just for kicks. Pretty darn cool, eh?

I finished my very last paper of the semester a few hours ago, and the amount of relief I feel is unbelievable. However, the semester is not over yet, and I now have exams to worry about!!!

Procrastination

Well, it is now paper and exam week at friendly ol' Crandall U, and rather than writing an amazing paper of epic proportions or studying my brains out, I am procrastinating. So far, I have changed my blog title and appearance, which was fun, but not very time-consuming.

Therefore, I moved along to my favourite form of procrastination: youtube/music. There is nothing in life better than music! And there is no music better than the Beatles'! But I am not going to post a Beatles song, because that has been wayyyy overdone, and I would like my blog to be slightly original. Even just a teeny little bit.

SO! Here is a different song I'm listening to at the moment. On a side note, don't you find it super annoying when you like a band, and then that band produces a few songs that become famous, and then the mob flocks to this band and becomes its "fans," leaving you looking like one of the mob. Yeah, it drives me nuts! Anyway....



Also, I would like to say, pictures of little couples in love are very cute. They never get old, for some reason. Weird.
Well now, I think I should get back to work, or to procrastinating from work. We'll see.

Oh, and Rebekah, since you're the only person who knows about my blog, you can yell at me a bit more if I give up on posting again. Thanks :)
