Past couple of days...

News from the Goucher front:

• On Tuesday evening, we were informed at the OCT meeting by our lovely pres that if nobody volunteered to be our SGA Representative, we would have our funding cut off. That means no Rocky Horror, no Musical Revue, and no Reefer Madness. Ick. I volunteered.
• In rehearsal, we ran through our intermission section in Six Characters. I can't tell more about it here, but I have more to do in intermission than I have to do for most of the show...
  
• On Wednesday, Directing went well, with a lovely video presentation done by my pal Melissa W. It was a video montage of all of our friends here goofing off together. Really lovely. She's gonna get it up on YouTube soon.
• Italian was a good meh, as always.
• In Film, we talked about Soviet Montage Theorists, and Russian Formalism. Ohmygod. Some really cool stuff to learn, and also some of the most dry and dense reading I have ever had to do for a class. The clips that Turner showed were really cool, though, and actually made sense in the context of the theory we had just learned. (I have to say, the Kuleshov effect is probably one of the coolest things ever.) We also got some Charlie Chaplin to lighten the mood.
• Instead of going back to my room and taking a nap, which is what normally happens for me on Wednesdays, I went to the library and got some books on Murnau, and a copy of the script of Swimming to Cambodia, as I had seen a section of the film in Theatre Production, and it looked really cool. It came in really handy at the
• SGA Legislature Meeting. I wanted to die. We got nothing done, and it took one and a half hours out of my life that I can never have back. Never. Those hours are lost to me. And I have to do this weekly, or no funding. Sigh... Like I said, reading about how Cambodia was bombed was an upper. I plan to bring schoolwork every week, and make it a study-hall where people shout a lot.
• Rehearsal was productive, and I'm very pleased that our opening music for the show is "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" I really like this group that we have created. I'll be sad when this is over...
