It's a really good thing that daffodils and crocuses are pushing through the dirt because something about Spring Break makes teachers realize that they should start piling on the work. Those flowers definitely are soothing. Which is great considering that midterms, other tests, myriad group projects, etc. are not really the most relaxing.
Last week was Fall registration time. I cannot believe that I actually scheduled classes for my SENIOR YEAR of college. Unbelievable. College really has gone so fast. Next year I'm taking Legal Issues in Tourism and Hospitality, Destination and Event Management, Organizational Management in T & H, Senior Professional Development Seminar, and last but not least, an arts class for my Core that somehow I haven't taken in the last three years.
Friday night I was lucky enough to see Idina Menzel at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware! Idina originated the roles of Maureen in "RENT" and Elphaba in "Wicked" and she's since been in other stuff and also has a couple of albums out of her own stuff. I'm sort of a musical theatre geek, and so it was an overwhelmingly wonderful experience.
Last night I went with my mom and one of her friends to the high school musical near my hometown. My mom's friend is a teacher and a bunch of her students were in the show. "Thoroughly Modern Millie" was the show and it was gerat-- lots of tap dancing and crazy plot twists. A thoroughly entertaning distraction.
