DUDE, TAIWAN ROCKS!!!!

I got back a few days ago from my 10 day trip in Taiwan and WOW what a trip. I had so much fun I can't even begin to explain. Jetlag was harsh (14 hour time difference for a 13 hour flight. Gross.), but once we got there we had a blast. Taipei City is amazing and I WANT TO GO BACK SO BAD! We also went to Kaohsiung, which was just as amazing with a beautiful beach view, although Kenting had an even better one where we actually could walk on the beach. Our recitals went very well and I think everyone got 10 times better by the end of the trip. PS AMAZING FOOD!!!! We would just walk down the street or market and try samples and just go "MMM" at everything! Good cheap shopping too. So Taiwan, you get my stamp of approval as a country worth visiting. I totally want to go back and hope to soon.

I guess I should explain my title. There were five of us with our voice teacher and everywhere we went it would just be a little line of people. We thus dubbed our teacher Mama Duck. As a result, we all got our own nicknames: Hungry Duck, Slow Duck, Loud Duck, Baby Duck, and me: Whatever Duck. Confused? I was the moral neutrality of the group and my most common response to anything going on or any decisions was "Whatever." Thus Whatever Duck.

Not much else new to report since coming back... Oh wait yes, I have news. I'M GOING ABROAD NEXT SEMESTER!!!!! That is right folks, I will be in London for the Fall at Syracuse University's Abroad Program for Drama. I am SO psyched about this.... except for the forms, but you know, gotta get ready somehow.

This has been a buuuuusy week. I am so exhausted... actually sick today, but truckin along.

Nothing else to report. Carry on.

..... Ummmmmm..... I don't remember the context of this one, but it's funny nonetheless!

Okaaaaaay, busy past few weeks. I went to MWTA and did VERY well! I got called back to 10 theaters and now am waiting to hear from them to see if I get any job offers. Cross your fingers for me!

Liaisons opened and closed and did EXTREMELY well. Many people have come up to us and said this is the best production they have seen at Trinity since being here, which is a HUGE complement, of course. I will miss it dearly, but now it's on to our next show, You Can't Take It With You! Come down to see this one in late April.

Classes have been reeeeally rough lately, unfortunately. Too much stuff due, not enough time to do it in. Eh, whatcha gonna do? I am currently working on a costume design for A Midsummer Night's Dream for my Costume Design class, which is actually pretty fun. When we get to sketching though, we will have some time issues. That has been the highlight of my classes so far, though.

Trinitones have a concert coming up in less than a month! Aah! If you are in San Antonio in early April, should come see us. Comment if you want some details on this concert.

I recently found a new addiction: Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Dear God, someone help me... Seriously.

Well, that's about all for now. Did I forget anything? Hmmmmm.... Oh right, yeah, that little thing..... I LEAVE FOR TAIWAN IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!! I will be back after Spring Break and will let you all know what happens, but my Voice Studio trip starts soon! Wish me a happy trip and a bon voyage!

Later!
