So to speak...

I learned a little about the military this weekend. One of my best friends and suitemate is in ROTC and one of his ROTC friends, he, and I were hanging out and talking about... life... yeah... Anyway, I learned about some of the required etiquette in ROTC, one of which is related to use of language. Many phrases have some sexual connotation to them (container, rocket, etc.), some of which are a little ridiculous, but require you, when saying them, to follow it up with "so to speak." See, to me, that's just "That's what she said." with a fancy cover up. So whenever I can, I am going to say "so to speak" when I deem necessary. You should join in. We will start an epidemic. It will be the new "that's what she said" or "awkward turtle".

Been a busy past two weeks. Homework is starting to catch up with me and I am beginning to drop back, but I am getting everything done. I need a break every once in a while, some Smash Bros. or some simple hang out time, but I am doing alright.

I went to several people with my summer job issue for advice and came up with some good thoughts, but not much. I decided to take action and recontact all of my theaters to see if anything popped up. THANK GOD I DID. I have two offers to my name, one of which I am taking: Canterbury Summer Theatre in Michigan City, IN, where I worked last year. I will be Nick in Bedroom Farce, Laurie in Little Women, Billy Crocker in Anything Goes, and a performer in I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, maybe more (w00t!). Thank God this is all finally working out.

Choir is busy busy busy lately. Chamber Singers have a concert this Friday which seemed to have snuck up on us. I think we will be ready, but we need to pick up the pace a bit. Trinity Choir is working on Mozart's Requiem (LOVE IT) for the end of the month. Come to either if you can.

This weekend is Family Weekend down here at Trinity, which means it's time fooooooor Trinity Spotlight! Trinity Spotlight is our talent show at school, where whatever acts who wish to can compete for a cash prize. Last year the Trinitones won with "Hooked on a Feeling" (because we pretty much rock) and this year we are competing again with... well it's a surprise, hehe...

Next weekend is opening for You Can't Take It With You. Please come down if you can to see it because it is freakin' HILARIOUS. You will have a grand old time. April 18-26 (see Trinity's Drama webpage for details on times, etc.).

Can't think of anything else to add on to that, so carry on through thick and thin.
