Let's understand.

Alright. Something that's getting on my nerves.

A Definition:
Tech Week--An excruciatingly long week comprised of daily 6 hour rehearsals usually running overtime in which many numbers are run over and over and there is much time to do homework and sit around, however, it is a very tiring procedure and most of the time, there are essays for other classes that must be completed on a computer, therefore keeping students up late into the night after drama has finished.

Diagnosis:
Excessive crabbiness mixed with occasional emotional outbursts, mainly characterized by lack of sleep.

Symptoms:
-Short temper
-Irritability
-Hunger for fast food
-Sleepiness

Remedy:
-Understanding parents and siblings, who become lenient in the mornings and nights especially to the irritability of the student in question
-Plenty of food
-Good music
-Occasional naps throughout the school day

Ultimate Cure:
A fantastic show by the end of tech.

Let's be on the dot.

Some updates:
-Music video entry for Mike Lombardo's contest will be posted on Friday
-Might post some informational vids (both for funsies and for school projects)
-New song should be posted this weekend
-Man of La Mancha opens next Thursday (I'm in the Thurs and Sat cast)

Books I'm reading:
-Lord of the Flies (Golding)
-Don Quixote (Cervantes)

Sleep I've gotten:
Too minuscule to take into account.

Hope this was mildly readable. Much too tired, what with focusing on filming vids for YouTube.

Ciao.

Let's find. (Like Hufflepuffs!)

Today, my school had a used book sale. Now of course, you browse through and find countless boring romances, books about pregnancy, plenty of travel books, too many cooking books, and the odd Hardy Boys or Box Car Children. But if you dig close enough, you might find a gem. The gem I found was Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. Coincidentally, the spring musical I'm part of is Man of La Mancha, which is a wonderful musical based off the book Don Quixote. It's times like these that you wonder why that particular book was essentially thrown away by it's previous owner. A text such as this, that is choc full of wonderful imagery, words that I didn't even know existed, and eloquent sonnets woven in with the thrilling, yet politically relevant story line. Why on earth didn't the original owner keep it? Perhaps because it's 1050 pages long, or maybe because the cover was a little too uninteresting. To me, books are essential to human life. Books, no matter how terrible (cough cough Twilight) some are, expose us to different places, circumstances, and people, and teach us about human nature. And besides, someone put their time and effort into creating something they want people to read and remember, so every book should be respected. And realistically, is there anything better than curling up on the couch with a cup of tea and a good book? I'm tired, so I'm going to go read some more of Don Quixote and go to bed. (:

Let's not forget.

BEDA day 18. Failed. I'm so very sorry. I shall now sit in shame while I type my 19th day's post.

Let's dance.

So as some of you may be aware of, Mike Lombardo is holding a contest for a new music video for his song, Caroline. For info on how to enter the contest, click here. Anyway, I was thinking about submitting one. Problem is, I would have to tape it and edit it in one day, Good Friday, as that is the only day I have time to do such a film extravaganza. One of the rules in the contest is that it has to be a dance video. I'm thinking tap, since that's the only kind of dance I'm relatively good at. Anywho, I'll be up in Wisconsin, so I'll most likely film some tap all around Lake Geneva, in random places. Should be interesting. Well, it seems I am once again taking a lazy day blog post. So sorry, dear fellows. Too bad. Deal with it. Nighty night!

Let's be lazy once again.

Another lazy post. I'm dreadfully sorry for the excess of boring posts. I shall entertain you once more by...hm...seem's I've used up all my backup plans.. well.. this is awkward. I'll make it less awkward by looking at you funny 0.o

Best,
Helen.
