Firestorm

So, I'm back to school at Hamline. I'm taking two classes: Stagecraft and Dance II. I haven't had a dance class yet, but it's my understanding that only 4 people are registered at this time. Should be interesting... and then I'm one of 23 people in my stagecraft class... and only the professor is older than I am.

On top of that, I'm starting the Oak-Land drama club. I was given the go-ahead to direct it in the fall, since student teaching in the spring will leave me unavailable. I've finished a rewrite of Midsummer Night's Dream, and Jess started helping me edit it last night... only to find out that it still needs a lot of work. I think it gets better as the show goes along, though. I think I was still trying to find my voice in the first two scenes.

I have auditions today and tomorrow, and I have homework to do besides! I went from having too much time on my hands to not having enough!

By the way, speaking of too much time on my hands, I've been playing this online game called "Gates of Andaron" lately. It's somewhat like Everquest, but MUCH more "do it in this order"-ish. I enjoy it, though, despite there only being three playable races and six character classes. My favorites are Archers and Evocators. Warriors are okay, Priests are lame (though at level 12 they can transform into ravens temporarily!), Magicians die really fast if you're lagging at all, and NightBlades (assassins) aren't nearly as cool as they should be. They're like crappy archers without all of the cool bow abilities.
