hello hello again!
ok so as you all can tell i'm not very consisting with the whole updating thing hehe. i've been meaning to post about Rent, the musical, but i kept forgetting lol.ok so newayz: on March 12 calvin and i went to watch "Rent" (sorry no pics. I was reallt excited about this cuz it won some awards and so many people absolutely loved it. i'm not sure if maybe i went in with my expectations too high, but i definetly came out utterly disappointed. the storyline/plot was not presented very well, there were a lot of things that weren't explained/potrayed very well. the most disappointing thing about the whole musical was the music itself. the songs weren't very catchy, and the vocals! *sigh* the vocals were just AVERAGE, i mean they weren't terrible or out of tune obviously, but they weren't consistent. for example: this one guy sang in the beginning and i was impressed, well compared to the other actors/singers at least, but when he did his second solo he cracked at least 3 times and went FLAT once. and anyone who ATTEMPTED to sing soprano always fell short, because for one thing they weren't even singing they were screaming. i waited the entire night for the soprano singer, the girl who would take me breath away, send chills down my spine, but she never came...well some girl tried but it wasn't very good. back when i was in High school i watched a girl perform the "Seasons of Love" song at York Mills Collegiate and i was more impressed by her performance than the girl in Rent.
Oh well what can you do? i'm not saying it was a terrible musical, it just wasn't memorable. I think Mamma Mia was much better! sorry to anyone who is reading this and LOVED Rent, it's just my opinion, i don't want to sound like i'm speaking with any kind of authority on the subject.
for some more recent news:
April means:
1)school's almost out! ahhhh that only means exams are right around the corner eek! i was in the ITV room at school catching up on some Shakespeare classes that i missed, and i deecided to make a list of all the ones i missed so i could keep track and make sure i watch all of them. yeah...let's just say an hour class here and an hour class there can really ADD UP :/ well mine added up to 35hours! oh deary me! all i can say is, i'll be spending A LOT of time in that ITV room over the next couple of weeks, 35 hours of time to be exact! basically means i missed 35 classes over the entire school year (Sept-April NOT Jan-April lol)
2)that it's time for me to plan where i'm gonna live next year and how i'm gonna move all my stuff back home. gotta figure out a way of getting my QUEEN size bed either into storage here in OT or back home in TO. plus i've gotta move my sofa set also, oh dear me! have no idea what i'm gonna do about where i'm gonna live next school year; didn't get into residence (crap), so i need to decide if i'm gonna live with 3 other girls from church or live on my own OR wait to see if i get residence later on since i'm on waitlist. it's unbelivable how stressful this all is, sometimes i'm more stressed out about all this stuff than i am about school!
3)summer is a month away. and usually this comes as a relief, but this year it just brings more uncertainty. i've gotta plan for summer school, talk to the registrar's office about taking a course "tapes to you" so i can stay in TO. this is my first itme taking summer school so i'm NOT looking forward to it. summer also means that i've gotta find a job. this is also sort of a first for me because every other year i worked for the City of Toronto: Parks and Rec, so i never had to reapply since it was guaranteed every year.
AHHHHH SOO MUCH TO DO! but it's all good, no stressing out, cuz that's just not my stlye. stressing out just makes me more stressed out, so i just gotta make sure to take things one at a time, tackle things as they come up, focus on the here and now and let tomorrow worry about itself.
well that's it for now, gotta get back to editing my essay.
see you again in a month or so haha.
btw: if you made it this far without falling asleep, kudos to you! lol ;)
