Well... Academically things aren't going well... I have a paper I need to starting writing in English class and I don't even have a topic yet... It's a problem/solution essay...

Creatively things are going great! In theatre class were writing our own children play and I'm one of the playwrights. The only bad part is I have until Tuesday to write one scene and the intro and conclusion of the entire play. I'm sure I can do if I sit down and just start writing... It supposed to start out with a King and Queen and a Jester. They talk and it's the kings birthday and the jester's present is three scenes about live as a kid... My scene is about sibling rivarly... And if you know me, you'll know how EASY this will be since I have not only nine brothers and sisters but a twin as well. I don't know how it will turn out because I haven't thought about it that much yet, but hopefully I can finish it by Tuesday...

In other news, I'VE STARTED MY NEXT PLAY! It's the sequel to my first play, "Reckless Ballet or Instant Animosity". It doesn't have a title yet but everyone that survived the first play are included come back for repeat performances. The nurse plays a much bigger role in this one. Nick is now the Doctor in charge of patients and is having trouble living up to his dead predessor. Shortly after the beginning of the play a new patient arrives and Nick gets the feeling that... Certain events are going to occur once again and tries to stop these events from happening... I don't want to say anymore but it will include many more scripted (and funny) patient interactions with... SUB-PLOTS! This is a great addition since my first play had no sub-plots at all...

Well... Yesterday, (wednesday) was the holloween dance here at Commons and let me say that it went less than great. I spent weeks working on my costume, planning, assembling, and hot-glueing... I'll tell you what is was becuase I won't ever be wearing it again. I was an anime character, one that I made up myself. His name was Ryosuske, and he spoke only in japanese... (side story: while I was there I told that to someone and they said, "well I guess you fail" becuase I wasn't speaking Japanese at the time. THINK ABOUT IT! How can I explain that my character only speaks japanese... IF YOU CAN"T UNDERSTAND ME!?) Back to the outfit. I made sleeves and wore a black wife-beater with my leather vest. At the party there was a costume contest I didn't make it past the first round. These people have no concept of originality. They voted people dressed as COWS all the way tot he third round! I was appalled... As for the holloween dance, I don't want to give anything away as to what I'm wearing, but let me just say that and old favorite will be making a comeback...
