and...

BLAM - the semester is OVER. and i am living in Richmond, VA for the summer. whoa. on top of it all, i only have two semesters left at freed - officially. i'm actually *this close* to finishing school and becoming a non-college student, WITH a degree. =D

may i just say that the state of virginia is gorgeous?? i am in LOVE with it. i am settled into my little flat, and relaxing with a glass of italian soda (blood orange) bought at the most amazing grocery store, and marvelling at the prospects before me. i'm living in a CITY, a big historic rambling beautiful old city - one that is four hundred years old and full of museums and art galleries and pretty pretty parks and stores and streets and ... i like virginia. i feel steeped in all sorts of history and art and ... coolness now.

so the big question rolling around in my head these days is this: what am i going to direct as my senior play next year. these are my top three:

- Hedda Gabler (Henrik Ibsen)
- Endgame (Samuel Beckett)
- A Doll's House (also Ibsen)

cliff got my hopes up earlier this semester when he said we could have "a conversation" about directing Mother Courage and Her Children - an amazing play by Bertolt Brecht - but alas, all it was WAS a conversation. so now i'm a little scribbly, trying to nail something down that i love and can DO at freed-hardeman. pleh. we shall see.
