END


three hundred and sixty-five.

Well, here it is. My final picture.
Looking back on the past year, and this project, most people do it to improve their photo skill. I wish I had the time to have done that through this. But I am happy with how it all turned out. It was a big year for me. Senior show, graduation, becoming an "adult," moving to St. Peter, college. This project became more of a way of documenting that year and its nice to have a way to look back on it all. I had no idea what to do for a picture today, but I kinda like this one. Its a pretty good representation of the friends I have here, odd, quirky, weird. Amazing. So I figured I would end with a picture of them (most of them). This way, you kinda know what I will be doing for the rest of my life (or until I decide to do another blog). I'll be with these crazy kids. That is, when I'm not in the theatre. Which I am now. And therefore I should focus... it is a rehearsal and all.

Signing off

Two


#(yes, I failed AGAIN. Even on my "recount" yesterday should have been 363) THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR.

I checked my mail today, and this was the only thing in there. Its my invite to our Mafia party next weekend. You have no idea how excited I am to dress up like Al Pacino. Its gonna be an awesome time. And look at this. You even get a semi-decent picture out of the deal. I have NO IDEA what I'm gonna do for tomorrows picture... wish me luck.

Three


#whatever.. the count is off. Technically this should be 362, so I'm going with that.

Sorry for the boring picture. After a full day of class, going straight from class to dinner, then from dinner to rehearsal till ten I didn't have much homework time. So here is a shot of me scrambling to get some Stats for Econ/Management done. (I didn't. Luckily it's not due till Wednesday).
Better picture tomorrow. Promise.

ADVENTURE!

As the last weekend for my blog, this one pretty much rocked.
I'm still puzzled on the counting thing because I started last year March 10th, yet as far as my counting goes I will have only done 361 pictures. So I think I miscounted. But I'm stopping Wednesday either way...
only 3 more. CRAZY.

Today was such an adventure. Started out with breakfast at BC's house with him and AC. French toast. SO GOOD. Then AP, JC, and NG picked me up from his house to go to HK's ice show in New Ulm. She is AMAZING at skating. Don't let her tell you anything different. On our way back we decided to stop and see Hermann the German (pictured above with J) and we got one of the best quotes of the day. J: "So is Hermann Norwegian or something..." A:"Hes German you idiot" and yes, this was legit. Not sarcastic. We also stopped at J drive because it was a street with J's name. So we took pictures there. Then we got back to GAC, went to dinner, and then I went to AB's building with costume shop people and a few others to watch the Oscars. All in all an awesomely fun filled day.

I call today BB and LG(thats me)'s day of theatre fun. We met at our theatre around 11:30. Drove to B's house to eat some amazing cookies. Then went to Urinetown at Normandale to compare it to ours. (Ours was better if you ask me. And no, I'm not being biased). Went back to B's for a delicious home cooked dinner. Then went to Far Away at Hamline (again, to compare, and again, ours was better). Then we drove back to St. Peter while belting Urinetown songs and select others. It was such a fun day.


#356
Chill Friday. Had dinner with the girls (MC and HD pictured here). They all went to LineUs while I went to Arabian rehearsal. After rehearsal I went to BB's house with a good portion of the cast (and others) for a scattregories night. So much fun.

And exhale.

Busiest 5 days ever. I feel like I say that a lot. But it really was. Here is the past (almost) week.
p.s. for some reason I feel like this isn't adding up right... I think I missed counting somewhere...
technically I only have ONE MORE WEEK.


#355
So both Tonka and Gustavus were playing HUGE hockey games last night. Tonka won 7-2. GAC lost 1-2 in overtime. We had a gold out and EAR was most definitely gold. I got past all my tests and papers today and therefore I can breathe again. Yay!


#354
Crazy how in one day the stage can go from Urinetown to Arabian Nights. Yes, I know this is two days later... but the stage looked like this on Monday too. I just forgot to take a picture of it.


#353
So, I was doing homework, and these guys walked by. Freaked me out a little bit. But kinda awesome at the same time. Arabian started today. Its gonna be SO. AWESOME. I can't even tell you.


#352
Closing Day. So sad. The troop from Tonka came to see the show. It was good to see them all. Then we did strike and had one final dinner together in the caf as a cast (and crew...) Here is BE and myself.


#351
PROM!! We had our cast party tonight. It was prom themed. And the theme of the prom was "toxic" complete with green lime sherbert, a green carpet (as opposed to a red carpet), and a dry ice fountain. It was AWESOME. Also, my section saw the show tonight. I was glad they all liked it. Here are BB and KB "doing experiments" at the photo spot. Nicest two people you will ever meet.


#350
Photo call for Urinetown! I got some awesome pictures (at least I think so...). It was an intense show BB (the cop on the left) got hit with his mag light, started gushing blood onstage. Luckily it was right before intermission so we got him cleaned up then he finished the show, and photo call, and went to the hospital to get 5 stitches above his eye. What a trooper.

While wandering around the theatre today I found the blueprints of our theatre. I also found the blueprints of St. Olaf theatre. So now I can always creep on KN. =] Also, pick up rehearsal today.. most interesting moments of my life. So. Much. Fun.
