Dreams are Wierd

Something really funny happened to me the other morning. Saturday night, I stayed up til about two in the morning just talking with my roommates (that is an odd occurrence for me.) When I finally went to bed, I said that I wasn't going to set my alarm, and just get up whenever I got up. They laughed because I usually get up at 7 on Sundays (which wasn't necessary for this Sunday. We only had sacrament meeting because everyone is gone over the holidays.) They said even without an alarm, I would get up at 7.

Anyway, that night I had a weird dream. In it, one of my friends in the engineering department was a mob crime boss. Apparently I did something to tick him off, and he sent all his croonies to "take care of me." Luckily, I got away in my car. Giving off a sigh of relief, I then felt a hand grab me from the back seat of my car, and that's when I woke up! After settling down, I reassured myself that there was no one hiding under my bed, and that the door was locked. Checking the clock, I saw that it was 7:00 AM exactly. I guess they were right.

It's getting harder and harder to tell these days.

I was sitting in my chemistry class the other day when I look to my right and a few seats down there is a girl with black hair in a pony tail. "Hey, she's kind of cute." I thought to myself. At the end of the class, we took a quiz. This girl finished early and got up to leave. Because I was sitting in the aisle seat, I had to move my feet and backpack so she could go by. When I did that, she smiled, and said in a deep bass voice "Thanks"...

GGGAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

Free Agent Status!

I auditioned for Hale Center Theater this past weekend. I was excited when I got callbacks. I went into callbacks on Monday evening and I had quite the experience there. It was amazing. For starters, I have never been around so many talented singers before in my life. HOLY COW!!! I am incredibly flattered that they would even consider me to be somewhere around that level. Just to give you an idea of the caliber of singers that were there, I sat next to Rigoletto. FREAKING RIGOLETTO!!! That's right, the "You sing like a goat" guy.

Second, I realized that I have a lot to learn about performing, and especially performing under pressure. The nice lady sitting on the other side of me was very kind and would tell me every so often "Relax :D" I was trying to hide it so well too.

In any case, this means I'm a free agent. There are a few other plays I might audition for, and we'll see if I can get into any of those. I have alot of time next semester, so I will try to get into something. If not, I guess I could always... *gasp* DO HOMEWORK!!!

Rock Art part 2

After my lab was done, I started walking from the engineering building to the Institute building. I passed the spot where the tower of rocks had been. They were still there, but they had been slightly altered. :D

Rock Art

So I was walking to the engineering building just now, deep in thought about how I am going to survive finals. The sidewalk to the engineering building has a median of rocks. Big rocks, medium rocks, and little rocks, sissy rocks, rocks that climb on kids... all kinds.

As I was passing, I noticed one big rock had several medium and small rocks very carefully placed on top of it, in an interesting looking tower. There were some grounds keepers doing some work around that area, and one of them saw the rocks, and came over shouting "What the Heck is This?"

Another grounds keeper came up saying "What? You don't like it?"

"Heck no! you're doing it all wrong. You call yourself an artist?

"I thought it was emotionally moving!"

I couldn't help myself. I started laughing out loud! My outlook on the next few weeks has improved dramatically :D
