New Developments

Today I went to my english class, she gave us our assignment, and then dismissed us. Five minutes I was there....
So, I went and got a smoothie and just sat and enjoyed observing the sound of the morning rush of students, the sight of a cloudy morning, and the smell of a full garbage which I happened to be sitting down wind of. So, I moved.
In biology, we were lectured on the scientific method and how to apply it critically to life. His example, the many species of the tiger beadle, which he had studied for 15 years! He is a hard core scientist...I would have killed myself to study a beadle for 15 years!

After that mom came with the sibble and we spent a few hours together. I got my laptop!!!!! And when they left I went off to a meeting.....

THE MEETING:

My acting teacher is a grad student and has a project she is doing.
It is like The Larame Project, which is about the interviews and backstory of a boy in Larame who was murdered because he was gay.
In this case, she took the Amber Hess story ( a girl who graduated from Gilbert High, who was murdered my 2 latinos), and is using the same concept. There were only 4 of us at the meeting, including herself. She told us her vision and said the project is a working process and is open to feedback and changing. She made it seem like those involved would help put it all together. And I believe I am in because she stated, "We will get together again next week, if we can get a few more people to join us great, if it will just be us 4 that is great too."

I think it is safe to say I will be in a play! It will be in the end of November. Also, if she can talk her "bosses" into it, she wants to take it to a few high schools. The only problem being, it is a fairly recent event (summer 07) and it might be too soon to go into high schools with it, because it happened to a high school student. But the message is not to just make a story out of the ordeal, but to rather inform that this does, is and might continue to happen; some cases never being solved (Hess' case was), for all we know many have gone by undetected.

So, we shall see how far the project goes...as for now it will be performed at least once!

I just finished my calc homework, it wasn't bad, I actually (so far) enjoy math. I know I am a geek! But as for the rest of the evening...I will be playing on my laptop!

Bon Appetit!
