A return to a personal entry.

My mood has signifigantly improved since last week. I finally got some of the overdue work done for Shakespeare, after spending some time in the library on Saturday. If I wind up going home for the summer, as it keeps looking like will happen, I'll be fine...theres some fun people who will be in Baltimore this summer from La Salle, and it won't be the end of the world. So my depression has disappeared for a few more days, or has at least repressed itself further into my mind. Thanks to all who left messages of support; they meant a lot...I was really messed up for a couple of days.

We closed another show last night. "And Then There Were None" was incredibly well recieved, in the press (well, the Collegian) and among everyone I talked to who went to it. I think its the most professional show I've had the opportunity to work on: things just fell into place and got done. The lighting was fantastic (its amazing what 3 years of experience and a little bit of planning coupled with other enthusiastic lighting engineers will do) Nick did an incredible job on the set. Props to Props mistress and crew. The acting was fantastic; people seemed to discover their characters and really inhabit the world that was created when the lights went up every night.

The cast party was fantastic, even though others would probably say otherwise. I got there at 12:30 and stayed until about 3:30, the longest I'd ever stayed at a masque party. What made it nice were the people - it was smaller, mainly just cast, crew and a few alumni. We weren't all jam packed into a basement...Pat's house was nice. I hung out upstairs for a good part of the night talking to people in the sofa and black light room. Highlights: "Road Head: the Musical" (I'll spare you the lyrics), and just a whole bunch of random conversation.

I got a little tipsy and wound up tripping on the stairs to the basement and twisting my ankle. I missed strike today because of that, and because of CAJH fest. I did however ask Katie to the formal, and got a yes. Its gonna be a great party.

CAJHFest was awesome; even better than last year, and the year before. CAJH RSA outdid themselves: we had inflatable stuff - a joust and a climbing wall, a DJ, a dunk tank, and a pie throwing contest at the RA's. They cooked from 12:30 until after I left at 4:30...the food was great and held out forever. I'm leaving off this entry with a picture of Vicki and Jean attacking my RD Kristal while shhe was dancing:

What a crazy day...I mean weekend.
