November - Finals
I tried to video tape it, but I didn't make the realization that even though I couldn't feel the wind, my camera could! You'll hear me talk in the vid, but sometimes I get cut out by the wind :P
- I was accepted out of 67 applicants
- Transportation, housing, and food are all accomodated for
- I report in on June 26 and am released July 24
- The actual show dates are July 10, 11, 14-18
- It's a free show *hint hint* ;) Plus it's nearby a lot of church history sites (Joseph Smith farm, Sacred Grove, and the Hill Cumorah to name a few!)
- Once there, our team of 26 divides into a light crew and a stage crew
- I'm not sure what I'll choose at this point, but I'm leaning towards the stage crew
I'm planning on getting mission interviews and other such business done after I get home late-April through when I have to leave for Hill Cumorah. I'll turn in my papers before I go and then get ready to leave for my mission after I get back. Unfortunately, I'll be coming home in April a little earlier than I had hoped. I was planning on watching the Wicked broadway show in April before I came home. I got on the website THE minute that the tickets went on sale. I attempted to purchase tickets like 12 times before I decided to wait like a half hour. They closed the website when I checked again because they were so overflowed that they couldn't handle it. By the time I finally got around to calling them 4 hours after initial sale time, the tickets had sold out FOR EVERY SHOW IN THE MONTH OF APRIL (there's a show at least every night of the month)!!! I was a little depressed about it, but I guess I have to move on now............darn.....
Well, I think I've satisfied everyone's curiosities about my life, I'm off to go study for finals :) Hope everyone is doing better than I am right now (actually I'm willing to bet many of you are ;) it's ok though, it's snowing right now and I'll be done and home on Thursday!)

The Ungrateful Ones
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these [words] did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;"

Here's my dorm complex (mine is the right of the 2 that are parallel and oriented horizontally to the right of the small white building (the new Cannon Center) in the middle-left of the picture):
