Relay for Life

I am doing Relay for Life with my Kappa Phi sisters, and I would appreciate so much if any of you feel led to donate to our cause! We are the Christian sorority here at OCU, and we are so excited for this event! I have never done Relay for Life before, so this is new to me!

You should be able to access my site and donate online at this address:

I would appreciate it so much!

Mozart this time

So, I will be performing in the ensemble of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro in February! I'm pretty excited because a lot of my really good friends are in the show, too! And I love Mozart!

In other news, one of our seniors just got cast as the Elphaba replacement in whichever production of Wicked (Broadway or tours) needs one first!!

And I'll be home in 13 days, Lord willing!

Well.

Well crap.

Too Many Sopranos!

Meet the Divas!

Why only me?

I was having a conversation with some friends this week who are all Obama supporters (like everyone at school). I decided to be brave and said, "Sarah Palin is awesome!" And they all gave me dirty looks, and I said, jokingly, "See, I can express my opinion and none of y'all hurt me, because I'm nice!" And one of my friends who is extremely caustic towards conservatives in general conversation (again, like everyone at school) said, "Yeah, that's why we're still friends, because you're nice about expressing your opinions."

I didn't say it, but I definitely thought it....why is it that I have to be nice about expressing my opinions, but those who are verbally hateful towards conservatives don't? Why am I still happy to be friends with you when you openly sabotage my beliefs while your requirement for friendship with me is that I express mine kindly?

News flash

News on Sonja! Okay, so last week I had the shingles. It was not fun. They are going away now, but they still hurt (strangely enough). Who knew there were so many fun new things to experience at college!

Also, I got a lead role in the opera that performs October 24-26. :-O Kind of hard to believe, and I have to keep saying to actually believe that it's true. We start rehearsals a little next week, but full tilt starting the 22nd of September. So five weeks of no life, a show, and then it'll be more than halfway through the semester!

That's just about all that is up with me right now!

First Monday Back

Well, here I am, back in Oklahoma. And I have an apartment this year, and it's so nice!! I have my own room and bathroom, and a decent sized living room and kitchen with just one apartment-mate. It's super nice, and I really love it. It's quiet, but it's a good kind of quiet to come to after a crazy day of classes. Plus I have lots of friends on campus, too, so I can always go visit them. We had auditions for Footloose this evening, and it went decently well. There's no way I'll get a callback, but that's fine, because I don't care too much about that show. :-) Tomorrow evening is theatre auditions, then Wednesday choreography show. I think this coming Monday is opera auditions. Anyway, this is the week we all look forward to, right? Not so much. It'll be over soon, though.
