Last time I blogged, I was on my way home from Natchitoches. The day after (Sunday), I saw High School Musical 3. I have to admit, it was pretty good. The choreography was amazing, and the singing was pretty good too. Then I had to prepare for MTO's Halloween-themed Underground performance. I have to say, we were DAMN GOOD. I think all of the songs are on YouTube HERE. Check them out. One of the many highlights from that night was Time Warp (I don't think it's on YouTube for some reason, but it is on Facebook!). In the middle of the song, I stripped off my big leather jacket to reveal my tight jazz pants and mesh shirt. That is huge for me. People who were there were crazy surprised to see me do that. I can confidently say that that was definitely the top highlight of the night (besides the amazing singing).
Skip to Halloween! I got to see Monique for like an hour because she needed my help and she wanted to see me because she missed me (and I miss her). So, our original plans for that night were to go to House of Shock, meet up at Loyola after, and go downtown to Bourbon and Frenchman. Somehow, our plans were destroyed. But we made it work (Tim Gunn, anyone?). Blythe, Kaleb, Katie, and I ended up going to House of Shock. Katie was dressed up as a she-devil on the DL, Blythe was a bunny, Kaleb was Aladdin, and I was a dead raver (my way of wearing the mesh shirt and glow sticks without looking stupid). We were pretty cool. After HoS, Katie, Blythe, and I tried going downtown. We tried parking for like 20-30 minutes with no luck, so we gave up and went back to Loyola. We chilled in my dorm for like 10 minutes, then crashed. The next day, I worked on my paper for 4 hours and only got 2 of the pages 10 done. Then, Casi & Katie cooked in the tiny dorm floor kitchen. It was SOO GOOD. Later that night, we went to an Improv show, which was hilarious. They used like 3 or 4 of the quotes we gave, like "Let me see that thong" and "Gimme your hand, bitch!" What a good day. Oh yea! After, we went to Tucks. It was alright. Sketchy and full of people. I have to say, I love it when Casi is drunk. She's funny to watch. Hahaha. The next day (Monday), I found out the 10 page paper I was supposed to finish by that Wednesday was not actually due til the end of the month! What a fucking relief!!
Then this past Wednesday, some of the Loyola vocal students (including me) went to NATS, which is a vocal competition. Blythe and I made it through to semi-finals with most of the Loyola group, and 3 of the Loyola people placed in the finals. Props to them. Good times were had, even if we were in Natchitoches, LA where everything closes at 10PM, except for the 24/7 Walmart. Thursday (the 1st night) we went to Walmart for dinner because everything else was closed. It was a good choice. We got some good food. Friday after we found out who made it to the final round and after some delicious Pizza Hut, one of the Loyola hotel rooms had a small party. That was the highlight of the trip. Fun stories came from that night that you wouldn't really understand unless you were there or if I took the time to explain it, which I am not.
Now we are on to the present day. After todays classes and a rehearsal for the MTO Recital Hour performance (which is this Thursday during the Loyola "window"), I finally have the chance to rest. I don't really have anything to do. No real homework, no papers that I HAVE to work on. I finally have a chance to chill. I love it. And this is what I spend my free time doing, blogging. Feel good about yourself.
Something to look forward to: Loyola University Chorus Concert Thursday night @ 7:30PM in Loyola's Rousell Hall. I thought there was more, but there isn't. Sorry.
Umm... earlier, I thought I had something I wanted to write about, but I'm too tired from remembering what has happened these past 2 weeks. Maybe the next blog will be about that. Tomorrow afternoon shouldn't be busy either. Well, except for MTO Recital Hour rehearsal. Whatever. Maybe you'll get lucky, and I'll write another blog. Only time will tell...
Like my cliff hanger?
