Genesis Part 2

Here I am once again.

This will be a fresh start for my blogging, since certain things happened that changed my outlook on life somewhat, leaving me to summon a new page from the depths of nonexistence. Nothing bad happened, mind you, but changes that have hopefully made me a better person in the end.

Once in a while, you have an epiphany about yourself, a realization of something that you knew you were, but didn't have the heart to admit or to actually follow through with in real life. Sometimes it comes with age and, in the case of myself, it comes with the eventual onset of a chapter of your life coming to a close and with the admittance of feelings that you have had all along, but denied because of how odd it must seem to the general population.

When you've known someone for five years, you get to know them pretty well. Especially if you happen to be the main reason they became involved in the fine arts. There's an underlying sense of responsibility and a unique connection between you two, as if you've known each other for longer than five years. Now when I say responsibility, I mean that that person has dedicated themselves to a pursuit in life because of your influence and, as that influential person, you want to see them succeed in their pursuit, as well as bettering yourself day after day in the hopes that you set a positive example. It is a mutual responsibility of equal measure.

So what categorizes this situation, this relationship, as odd? That will have to wait until my French 202 homework is finished. Cliffhangers are the devil's plaything.

With the Educational Theatre Company show's rehearsals more than halfway through, and with two weeks left until the on-campus performances, the cast and crew are in high spirits, which is always uplifting. We've all done some fantastic work for such a long and challenging play for young audiences. With photo calls and tech run throughs coming up in a few days, sustaining that will be essential. I'm sure we can get through this unscathed.

Expect pictures from the show to be posted on this blog in a few days. Until then, it is off to "le monde du Francais."

Au revoir,
