Honestly, these past two days have been deserving of their own blog posts each. I wish I hadn't been putting this off/forgetting! It would make the stories so much more effective.
Alas, what's done is done. I'll do my best.
It was odd, Thursday. Missing a day of class made me feel like it was the weekend... I mean, technically college weekends often do start on Thursdays, but there are still things to do!
I had an audition for a film, for starters. I did ok, but I'm still glad I auditioned. My Text Studies class was really fun too!! We're now reading Lysistrata, which is pretty baudy for a Greek play. There are innuendos all throughout, and my professor seemed to take a lot of joy out of getting to discuss all the themes and humor with us... as well as pointing out all the innuendos. He does it in a really funny, almost child-like way though that makes it all the more hilarious. He was also telling us how Greek plays, and this one in particular, was written by a man and performed by men (dressed as women) for men. Lysistrata is very focused on feminist power, but in a satirical way. It's a lot easier to get across the generalities and ridiculousness in which the men at the time saw the women at the time when you have men read the lines of the women as though they were the women. How'd I find this out? We had boys in the class do a reading of a part in the script. I've never laughed so hard in that class!!!
But yeah, the rest of the day I went back to feeling down. Went to CVS, practiced for another audition, and then found out that my Spanish class got canceled! So that gave me a lot more free time to practice for the audition as well as write a little bit.
This audition was later that evening for "Merrily we Roll Along." I did pretty well, though I ended up not getting a callback. It made me happier and more energetic, at the least, so I decided to go to InterVarsity.
IV is wonderful. The community and closeness of the people, in my opinion, is the closest I've ever seen modeled after the book of Acts. Churches all over want to reach that level, but IV is pretty darn close. I made some new friends, and was really challenged by the talk that was given, but what was most important was I got to pray for everyone back home and be prayed for. One of my friends at IV, Paulina, had also lost a friend recently. We sat together and prayed and talked and grieved together for a while. It was really comforting.
That was probably the highlight of my day: being with my family in Christ <3
You know, I'm just going to write several posts today about each different day. It's time to leave for the game! (I'm writing this on Saturday... :))
Fight on til then!
