May the 4th be with you!!!
As a self-proclaimed dork, I find a lot of pleasure in celebrating today and the franchise it commemorates. Although I am not an avid fan, nor can I claim to know any extensive details about the Star Wars universe, I am proud to say I am still a fan. It's really fun to have a whole day dedicated to a movie (or 3... or 6).
Although, I didn't do much today to specifically celebrate the movies. I got up fairly late, talked with my mom, got homework done, rehearsed a scene with my scene partner, wasted a bit of time (again!), talked with Ashley, and started planning out my Study Week. Yeah. Yay.
But the new thing I did today was see a new play I've never heard of before until today!!!
Remember how Kapil, Jake, and I went to see "The Petrified Forest" last week? We decided to reprise our adventures!!! Kapil came up with the idea to go see "Fat Pig," a play in Hollywood, since it was really popular when it came out originally and I guess it sounded good! Anyways, Jake and I were both in on it! We didn't get food afterwards (just before, in a little cafe), but we still had a ton of fun!! At least, I did!!!
I love how we've formed a little theater seeing group now, the three of us. I hope this continues!!!
The play itself was thought provoking, funny, and still sad. It's about a man named Tom who starts a relationship with Helen, a very plus-sized woman, and all his colleagues put him through because of it. To me, it sends an important message about the harm that comes from judging others, as well as society's expectations and inner thoughts as a whole about people different than us. But mostly about judgment, I think. The problems of the play could totally have been avoided if it weren't for the harsh judgment and ridicule that came to Tom just because of his decisions.
The actors were all very strong! I particularly enjoyed the actor who played Carter, Tom's friend, if not a total a-hole. He put a lot of surprising complexity to the character, and make him a likable antagonist.
Anyways, Kapil was pretty tired, so Jake drove us back to SC. Since I came back, I've just been trying to plan things out. In particular, this week. Maybe the summer too... we'll see.
I'm just kicking myself right now. It's 12:30, and I could have totally gone to bed earlier. But I didn't because I was hungry, and now I can't sleep for a while because that wouldn't be healthy... Drats.... What am I going to do with myself? I could really use some better habits. Really. I need a habit transformation or something. Snacking late at night, staying up late, procrastinating... What am I going to do with myself? You think I'd have this figured out by now... Maybe by the end of this summer I'll get that taken care of... Whatever.
These next few days will be fairly slow, unless some super exciting things come hurtling out of the blue. I'll let you know, though things might actually be more exciting if I group days together at this point.
Fight on, friends!!
