Wednesday, April 5

Nashville played the blackhawks on Wednesday night. I was sad that I didn't go because Dan Hamhuis scored a goal that night!!
Wednesday was a looong day. I was go, go, go from 7am until 10 at night. No breaks, not even for supper really. We had class, and I don't remember much of what we talked about. We talked about the Seldoms, the contemporary dance group we watched the week before in Arts class. We didn't have practicum group because we didn't have much more to talk about for our presentation Thursday night anyway. We all knew our parts and what we had to research. No biggie.
Again I did my work at the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation. I really like the casual atmosphere. I work closely with Cynthia, a cute Lutheran woman with short brown hair and a big smile. She reminds me of Leanne Reedyk a little bit. She's cool. So we organized a bit for Bike the Drive in May, that's what I'd be planning if I had actually done an internship there, and I also did some inventory of some signs they had in storage. Cynthia mentioned that she'd heard of Dordt before, and she thinks her school might have played Dordt in basketball or something in the same division. She's from around here, and we talk about all the cool stuff I could do when I'm here.

The Glass Menagerie:
"Try? Then you will succeed" the mother wants to share her wise life experience with her kids, but they really had to learn it themselves. She's a hypocrite.
I really liked the set design, simple, modern.
The play was really good, but I tried to focus too hard on staying awake and didn't catch everything. I really like plays, but I'd rather have them makle me feel good at the end and not make me think too hard. Maybe it was just the night that I went. I'm sureI would like it better if I saw it again and was able to follow everything.
I do remember the relationship between Laura and Jim being painful to watch. They skipped around so many things before she started really talking to him. And we knew all those things ahead of time. Their acting together was really great.
Oh yah, and I've seen 2 Zuidhofs in less than a week! Heather at redeemer and Joel at the Glass Menagerie! Weird.
