we finally read through the entire play. we've been doing table work on an act a day for the last three days. it's amazing how much more are in some plays than you ever expect. i think as college theatre artists we tend to write off older plays as dated and beneath our experimental geniuses. that idea is misguided. there's a lot in miracle worker, a lot that can be mined and challenging for actors. don't write it off yet.
furthermore, how refreshing it is to work with a director who treats each of his actors equally. i feel and, i believe, everyone feels equally appreciated in the cast. it is a weird sensation to feel this way considering previous experiences. i think i'm going to like this show.

the first day of the last quarter of my undergraduate career came and went without much hype. i suppose it was because i was fighting off a significant cold that i didn't fully comprehend the weight of this last day. it might hit me next week when i am fully functioning once again.

it is the season of denials in the admissions office. so far in my time in the office i have only had to field two denial calls; one of those calls was today. it is a devastating experience to listen to some stories and just wish there was something that i, personally, could do. but i can't.

TGIF tomorrow.
