Rent!

Well, it’s last semester senior year, and I’m trying to cram it with as many things as possible before I graduate! Checking things off my Vassar bucket list has been high on my list of priorities. Things left to do: Go to Wednesday night at the observatory, donate blood at the Red Cross-hosted blood-drive, arrange a song for my a cappella group (to name a few!). The one thing that I’m most proud of checking off my list, which was to be in a play. At the beginning of the semester I auditioned for, and have been having an amazing experience in the ensemble of Rent! The show is going up April 17th-19th, and so this upcoming week is going to be absolutely packed with rehearsals. Rent is being organized by The Future Wait-staff of America (FWA), which is the student run musical theater group on campus. My two student directors are incredible, and have put in so much work to organize this whole show (it takes a lot of planning, I’ve discovered!). This has been my first play, so I’ve found it incredibly fun and challenging at the same time.

Other things going on currently have been trying to get all my homework done in advance so I don’t have to worry too much about it next week, as well as organizing Ultimate Frisbee practices, because this upcoming weekend is the start of our college series with D-3 sectionals! If we do well at sectionals, which are in NJ, we can go on to regionals, and then even nationals, which would be incredibly exciting and something the women’s team hasn’t done in a while. Wish us luck!
