AHHHHHHHHHHH, SO it’s the end of the semester and I’m in the RA office right now helping people check out and GO HOME!!!!
Everyone’s leaving and it’s actually kind of sad because it’s a reminder of how fast this year went. I really can not believe that I’m going to be a senior when I return for my last fall semester. Time goes by so fast. Have fun kids because before you know it, you’ll be getting ready to graduate and move on from New Paltz.
This was such a great year for me and I really don’t know how to sum it up in words. So……… I’m not. I did a lot though; I met a lot of new people who have definitely impacted me in many ways; and I had a lot of fun along the way.
I’m looking forward to this summer though. As I mentioned, I’m going to NACURH which is being held in Arizona. I hope I don’t get the swine while I’m there because a week after that I’m going to Disney with Tarah for 11 Days. Then after that I need to find a job for a bit, go to the beach and Montauk a lot, and get really really tan.
So, with that said, enjoy your summer vacation!!! I hope that you were able to get a little taste of New Paltz from my blogs. If not, then I hope you just laughed a little bit from my weirdness. Good luck to all of you new, incoming New Paltz students!
Well, you read right, this is my thirty fourth post this year (woo-hoo!) And as I reflect on this year I am totally amazed (again) in how fast ten months can go by. It is already May 8th (by the way my Twenteith birthday is tomorrow at 7:21 AM!!!) and I will be leaving Esopus Hall and Sophomore year in about a week. I really intend to post an additional post before the year’s end, because this really is fun. As a blogger, you never really know if many people are reading your posts, but with some confirmation and encouraging I feel very accomplished as a NP Blogger.
Let’s be real for a second: it’s a lot of attention, and I’m not an “attention prostitute” of sorts, but the occasional spotlight is nice! I have had the opportunity to write my mind, post pictures, and video (the best part was the video blogs -love them!) but also make people laugh. My objective as a NP Blogger, as for all bloggers of my kind, is to promote the school I love to prospective students, and in being myself and fostering laughs, I feel I have done my job.
I have just got wind of who will be next year’s bloggers -NO I’M NOT TELLING YOU, IT’S A SECRET!- and i’m sure that group will have a fantastic time doing the same.
So I just had my stage combat final and I took some video and a couple of pics, so I thought I’d share PRONTO!
I didn’t get to tape ALL of them, but I got a lof of em! YAY! I did not however, get our salute in the beginning which is really funny. My pal Lauren Kennedy taped it, and once she slaps it on youtube I’ll make sure you’re the FIRST to know!
So here’s Andrea Green and I…XENA AND GABRIELLE! It actually turned out pretty good!
Here’s some other clips from the class as well! Take a gander and get ready to have your side split!
AND our final salute out…after our final is over! This is the last time we’re using broad swords… No more Xena, no more Link from Zelda…or any other cool character with a sword….
What’s cookin? Well this week was quite the hill to get over…and why am I talking in past tense? This week is still here, kickin’ my beeeee-hind!! It’s just paper, research paper, project, research paper, test, extra credit due….one after another…LORDY! It’s all due on Monday….
So as you can see, it’s been sorta busy over here for many SUNY New Paltzians…everyone’s trying to get those last papers done before all those finals sneak upon us! BAH!
But ya know what? A lot of joyous things have been occuring as well! A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, which is run by Miami Theatre players, is going on tomorrow and Sunday at 8pm in McKenna Theatre. There is also I love you, You’re Perfect, Now Change, going on through various residence halls until Sunday at 8pm. Tomorrow (Fri) I have my stage combat final with my partner in crime, Andrea Green. We’re doing a skit as if we were Xena and Gabrielle…it should be interesting. We’ve been practicing with broad swords on Andrea’s front lawn while people walk by on the sidewalk. We have a good ole’ time laughing and making Xena warrior cries. Thank god shrubbery in the front of her house shields us from some of the spectators. :-p
I have the darker hair of the 2 of us, so I was chosen to be Xena. I hope to do her justice, since well, she’s pretty bad-ass! I tried doing that Lucy Lawless stare, but I just don’t have the eyes, or the bangs, or the hottness that comes along with Xena, Warrior Princess.
While coming across some research, I found the Xena warrior cry!!! Check it!
I hope to put a video up here of us. Again, remember, we are beginners learning the craft of stage combat, so cut us some slack if we aren’t picture perfect. AIIIIGHT?
OH OH and The Sexy Pitches all female a cappella group are having an invitational Benefit for New Paltz for Nicaragua. We’re having Vocal Synergy, an all girl group form Wagner and Male Call, an all guy group that just started up here in New Paltz!
Here’s all us Pitches, giving you a wave hello and hoping to see you Friday!! We’re in 115 College Hall (Nadia & Shepard Recital Hall) @ 7PM!
Also, later that night, Midnight Theatre is taking place in Parker Theatre! Relay for Life is this Saturday, which is always a grand event full of entertainment, good eatin’s and activities!! Also, Saturday I’m heading to Albany to visit my bro and see/hear/love his a cappella concert!
So lots and lots to do and see!! It’s kinda rough, because I know myself, and I want to be involved in everything and to support everything! However, it just ain’t possible, now is it? So pick and choose what you can do ladies and gents, while managing your time with those lovely papers! HA!
Therefore, I hope everyone hits the books, but at the same time, take a break from studying and have some fun! There’s loads to do this weekend, and the week coming up! I’ll try to keep you posted. I apologize for lacking in my postings lately. Normally I’m an animal about it. However, it’s just been a little crazy!
P.S. Congratulations for the NEW New Paltz Bloggers! There will be 6 next year, coming at ya with exciting events that New Paltz has to offer!
Alright gang, I must tooda-loo for now! I hope to keep ya updated with awesome pics, videos and stories! However, papers must be done first…alas.
Nighty night! Sweet dreams! And congrats again NEW Np Bloggers!
No more Xena, no more Link from Zelda…or any other cool character with a sword….
