OH Hai. Is me.
Yeah, I've been a real bad Dwellar lately. I've been lurking, but, not posting... Chalk it up to the girlfriend and the school and the college search and everything.
I got into Bennington! I think that's where I'm going if we can find a way to afford it.
I'm directing another play the first week of May. That's my third.
And, I turn 18 in... eight days! Hooray!
(psst. I'm very much considering giving you all a very nice 18th birthday present from me. Well, you ladies at least. and shel. winkwinknudgenudge. or is that frowned upon? it'll be tasteful i promise.)
Miss you guys terribly. Well, most of you. Some of you... not so much.
:lol:
Good work Ib! I'm excited for you going to college: you will thrive. You better keep in touch and let us know how things are going, and some of us can relive those good old days, vicariously.
Miss you guys terribly.
So stick around!
I try! But life keeps getting in the way.
I'm so not gonna do anything this spring break, and chloe's in las vegas for the week (SO jealous.), so I'll definitely have the time this next week or so, though. I'll try to be around more.
Glad to see you're back, Ibram.
And now I see that I can add a WHOLE LOT to my sig-line.
[evil laugh]BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!![/evil laugh]
Congrats on the college Ib, I hope that works out for ya.
8 days until... Muahahahahahaha!!!!!!
And I'll have a present for YOU too. It will be up to you if it's "wrapped" or not. :D
Glad to hear the college and the girlfriend are both working out well. Keep up the good work!
Your girlfriend is deadly with the charcoal. Nice portrait in the RFN thread.
Congratulations Ibby! Glad things are going well. :)
Oy, what hath Cellar wrought. :unsure:
It YOU! OMGOMGOMG *can't contain excitement*
Thanks for the super-duper comment on my hair in the RFN thread.:blush:
Congrats on the school, and the new play. Good to hear that things are working out with the g/f, sounds like a fun time. Too bad those things keep you away from us, if I was a different kinda gal I might be jealous.
I'm so excited about your 18th, and our possible present. Hmm I'm already imagining what'll be like....
*Rowr!*
Got accepted to EMERSON COLLEGE, and as a theatre arts non-performing focus major too. WOOHOO!
Now I just need to decide between Emerson's better theatre program and Bennington's better atmosphere and community.
Bennington: 2 females for every 1 male
Emerson: 7 females for every 6 males
O I forgot this doesn't matter so much to you
Off-hand I'd say go with the better atmosphere and community. Makes more sense, to me anyway, since as a theater major you will be constantly interacting with your colleagues. I don't take you for the type that would have trouble making news friends though.
You only get to do college once - speaking from experience, I say go for atmosphere - mine had none, and I truly regret that decision.
You only get to do college once
Not really. I know lots of people killing themselves by degrees. :D
But you're mostly right, you seldom do the whole dorm thing later in life.
Okay Dar, true dat. Professional Students have been a large section of my demographic. (Had parents who could support their habit.) I had the choice of a large well known uni with football and cheerleaders and sororities, etc. or the smaller lesser-known campus where my Olde English classes had only 30-35 students - I opted for being attended to rather than popular.
I picked the geek university, where I was one of the more *normal* people on campus -- and waddyaknow, I'm popular! (See: cyberbully thread for why this is a surprise.)
I vote for atmosphere too, because the thing no one tells you about college is it is your first crash-course in real networking, especially in fields like the arts. These are the people who will bring all their friends onto a project when one of them gets a lucky break.
Depends how serious you are about going into the arts afterwards, and to what extent Emerson is more connected to that field. Also, depends how much difference there is in atmosphere. I mean, if one is academically excellent but likely to leave you feeling isolated and the other looks fun and inclusive then go with fun and inclusive...But if both look fun and one just looks a little more fun than the other, then I'd seriously take into account quality of programme.
