Coffee is one of those strange things. It’s really not the greatest thing for my throat and voice, especially with performances coming up for “Into the Woods.” But I do have a jolt of energy this morning while I’ve been working at Alumni Relations and sorting through my e-mails, the news, and my Script Analysis homework.
Speaking of the news, Concordia is nearing the end of a two-week pilot of the USA Today’s Collegiate Readership program. (more…)
It’s the middle of the semester (well, past the semester actually). I’m sitting in the middle of an “Into the Woods” rehearsal right now. We open in two weeks! I highly encourage all to attend this unique show. We open Nov. 15 and run through the 18th of Nov. The Thurs, Fri, Sat shows are at 7:30 p.m., and the Sunday show is a 2:00 p.m. matinée.
It’s nearly been a month since I’ve written in this thing, and a lot has happened. (more…)
This is a 30 second commercial I did for the Concordia University-St. Paul Writing Center. The video is shot in a classic 1950s style, with movie reel effects and appropriate audio.
So this summer is absolutely crazy busy. I’ve been having a blast, but it’s been more draining than I would’ve imagined. Most of this is due to the beast that is known as “Oklahoma!” The final show is this afternoon. My call is just over an hour from now, and then it’ll be time to put the cowboy hat and boots away. (more…)
We’re already creeping into Mid-July! I can’t believe it.
Two Things: Harry Potter 7 comes out next week (the movie comes out tomorrow, but I’m not as hyped about that) AND Oklahoma! opens on Friday–the 13th. I’m not too worried. I feel prepared and all. Yes, I even feel prepared to do “authentic Western boot clogging” on stage. You’ll just have to come and witness the spectacle for yourself (mvct.org). (more…)
Caution, this is long, but it’s chock-full of good stuff and hopefully some multi-media if I can figure it all out.
I’m on lunch break at good ol’ Alumni Relations, and my boss allowed me to have some great Pizza Luce leftovers. The pizza is amazing and has some pretty crazy options. Anyway, there are giant artichokes on this particular pizza, and it’s a little too much for me (hence the title of the entry).
But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go to Pizza Luce. Anyone who goes to Concordia is a short walk from this great place (plus it’s open until 2a.m.) For you incoming freshmen, you can have great pizza AND study for an Old Testament final at the same time! (more…)
Well, it’s strange to think that I’m as tired as I am, because I haven’t been doing a lot of physical activity lately…. It’s befuddling (isn’t that a great word?).
Okay, I know that each and every one of you are rolling your eyes. Get over it.
Anyway, I suppose that my lethargy is due to the three days I’ve spent at St. Peter for the LUCAD gathering. It stands for Lutheran University and College Alumni Directors. I know, I’m not even done with my undergrad work and I’m off to conventions. But I do work at the Alumni Office, and this is an excellent way to get the real scoop on Alumni Relations. (more…)
So I was sitting in Barnes and Noble in Sioux Falls (probably one of my favorite places in good ol’ Soo Foo), and I was thinking that there were a lot of good highlights from this past school year.
So here they are. They aren’t in any order, however. I don’t know that I can do that ranking thing, and people will always disagree. Each have their own value (that sounds so cheesy, but it’s true). Bear with me; I know this is long. If you don’t like it, write your own.
