Learning Experiences

A couple things I've learned over the last week:

1. Do NOT forget hiking boots when climbing a mountain. Hiking through a foot of snow in Converse is not fun. It's also very chilly on your toes.

2. When you spend two weeks preparing for a musical, you don't care nearly as much as when you spend 3 months on it. I'm in the school's production of Pirates of Penzance (Read the last post about that), and I kinda jumped in at the last minute. This means I didn't actually know how the story ends until the third performance when Les told me how it ended. Also, I don't know any of the cast inside jokes, I wasn't there to see the set go up, I didn't help paint the set or anything. I feel so... outsider-ish. The high school productions, while not as good quality, were a much more personal experience for me, which I miss.

3. Doing laundry at 12 am is so worth it when you have to take up 5 washers. Which I guess is my fault, because I haven't done laundry in 3 weeks. It'll be weird to go back home and have to do laundry one load at a time.

4. I don't really know how to break in cards. No one wants to play with them because they are so new, but then no one will ever want to play with them because they will never be un-stiff-ified.
