Snow Days, Surprises and Birthdays

So. It finally snowed.

Take that global warming!

Anyway, because of this tiny miracle, the Abbey finally let us have a snow day. God bless. Yep, first snow day of the year and guess who didn't sleep in? Moi. Yeah. Woke up at 5:45am on the dot, got the email around 6:30, went to breakfast just around 7ish. Of course, snow days don't stop Bray-Bray from having rehearsal, but I mean, hey—The Addams Family isn't all bad. In fact, it's the first musical I've actually thoroughly enjoyed here, so props to us :) I spent the next four hours in a cat onesie, doing absolutely nothing in the art building *cough* totally not canoodling with the boyf *cough* After rehearsal, I sorta milled about on my own and did some jamming in the Wing—til I got kicked out by a couple of lowerclassmen scrubs doing inappropriate business...

Fun times. That night I spent chilling with the boarder peeps (aka Brandt, Max, Cassie, Anjli, Rory, Jon, etc...) watching Mad Max: Fury Road in the boys' common room. Explosions ensued.

The next day—surprise surprise!—was my little nugget's 11th birthday. That's right, my little Javi is officially two full hands and a toe old. That's a lot. What am I doing with my life.

What my dearest CJS neglected to tell me, though, was that it was also his mother's birthday. Thanks a lot, babe. Instead, I learned this wonderful bit of news from C, and so he happily dragged me along to her ambush/surprise party. Needless to say, it would've been a tad bit awkward if I had just shown up at their house without knowing that. Oh whale.

Random sidenote: not that any of you were wondering, but I should 100% be writing my english paper right now. Guess what's not getting done tonight?

Ignore me. Anyway, as I was saying, it was a jolly old time at the S house with about three other families crowding around the place. After they all left, though, I being the super special creature that I am got to stay and so CJS and I got to watch A Beautiful Mind, which was quite emotional to say the least.

So that was my weekend in a nutshell. Next week is Berklee. Dear Lord, help us all...

Week after that is tech and then whoop-di-do! It's show time. Week after that: exams. God bless the Abbey.

Constellations

Constellations

by: Maya Wilson

I like holding your hand.
Fingers intertwining, veins pulsating
+ the comfort of knowing you care.
I like holding your hand because
I can count your freckles.
You laugh every time I point out
the milky way,
"No, silly, that's in the sky," you say.
"But don't you see? It's right on your hand!"
I like that your body is made of constellations.
Every freckle is another star bursting with
Brilliance
And every star is another reason to love you.
You are made of the stars, darling,
And I would never change a single one.
So when I hold your hands next,
Just let me trace your constellations.
It's entertaining.

What's Up?

Wow, I haven't posted since last year. That's quite a while.

Haha it's a joke, get it? Cuz it actually wasn't all that long ago... I'm so funny.

Anyway.

So far, The Addams Family is going swimmingly (we're almost done with Act I, thank God), EHX is sounding progressively better (we have a thing at URI tomorrow and I get to miss class woooo), SEMI IS TOMORROW AND I AM BEYOND EXCITED <3

Hmmmm let's see... Wellllllllll school is fine, I guess. It's still school.

Mid-January and it still hasn't snowed yet. Goddammit.

Break was lovely. I got to see the fam and I hung out with all my old college peeps and we had a grand old time. I miss free time.

In short, the next couple months will get crazy busy, I'm sure, but hopefully I get the chance to write sometime in between. I'm having a good time with my people and I hope everyone continues to keep their head up for the rest of winter term. It'll all be okay.

Here's to a great new year :)

Hasta la proxima,

Much love xoxo
