So anyway, after I woke up on Friday morning, I was slightly excited. Biiig day ahead; y'know, the one where I get to tour campus and go to a million classes and whatnot. So I was obviously nervous, too.
The first thing I did was go to Theory class. I was incredibly confused. The professor was interesting and all, but I had NO idea what he was talking about. Music majors are nice, but nothing like theatre majors. I met with one of the music therapy professors and she was really cool. I really think that I would like majoring in MT here - it seems like one of the departments that they really take pride in.
The second half of my academic tour was with the Theatre department. I was pumped. I went to Pro Tech - none of us know why the performance major got sent to PT but I made some awesome friends. I went to lunch with K****. She's really nice. We're Facebook friends now. =) And I even managed to find something to eat - and those of you who are reading this probably already know that I'm the pickiest eater on the planet!
Theatre majors are so interesting. Everyone is so different but everyone also loves each other. I was telling K**** about how where I'm from, I'm sort of an oddball. She told me not to worry, that "we're all oddballs, too, so you'll fit right in." Probably the greatest quote ever.
So anyway, after lunch and whatnot I went back to tour the theatre building. It was really neat to get to see all the aspects of production - I usually don't get the chance to, so this was really interesting to me. I met with the head of the Theatre department and he was awesome. I could tell he enjoyed what he was doing and he seemed like he was proud of his students. That made me really happy, too. I left his office completely ready for acting class, which was next on my schedule.
I had acting class with the freshmen. I met C**** in person. We were excited. He told me what they had been doing so I wouldn't be confused or anything. Love that kid - he's kind of the person who told me about UE in the first place so I'm pretty glad we randomly met on Facebook now. (Thank gawd for mutuals!!) So anyways, acting was interesting. The professor was cool (plus I got to tell him where I live using JWT as a landmark, and that's always fun). I paid attention the entire time. Improv is SO intense - aurhghhhhhh! I spoke with he other prospective that was in there with me and we were both just completely in awe. After acting, C**** walked back to the admissions office with me (such a gentleman!) and I did the typical campus tour.
I am in love. I HAVE to go to UE. It is a dire necessity.
