I’ve been really busy with schoolwork lately. The semester started off very slow for me, but I have tons of work in my classes now – oh, the joys of college!
I’m currently working on an oral history paper for my “Becoming American” class (about immigration novels), and I get to talk about one of my ancestors who did some crazy stuff back in late 1800s Italy. I’m also trying to think of a topic for a dance history research paper. So far I’ve considered burlesque and vaudeville dancing, dance in Germany, and dance in the LGBTQ community as topics I might want to write about. I’m still unsure!
Last week was amazing for me in the city. Last Monday, I went to a screening of “Who Took The Bomp?: Le Tigre on Tour” at the Museum of Modern Art. Two of the band members, Kathleen Hanna and Johanna Fateman, were there. They’re two of my biggest idols, and I got to talk to them briefly after the screening! It was incredible. Thursday was even better, though! I saw Stephen Sondheim’s Company at the New York Philharmonic. Neil Patrick Harris, Stephen Colbert, Christina Hendricks, Patti LuPone, and Jon Cryer were all in it. It was the best live theatre I’ve ever seen.
Has anyone else seen it?

The weekend was lovely, too. I went to SUNY Purchase, where my girlfriend Amanda attends school, for a zombie prom. It was interesting, and the dressing up was tons of fun! I needed a really long shower to get the fake blood and makeup off my skin, but it was worth the fun. It also made me really excited for the boat dance Marymount has each year! It’ll be my first time going and I can’t wait.
I’m not excited for all the work I have to get done this week, but I’m going to make it happen regardless! Is anyone else going through the almost-end-of-semester work overload?
