I saw Les Miserables at the Fabulous Fox Theater in St. Louis - it's the best musical in existence, no competition.

Eponine is still my dream role.

The day before we saw Les Mis my parents and I toured Washington University in St. Louis while my brother and sister went to Six Flags.  Wash U was pretty impressive, although it doesn't seem like their English program is as strong as a lot of other good schools.  The campus is beautiful and the students seem really interesting, though.  And both my parents are alumni, which is the main reason we visited.

I also had my first college interview, which was more than a little nervewracking.  It ended up going well, although when I get nervous I sometimes start talking too fast and I forget what I mean to say and instead babble on about nothing.  I kept this to a minimum, I think.  So that was good.

Tomorrow we head out to yearbook camp, with our pitifully diminished staff of six.  Or maybe five.  I don't even know anymore.  We can't seem to keep anybody.  In fact, we may end up taking one or two freshmen at the start of next year just to beef up the staff a bit.

I am in love with The Decemberists.

And also Once on This Island.


And also you.
