ASHLAND!

So this weekend I'm going to be hanging out in San Leandro, so I'm not going to be able to hang out with people but on the bright side, as much as this makes me sound like a dork, I'm going to play the hell out of my new game Fable II, I'm so hooked onto it. And I have to wash cars on Saturday from nine till twelve, so if anyone needs a cheap and good quality car wash, come anytime between nine a.m. till three p.m.  and that same day I'm supposed to be having a St.Patrick day party at my house with family, witch should be interesting, depending on who cooks. And wile this is all going on my Little brother, Ben, is heading up to Ashland,Oregon for the Shakespeare festival. Where they get to stay at South Oregon University.

 

I remember when i went to the festival in eighth grade. It was a great trip, we leave on Friday morning exactly when school starts,its about an six to eight hour drive, including food and rest stops, and then on your first day when you get there, you get your room key's, food passes, and all the rules, then you head to your room and unpack.There is such a great view if you just step outside, of mount Shasta, the top of it should be covered in snow. From that point everyone is so happy that they're no where near home, and so they all run around, going threw every possible room and just hanging around, the first night you don't do much, you just see one play. Over the next couple of days you go and take a couple of tours, and see a total of three shows.  I remember seeing The Clay Cart, A Midsummer Nights dream and i cant seem to recall the last play.

 

Our chaperone's were pretty lenient with what we did, we were able to walk around the campus all we want, walk down the hill to go and get Starbucks or walk down to the market and pick up all the junk food you wanted.The best thing about the dorm was we had a mini fridge to store all that junk food. We were also able to stay up till like one in the morning, but we could not go up to see the girls pass a certain cerfue During the course of each day,i believe there was either one or two theatrical classes that we had to go to, that took place on the campus. And then after that Everyone would split up and head there own separate ways. After one of the tours we went on,our teacher took us to a nearby Major tow, and for some reason i cant remember what city it was, but he gave us two hours of free time to go and shop and eat.

 

I my brother has as much fun as i did when i went up for the festival

 

 

Is kind of strange to be thinking of ...

Is kind of strange to be thinking of summer this early in the school year? Last year was one of my favorite ones so far. Lately Ive just had some of tho's memories keep popping up in my mind. Just of my swim team in San Leandro and just laying out in the sun all day. Fun, Just being able to bask in the heat of the radiant sun. Every Saturday morning i have to be at a meet by six-thirty to seven o' clock, so everything is still all damp, wet and cold. So after my warm-up i get out and its freezing, but as soon as it gets later in the day, the sun pops up and everything starts to become nice and warm with a nice cool breeze in the air. Not to mention , there is  summer love in the air. Who doesn't like to have a crush, hook up or fall in love with someone during the summer time? Its kind of like valentines day, but only its everyday for three months.

Last year i also had an internship up in the Oakland hills at a theatre called Wood minster Theatre. There were a total of three shows during the summer, i only was able to do one of them. I thought that my muscles and body were going to fall apart by time i got home. Surprisingly it wasn't all that hard, its was surprisingly easy, just because this production only had mainly a lot of HUGE sized props. After each show, i came home and slept from twelve till seven. It was a tiring job but that's what made it so much fun. my plan this coming summer is to do all of the productions so that i can earn my self a little bit of money for a car.
