We are going to see Madame Butterfly--a Puccini opera.

I just cannot wait. YAY!

My Bucket list update

I haven't yet accomplished anything on my bucket list--and this makes me sad.  All of my postings are future based.

I think I have the tendency to dream big, and not really focus on the close road ahead of me. I'm not sure if thats a good thing--or something that sets me back.

This inspires me to want to think of a way to have an approachable mini bucket list--maybe modifying my approach to school, so that I can feel like I'm accomplishing little things on the way to my big goals.

VCU Basketball

WOW! What an awesome ride it has been.

I have to admit, I have not been a loyal VCU fan, nor have I even been to a basketball game.

As a freshman, I wanted to go to the games, but I almost ALWAYS had a rehearsal conflict. So, I guess I got into a bad habit.  Does that mean I don't have school spirit?

I think it's funny how when a team goes 'somewhere' and becomes really successful, the number of fans multiplies.

I also think that it's interesting that now that VCU has lost, a great chunk of those fans have turned and are now against the team.

I think it shows how people are completely in support of the things that make them look good, but when the circumstances change, and people feel as though their image and reputation will be threatened, their support suddenly isn't so strong.

With the recent VCU winnings, I think more than anything, I was just proud, and wanted to be in support of my team and school.  Maybe I did jump on the bandwagon...
