Weekend Visit

This weekend was a good one for me, in that the week leading up to it was a very hectic one, but the weekend was much more relaxed. That's because I was fortunate enough(or unfortunate, depending on how you look at it), to have been cast in two one act plays that the drama club put on this past Friday. However, that did mean a lot of work for me this week, as we had a lot of rehearsal time in order to make sure everything was top notch for the performances, and that meant twice the amount of time as others that were only involved in one. I had many nights of coming from work, grabbing a quick bite to eat, and then going to rehearsal for a few hours before I could even think about starting my homework. That's not to say I'm complaining, as I wouldn't have signed up for this if I didn't love it.
Thankfully, all that hard work was not for nothing, as the plays turned out wonderfully, and the audience loved them. Particularly the second one I was in, which was a spoof of the Harry Potter series in which we attempted to tell the entire story in 40 minutes. I played Hagrid and Dumbledore, and it was great fun. Following the good vibes of a good performance, I was also lucky enough that my parents came up to see them, and then visit for the weekend. Though it had only been a week since I saw them laat, it was still nice after this stressful week to have a taste of home. We toured all around the greater Burlington area, enjoyed the outdoors while we still could, ate some delicious food, and had a nice time. It was really something I needed, especially right before the last week of classes and with finals right around the corner, as it gave me peace of mind, and will help me focus on what needs to be done before I can get back home.
