Update on life

Well lets see. This is just gonna have to be a choppy post because there's lots to say and no eloquent way to say it. So I've finally decided on a major. I'll major in English teaching and minor in Art History and Documentary film making. That way I'll be a high school English teacher (as my day job) and a famous author/actor/filmmaker/Broadway star/everything else at night and during the summer. Perfect plan? I like to think so.
Alright next. I love my political science class! It really makes me appreciate living in America. I mean... people always complain about corruption and stuff but just try living in Russia where they treat their politicians like waitresses... Don't need to pay them well because they're expected to get tips (aka bribes). This class has really made me want to travel so I can see all of these different political systems in action. And also when I'm a famous author I'm going to build 348437842 schools in the Chinese urban areas for the migrant children from rural ares to attend because it's just not fair that these bright children can't go to good schools just because they're from the rural part of China.
So anyways, on to less serious matters. Wicked is now officially in LA and I couldn't be happier... which sadly is a line from one of the songs... I didn't even mean to do that... odd. So I've found out that you can get tickets for as cheap as $32... I'm sure the seats are terrible but who cares? It's Wicked! So my roommates and I will hopefully be going right after finals and I may get the chance to go again over the summer.
So I just need to quickly suggest that everyone read "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer" because it's just so beautifully written that I can now die happy after reading it. True it's pretty dark but I like dark stories... which reminds me...
Johnny Depp is going to be in Sweeny Todd directed by none other then my favorite director Tim Burton! Sweeny Tood is a creepy story in and of itself but get Tim Burton in on the action... should be good.
Also, Hairspray the movie is set to come out in July... It's full of famous people plus seeing John Travolta dressed up as a fat woman should just about make my life.
Well I think that's about it... I'm in love with the Office... and yeah... that's all. Oh wait no it's not... I love my tap class =) Now I'm done
