Appel and the EAP

Last Tuesday’s presentation by Mr. Appel was very interesting. Having done theater in high school (I was in the play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and the musical, “Bye Bye Birdie”), I could relate to much of what he said.  I also can make a well informed decision that I do not want to be involved in theater any more. From my experience, although there will be a few smart, congenial, and neat people, there will be an equally if not larger amount of people who will generally behave pretty odd.  The entire process of rehearsing, setting up, and performing a musical dramatic production in high school is fun out of context, but the long hours that you have to spend in dark, close quarters backstage with the odd people who say that they love all things music and dramatic but don’t play a single instrument or sing can VERY tedious.

On the other hand, college likely has filtered out those people and left only the intelligent, sociable, and able people within theater. Even so, I probably would not want to join because I spend all my hobby time recording rock n roll and synthesizing dance music. I definitely hope to see some of the performances during my stay here.

As far as travel abroad, I probably will want to try to go somewhere, but I likely won’t if I can’t get some sort of scholarship because out of state tuition is very expensive. It even cost around a thousand dollars to fly home and back. I just don’t want to know what Edozie’s fairs are to and from London.
