Ninjas are cool, and by cool, we mean totally sweet...

I did not apply to the scholarship for the writing workshop in New York. I decided it was too expensive for two weeks. How insane would it be to try to arrange for a writing workshop week that would be free to participants at USC this summer? Would I be able to get any professors or writers to, well, work for free for a day or two?
I still wonder if maybe I should have applied for the scholarship. I mean, I don't regret not applying because even with the scholarship, it still would have cost me like a $1000 just for the plane ticket and the room/board. And I'd rather save up the money we have in our vacation fund and use it to do something with B as opposed to doing something without B.
I'd love to go to
The Royal Shakespeare's Company Shakespeare Festival in Stratford-on-Avon this year. Ian McKellan is going to be King Lear and Patrick Stewart is going to be Prospero
and Antony! Plus there's going to be a weird version of Hamlet featuring tiny ninja figures, and Ophelia will drown in a glass of water, put on by the Tiny Ninja Theater of NYC.
If I had known that my fifty-cent figurines could do Shakespeare, then I would have employed my Homies ages ago.
And if I haven't posted this website on my blog before, then
I'm posting it now.Labels: grad school, travel
