Famous Last Words: A Brief Me Too Monologues Promo!


It’s been a long week! I’ve been enjoying reading about Krishna, but I think I might switch over to the other topic for this upcoming week, but I haven’t decided for sure yet. I really enjoy how often music comes up in certain legends, or a certain character specializes in a specific instrument. I just think it’s neat to see. In storytelling, it’s nice to see other forms of storytelling overlap!

I didn’t do much writing this week, but I’m liking how my storybook project is coming along. Though I’m making this post immediately after writing my new entry… we’ll see how I feel about it later. I do like it though, overall. That still stands. I don’t have a hard time writing it, which usually means that I’m enjoying the work I’m doing!

I also like getting to see how everyone else’s projects are coming along. I tend to enjoy ones with similar topics as mine, but I think everyone has a unique vision and I’m grateful I get to see it. In online classes, there’s not a lot of room for collaboration, so I think it’s nice we get to interact so often. I’m still not great at feedback, but I do like reading my classmate’s writing. All of the topics are so creative and fun! It inspires me to do better with my own writing!

Next week, I’m going to be pretty busy! I’m the assistant director for Me Too Monologues and the show date is fast approaching! If you aren’t doing anything on November 6 or 7 at 7pm, come watch! It’s at Meachum and it’s free. I’m doing all of the technical stuff, so you won’t see me, but if you come see, let me know! We have a great show and I’d love to see you there! I'm excited to show an audience everything we've been working on. This is my second semester directing with MTM! It's been a fun time. 

I didn't have a graphic available, but this is a cast photo from our fall show, last year! I'm on the second row, on the right. I'm very small and not sure how to pose.

Introduction to a Dolly Parton Fanatic

As someone who writes frequently, I find it difficult to write about myself, but I will do my best! My name is pronounced like ‘Riley’ and I’m a criminology major. My most frequently asked question is, “Do you want to be a cop?” Nope! Having studied the criminal justice system so intensely, I’ve decided I’d rather not have a career in it. I’d rather teach or do social work. I’d also be fine doing independent studies of some sort. I love sociology. I think it’s so, so important in today’s political climate that we tackle social problems with care. As much as I love talking about my major, it can be a tad heavy at times. When I’m not trying to save the world, I like to research people. My two favorites happen to be similar in many respects, Dolly Parton and Billy the Kid, western icons. Dolly and I share the same birthday and I feel we are linked somehow because of this. Coming from poverty and being able to create such an empire for herself, I just think she’s rema

Week 9 Story: The Best Archer

Image
A trail of crimson ran down Ekalavya’s hand and onto the dirt. The boy used his free hand to apply pressure to the new wound, his thumb now missing. Drona looked down at Ekalavya, stone-faced, as emotionless as he could be. He was mildly surprised that the young archer had completed such a serious request with no refusal. When asked to cut off his right thumb, listened to the words of his teacher, someone he had not even trained with in person, and did what was asked of him.             “What a shame,” Ekalavya said to himself, quietly.             Drona raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”             Ekalavya looked up at the taller man, his deep brown eyes brimming with tears. Drona assumed the tears were in relation to the pain of losing a thumb in a brutal fashion. “I could’ve been great. You know that, right?” Ekalavya paused, wincing in pain as he shifted his hand slightly. “I had been practicing so hard too.”             “I can tell. That’s why this
