A Day Of Thanksgiving
Sometimes my anxiety or trepidation about an upcoming event is often worse than the actual event. That is precisely what happened with Thanksgiving. It turned out to be a nice, relaxing day. I went for a long walk in the morning, we all had a big breakfast, went for a hike in Rancho San Antonio, then had a wonderful and delicious dinner at Il Fornaio, where I thanked the staff for working on Thanksgiving.

Wednesday night's theatrical production of The Snow Queen turned out to be quite disappointing, to say the least. Uggggh. I am never going to live that one down! Bob and Aaron won't let me. Oh, well. BUT, I don't regret it because it was an exercise in identifying exactly why it was such a miss. As I explained to Bob and Aaron,

    Research Paper On Nutcracker's Panic

    On December 18, 2015 I had heard once that day that it was snowing. That crisp, pure snow was falling right outside the theater where 50 dancers, including myself, were rushing to get ready. I didn’t get to see it that day, but I wish I had. I was with two of the best friends you could ever ask for. Each of us was dressed in our own version of an 1800's party dress, like we always are when we preform Tchaikovsky's Classic Nutcracker. Abby's having an odd flower design over deep burgundy, Jadyn's had a full blue dress with an abnormal piece of cloth working as a chest plate, and mine could be used as a purple and gold checker board based on the pattern. Abby, Jadyn, and I were setting up the last of our props when we realized that a doll was missing.…

    The One Day of the Year

    “The One Day of The Year” was set in Australia, in the 1960’s. It explores the universal theme of Father- Son conflict against the background of the beery haze and the heady, nostalgic sentimentality of Anzac Day. It is a play to make us question a standard institution, but it is the likeability and genuineness of the characters that give the play its memorable qualities: Alf, the nobody who becomes a somebody on this day of days; Mum, the anchor of the family; Hughie, their Son, with all the uncertainties and rebelliousness of youth; and Wacka, the Anzac, with his simple, healing wisdom.…

    Memorial Day

    Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who perished while serving in the military, a day to honor the soldiers who died while defending America. Our three day weekend in May is a wonderful time to get together with friends and family. To most of us, Memorial weekend it means no school/work and an extra day off. Memorial Day is so much more than a day off to have fun. Most students do not really even understand why they get school off; a lot of adult use this time for cookouts or parties. Memorial Day is a day where we, as Americans, should honor our fallen soldiers.…

    A Day to Spend as You Wish

    A day to spend as I wish would start with making a big, wholesome breakfast with my family. The process of scrambling the eggs and flipping the pancakes would get me and everyone else in an upbeat mood. Giving a helpful hand in the morning would also give me a sense of worthiness. After breakfast is ready and served, my family would sit around the table together. We would discuss what we had dreamed about that night, what we had read in the news, and what we were doing that day.…

    My Vacation to Turkey

    When planning to vacation abroad always prepare very well. That is what I thought I did when I was going to my vacation to Turkey in August 2007. I was going over there with Russian girl I met online. We met online in 2002, when I was out of work and not in best of mood because of it. Her name was Olga. I liked that she felt compassionate about my situation. Then when we talked more, I found out that we have a lot in common. We both thought that people supposed to help each other and care for each other. That helped me to some point not to be too depressed and keep my mood up. She worked as crime scene specialist but after working there for four months, she had to quit because she got sick. She told me that she had to work 24 hours because her partner’s boyfriend was their boss and so she never had to show up at work and Olga had to work for both. She lived with her parents. Her mother was a pensioner and farther still worked so financially they were strapped. In June of 2003, I finally found job in my field. After working two more years on contracts, in September of 2005 I got job offer that paid well. Soon after, I offered Olga to help her financially. I started sending her $400 every month. She also mentioned that she attended long distance university for year and a half but had to quit because could not pay for it. So I started to send her $500 every semester for her college. This is how it continued for two years. Then I decided to spend vacation with Olga so we can meet in person and get to know each other better. I suggested tour in Russia that included Moscow, St. Petersburg and other Russian cities. However, Olga answered that no one can surprise anybody nowadays by visiting Moscow. That rather alerted me as I thought she acted somewhat picky considering that I was paying for everything. Then I suggested we spend our vacation on Black Sea. After sometime, she responded that even though it was a good idea but she would like to go to…
