Oh my goodness, I'm in love.
This past Saturday, the 7th of November, I attended the Columbia College Chicago Open House. It was SPECTACULAR!
First was the welcome session, which was in this theatre owned by Roosevelt University, but it was so pretty. The performance was very happy-making ;) and I got some recordings on my iPod. There was a jazz band, a choir, some soloists, a rapper, some dancers and videos. There were two speakers, and though I knew most of what they told me, it still made me love Columbia that much more.
Then mom and I went to the photography visit, and I peeked in the darkrooms and looked at students' work and it was beautiful.
The theatre presentation was awesome, and though I couldn't take the tour I looked in at some theatres in the building, the big one and the black box one. They were tight! Basically theatre there, they said they do on average 40 productions a school year, freshman are ENCOURAGED to audition, there is even a freshman-only production, and you are allowed to audition for companies within the city. Ugh, it's just so perfect.
It's pretty expenisve, especially if you live in the dorms, which are NICE! But I've been doing some scholarship research and have 45 potential ones in a binder at the moment, that are organized by due date and then by requirements.
I'M SO EXCITED! LOVE. <3

Glad you're getting started on this big decision making, and it sounds like you'll forget what the words "free time" mean. Hey, that sounds like life.
P.S. How do I wangle an invitation to the AP Studio Art so I can see your photography efforts?
I am impressed with the organizational efforts. Keep that up after you get in and college will be much easier.
Kudos!
I'm confused, about the photography...
And thanks you guys. :D
The Brick forgot to mention the part where her glasses fell in the toilet and got whooshed away by the automatic flusher. Good times.
Actually, it was great and seems like a terrific fit for her. I kind of want to go back to college now. Dorm life looks pretty good. And the city ... !
Re: the photography comment - if I click on the link to see your photos (left side of your blog page), it tells me I can log in and view them if I have an invitation (and presumable a password)
I'm sorry, I really have no idea...I'll figure something out and let you guys know...
Plug, that revelation about the glasses would be so funny if it weren't so costly. It would fit in beautifully in a Marilyn Monroe movie, don't you think?
Rake, have you replaced the glasses with a white cane or a loyal, trustworthy dog? Hoping the best for you. The cane is less expensive and probably would lead to more new introductions. (My imagination is going crazy tonight.)
