I went to see "Faust" with my mom tonight which was pretty gay. Sorry for the adolescent parlance, but going to the opera with my mom sends me back to a surlier time when everything was gay and wack. This opera was certainly wack, save a few unintentionally funny scenes and the finale, which was strangely moving. The only other opera I've seen was "Carmen" and I enjoyed it a lot. It was also a dress rehearsal because I'm poor, and because I've only seen practice runs I can't give a full critique, since we're warned beforehand that the performers will be singing less vigorously to save their voices for the real performance. In "Faust" for example, the title character was completely outdone by the supporting characters, making the whole show a bit strange. Also, there's a scene where Satan performs an abortion - the GR crowd-reaction was priceless.
My mom told us that we'd go to her friend's high rise condo and have drinks and hors d'oeuvres befor the show. She failed to mention that 25 other people I've never met before would be showing up as well - many of them students. It was gay and wack. People (including me) kept complimenting the view she had. But while looking out the window I couldn't help but think 'this city sucks this city sucks this city sucks.' She has a view of: The Eberhard Center, The Van Andel Public Museum, The Gerald R. Ford Museum, and the brown river the some dare call grand.
I'm studying for the LSAT. I don't know if I want to take the LSAT, or if I have it in me to be a lawyer. I might be better off just finding some MA program and having that as my jumping-off point. I remember laughingly saying that a college degree doesn't get you anything anymore when I was still in college. It's not funny anymore.
