Alright, I'm not dead, just if you were wondering, though I doubt you were. The end of the semester, as always, is quite hectic. As for the title, today on the ABC Countdown is Rent Day (La Vie Boheme Day) here at Monmouth College. My roommate came up with an idea to countdown the end of the school year with days tying with the letter of the alphabet, which she came up with in high school. It's pretty cool so far. We've had Cool Handshake day, Flailing Arms day, Loser day, Overly Expressive day...just to name a few. So, in accordance with today being La Vie Boheme day, our group of friends at supper this evening are performing a large rendition of the song. For those of you who don't know, the song is from the show RENT. It's pretty good, up beat and fun to sing along with, but, being the very liberal show that it is there are some pretty crazy lyrics. All in all though, it will be fun. I'm pretty sure they're singing it when all the football players are at dinner, so it will be funny to see their reactions...punks. I have nothing against them, none whatsoever, but they sure do get away with a lot of stuff at this school. Oh well.
Good news though, April is almost over! I have six days of classes before finals start, so that's pretty exciting. However, I have entirely way too much to complete before the end of next week, as I imagine most of you do too. Well, best wishes on the end of the semester and finals and graduations and trips and everything! You're all in my thoughts and prayers.
xoxoxo
p.s. Already my roommate has listened to the song this morning about 10 times. I think I may go mad before the end of the day......ahhhhh!

I hate Rent. I'm sorry, but it's true. That song is just not good, nor are the other 525,600 songs in it...
oh my...
oh...I'm sorry that you hate Rent. It's quite the controversial show, but I believe that those sort of shows are pivotal in the sense that it helps more people become aware of controversy in our world. We can no longer remain niave about issues. Granted it's not my favorite, nor in my top 10, but as far as musicals go it's rather popular and some of the music is fun. Sorry you have beef about it and I feel that if I knew you were I would believe your argument even more.
beef... yum.
It's not the controversy, it's the commercialization. Also, most of the music is just terrible and highly overrated.
oh braxton
What? I stand by everything Anonymous said.
