Well, rehearsals for the KCC production of "Children of Eden" has kicked into gear. Now we are rehearsing at least five days a week and anytime we can find extra time. I play a storyteller in Act I, (a fancy way of saying I'm in the ensemble). In Act II, I am Aysha, one of Noah's daughter-in-laws.
Our show will run April 23 until 26. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. each night. We are only three weeks away! So much to do in such a short time.

"Children of Eden" progress
KCC's production of "Children of Eden" is just three weeks and two days away. The music is very challenging--there is a lot of harmonizing. I keep telling myself "it will come together; it always does." I'm sure we will see some major progress soon. Starting tonight, we will begin rehearsing five nights a week in addition to our Tuesday and Thursday class times. I'm so excited, but I know I will be dragging. Stay tuned for more updates.

Student learns through writing
I've written for the Kap`io since January 2007. I was basically thrown out there--it was a "sink or swim" situation. Although I've made a lot of mistakes along the way, I've learned what works and what doesn't. Yet I'm still learning hard lessons every day.
Writing for the Kapi`o has really taught me many skills I can use in life: to pay attention to detail, to work fast and efficiently, and to spell better. I've also learned to ask the right questions and weed through quotes to find that one gem.
Best of all, I've learned to stay informed about campus events and policy changes. I've met many faculty and staff members who I'd ordinarily never even speak to. The result: I now know who to meet with to get my questions answered. To my surprise, I just realized that I've built up enough sources that many story ideas come to me. I don't have to "rack my brain" to come up with ideas quiet as much.
Whether you want to write or not, I encourage you to at least stay informed about your campus community. KCC students can start by reading the Kapi`o. Pick up a copy at any blue newsstand on campus, go to kapio.net, or check out some of my back issues at http://www.kapio.net/user/index.cfm?event=displayAuthorProfile&authorid=2799060

Sad to see the Post-Intelligencer go
As a journalism student, it is painful to see a newspaper go out of business. Recently, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has gone entirely online. This is one step away from closing down.
'Children of Eden' video
I'm currently cast in KCC's upcoming musical production "Children of Eden." And here's a YouTube video to give you an idea of what the opening number sounds like.
