Wow, I’ve been back for awhile, but I just didn’t feel like posting, I guess. NYC was unbelievable. ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
xash13x should kick me in the head for not enjoying it more and being downright rude to her for much of the trip. Our students were amazing- taking in the culture and excitement of the city. Our other chaperones were hellish- petty, bitter, condescending, biased, you name it.
“Chicago” put me to sleep. Literally. The theatre it played in was so small that it *has* to be the lower limit of Broadway, but we had orchestra seats, so that was nice. It’s just b.o.r.i.n.g. “Lestat” was by far the more enjoyable production. We saw it in the Palace Theatre and although we were in the nosebleed section, we (students and cool people) loved it. After hearing several tepid reviews, our expectations were lowered, which may be a contributing factor to our appreciation of the play. The sets and costumes were stunning and really inspired our theatre department. I was thrilled to see the kids enjoying it. Damn near moved to tears, even.
I spent some time in The Village, Chinatown, Times Square, Ellis Island, and Liberty Island, and like the kids, I was amazed at just how easily we all integrated into each segment. This trip really opened the eyes of all of us and if we can do it again (without parents and self-righteous adults), I’m all for it. I have a few pics on my site for anyone interested in boring stuff.
Oh, I almost forgot! When I came home, I learned that my brother is engaged! Her name is Jamie, though I call her James just because it sounds cooler, she teaches school with him, and she has a little boy named Cage. I’m going to be an aunt! In August! Yippee!!

People of New York City: Lock up your children!
Tomorrow, xash13x and I are going to NYC for the weekend. With 40 students. Our role is that of chaparones, which basically means we get a free, all expenses paid trip. The group of students we’re taking is nearly a perfect group to travel with, as they are nice blend of theatre kids, goth kids, and the odd prep or two. We’re seeing two Broadway shows, Chicago and Lestat. After reading the reviews of Lestat, I can’t WAIT to see our kids’ reactions. Oh, it’s going to be gold. I think we’re spending the rest of our time traipsing around the city, but we’ll be in the Village mostly.
Anyone up for some souvenirs? I suck at buying things and have NO IDEA what to buy.

Two Three eps into the new Doctor Who, and now I know I have no love for the new Doctor. I still like the show, but I actually physically hurt for MY Doctor. *sniff* Actual pain. Weird.
p.s. buhbuhraven, I have a DVD and a CD going in the mail tomorrow for you

Why should you watch this vid? Mainly just for the song. It’s Keane’s new (?) one and it’s just so catchy and fun! I think the vid is better than my last one, but, you know, still not great.
My name is Jenn, and I accept my limitations. Heh.
