Yet at the end of the day this life is still what I choose.

Okay, I've kind of learned that there are some observations you make on your public blog. There are other that just shouldn't be mentioned. This is probably one of them. I'm talking about it anyway. Before I say this, I am going on the record stating that I love choir. A lot of good friends of mine are in choir. And I really really really wish I could take choir. But I can't. With newspaper taking up an entire class, and all of my required classes, I really have no room in my schedule. That being said, you know the policy that requires the separation of church and state? Our school needs a policy requiring the separation of choir and theatre (particularly of the musical variety). The last thing I want to do is aggravate choir people; I love you guys. This isn't targetted at you. But choir and the musical are two separate activities. So why do I feel like I'm being punished for only choosing to participate in one? Sure, the skills taught in choir transfer into musicals. But is it assumed that because I'm not in choir that I don't know what I'm doing? Like school choir is the only way one can attain said skills? I'm not the bitter one, and that isn't anything close to my goal here. But none of us can deny the favoritism that exists within our performing arts department. (Although some try... /: ) I love our theatre department to death. Really, I do. But the fact that I can't be a part of the choral department really shouldn't have anything to do with how I'm treated in the theatre department. E above the staff. And that's the last I'll say about that.
