The Daily News
1 Damn.2 I went to YB yesterday.
3 It's strange going back to a place you left a while back.
4 There's always a bit of sadness attached to it all.
5 Don't get me wrong: it was good to see a familiar place, and even to hug and talk to some very familiar faces, especially faculty members.
6 I saw some old friends, bullshitted with them, heard a few "too bad about sorrows" stories, and noticed that the old guard is slowly leaving.
7 I've been spending so much time trying to learn to adapt to the Chill on the Hill that I feel I've lost a huge segment of life. Oh, most of the same stuff was happening: the gym had sweaty people lifting weights; Buzz said his usual, "Hiya Mistuh H!", and I watched Ton That walk out to the parking lot after school to do his bidding.
8 But things seemed instantly weird right about when I noticed the principal walking around in his blue shirt.
9 I looked at the roof of the Theatre only to find television cameras moving laterally at around 180 degrees, one on the parking lot corner, and one directly facing the quad.
10 Little mini R2's with revolving cameras inside.
11 Sorta creepy.
12 Who's watching?
13 Ah, vell, I managed to go inside the Theatre where a rehearsal for the upcoming production of Bullshot Crummond was in rehearsal.
14 MY did it feel good to be in the Theatre again!
15 There were flats being painted, and students staging a sword fight. There was a group down in the front row taking notes and laughing. I watched. The acting was awesome, as was the sword fight.
16 Afterwards, music played, and a tech began. Saws buzzing, paint, laughter, cheap pizza.
17 It all felt so normal.
18 I guess that's all for today.
19 Normal. Right.
20 Peace.
