I can’t believe how quickly this semester is flying by! Once the Memo was in, the catch up game began! It is very easy to fall behind if you’re not careful. It starts with missing the readings for a particular day, and snoballs into hours of catch up reading over the weekend.

I’ve performed in theatrical productions all across the country, asked a question of the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, sung the National Anthem, but nothing was as nerve-wracking as this experience. People kept telling me, “oh, but you’re used to being in front of a crowd.” Sure I am....
