It's a Very Potter Senior Year

Senior year technically started in January when I had 90+ credits, but either way, official senior year starts this fall! What a crazy few years it has been. A few updates on what I’ve been up to:

I played Ophelia Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at Columbia. I also got up to some pirate shenanigans and took part in perhaps one of my most favorite mayhem fights ever.

“Read on this book, that show of such an exercise may color your loneliness.”

I also got SAFD tested in quarterstaff, smallsword, and singlesword; I passed all three and got recommended in two! This means I have now been deemed proficient in six weapons total. And starting this fall, I will be a TA for Columbia’s stage combat program, which is both exciting and terrifying at the same time. If you told baby Tina that she would be swinging around weapons like a BA onstage, she would not have believed it. But here we are!

In the meantime, I’m working on campus as a tour guide for prospective students, seeing more theatre, going to auditions, and moving into a new apartment. Wish me luck.
