Goedemorgan,
So I decided a while ago that i would like to get pierced, specifically I wanted a Labret. I was putting it off until summer, just because of all the performing that I still have left to do. So saturday, after being denied the scholarship that I auditioned for (UVSC doesn't give scholarships to people who don't look like they have an eating disorder), I decided to just say "F*** IT" and get it done. I think it is one of the best decisions I have made in a long while. Frankly if they have a problem with it in the department, then they can bite me, I have decided that i will not be recognized for my talents like I am elsewhere (long story).
Arlo and I have decided that we will be moving to the Nederlands, visiting in the near future at least. Arlo would like to do his graduate work there, and I would LOVE to study dance in that atmosphere. Not to mention Dutch Musicals are GREAT! So in an effort to ease our transition, we have been learning Dutch (or as they would say "ik probeer Nederlands te leren") It is a BEAUTIFUL language, kind of the sister of German (with the guttural G, although even more so) and the cousin of French (with it's phrasing, and rolled r sounds). I have also been listening to Dutch Podcasts, and listening to Dutch musicals, my favorite it ANNIE the original Nederlands cast album, or Het officiƫle Nederlandse CastAlbum.
Well That is about all for now
ik houd van jullie! (I love you all!),
Austin
