26 year-old male from Champaign, IL
I'm attending UIUC for an MFA in Scenic Technology. I have a minor obsession with Star Wars & LEGOS. I sit at my computer most of the time, but I also like camping, hiking, climbing and hunting.

My theatrical, show, and concert resume. Everything I've ever worked on is listed here. (Updated 3-2-09)

The Cat is out of the Bag

My bad news from my last journal is now in public domain and as such I can freely discuss the matter with anyone I see fit. A couple of you have already hinted at it or guessed correctly. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (like many campuses across the nation) is starting to hit some hard financial times. We are lagging about a year behind the rest of the country. Across the campus many divisions are forced to make some hard cuts and unfortunately some of those cuts have hit far too close to home.

Last Friday the MFA Scenic Technology students were told that next year there will be no new recruits coming in, dropping our number from 6 to 4, and that for now the program is going to be suspended. Everyone currently here will still receive their degrees. The other 3rd year and I aren't really affected much since we're gone in May, and to some degree two graduating next year won't see much difference (we've been at 4 or 5 students in the past because of people voluntarily dropping out of the program) but it's going to hit the 2 first years the hardest, since they'll be left alone their last year. They have some tough decisions. Stay at Illinois where they'll either get as good an education as they are now, stay at Illinois where they'll get a crappier education because the faculty are distracted by other matters, or go some place else all together where they might get a good education but don't really want to be there?

I also heard today that the Costume Technology program is also seeing a full suspension, but I don't know anything yet about the rest of the design programs since I'm out sick today. Shitty situation...and maybe after some pressure from the student body things can pan out differently, but I'm not counting on it. They won't know what they're missing until we're gone. Then they'll be fucked. End of story.

tl;dr Go back and read. This is important, people!

I dont practice religion. I have issues starting with, I dont believe that the whole bible is the same as it was 500 years ago. Let alone 1000.

Honestly, im just reading it because I believe that it will take me more then a few weeks to read.

I read the new Dan Brown book in less then 2 weeks, and that was with only about an hour or 2 every day or 2.
