Chapter Seven - The Hypnotist

Frederick Winters - Hypnotist
March 24th was one of the best days of this month!!  The Associated Student Government of Western brought in a hypnotist to entertain the students and community.  Frederick Winters, tours all around the US and in very good at his job.

The night he came, he chose several college students and community members to come up on the stage.  I was included in that group and I was so excited to be hypnotized.  This was the second time in my life that I have been hypnotized and to tell you the truth...  I don't remember a single minute of any of it.

While you read this, keep in mind that I am only sharing stories that I heard from other people.  I have also seen the video of what happened which is rather comical.

Anyway...  He started us out on the beach where we were really hot and everyone took their shoes off and put their feet in the sand.  There were some boys that took their shirts off but that's another story.  Next we were on the worlds highest, fastest, longest and scariest roller coaster!!  They tell me that I was sobbing and that I wouldn't let go of my chair.  I am rather scared of roller coasters so that was pretty accurate.  Haha.

He said that we were all 200 years old...  We were dancing...
The 200 year old people trying to get out of their chairs together.

Yeah I'm kissing the Mic Stand
She was a good kisser...
I think that the funniest part of the evening was when the hypnotist put me to sleep and told me that the microphone stand was the most beautiful woman in the world.  He also said that I would want to kiss her every time I heard the word "pizza."  Now, I don't have to tell you twice, whenever he said "pizza," I went right up to the microphone stand and started kissing it....  Yeah, pretty embarrassing!!!  But don't worry, here are some pictures!!

Chapter Six - PAYDAY!!

Okay so this may sound so incredibly stupid but I want to tell you all about payday!!!  It is probably the best two days of each month, lets just be honest here.  The school is wonderful, the teachers rock, the theatre department is amazing but....  PAYDAY TOPS THEM ALL!!!  Payday occurs on the 6th and 21st of each month, in case you were wondering.
Best RA's Ever!!!



Here at good old WWCC, we have the wonderful opportunity to find jobs that will give a little bit of extra spending money.  For example, to the right, is Jewels Perry and Kylee Rich.  They are both Resident Assistants in the WWCC dorms.  Them get paid a small amount each month to run the main desks at Aspen Hall and Rocky.  They also get free housing I hear, which is pretty sweet!!




WWCC's production of "Stage Door"
Other ways to get a nice job is through your department.  I hear that just about every department has some type of internship you can apply for to get some extra cash.  If you are a theatre major, which you all should be, we have lots of jobs.  I work as an accompanist intern, which just means that I play the piano for a lot of students in their singing and acting classes.  It is lots of fun and once, I must mention that I get paid!!!

Well, I'd love to stay and chat more, but it is the 21st after all and I must go pick up my check!!!

Catch ya later everyone!!!

Chapter Five - Harry Potter in the WWCC Theatre

Okay, so this is a very late post but it was very worthy of posting I decided.

So, a few weeks ago, the RA's planned a special showing of the 7th Harry Potter movie in the WWCC Theatre.  It was very fun and, of course, the movie was excellent!!  The RA's even gave out popcorn to eat during the movie.

The funniest part of the evening was when there was an unexpected fire drill right before the movie started.  The fire marshall of Rock Springs had to come inspect the theatre for safety and they decided that it would be a perfect time to execute a fire drill.  Even though some people did get upset, the fire drill and showing of the film was very successful.

I know that is kind of short but it was very fun!  That is all for now.  i will write more soon!!

Oh and PS --- COME TO WESTERN!!!!!  IT'S FUN!!!!
