Wicked Pt.2

In the last post I tried to explain a little bit about the play Wicked, without giving away all the fun of course. I have to say this is my favorite musical of all time. And that means a lot because I watch a lot of musicals. The beautiful singing voices of all the characters is enough to make you shed tears of joy. The characters are different, complex, funny, and above all, completely relatable to anyone. The plot explains every question you could ever have about The Wizard Oz. Its extremely hard for me to talk about how amazing this play is without giving everything away. If you really want my opinion, go see it then contact me. I could literally go on for hours about this play. 

Wicked Pt. 1

This show is a spectacular example of a Broadway Classic. Its all about how the Wicked Witch of the West became wicked. Its an amazing twist off of the classic Wizard of Oz. Its full of magic, singing, dancing, and a barrel of  laughs. The story starts off with Oz celebrating the Death of the Wicked Witch. Then, the Good Witch comes down from her bubble and is asked about the Wicked Witches past. She then reveals that she went to school with the Wicked Witch. She tells the tail of the extraordinary life of those involved and how the present situation came to be. I would HIGHLY RECOMEND IT.

Hello fellow bloggers!!!!!!!! Yep its me :D Im excited and also terrified that this semester is almost over! Excited because im that much closer to my PhD, terrified because I have a lot of shit to finish up for this portfolio. Seeing as I only have one paper finished.....and its due Monday.....yyeeaahhh...So ANYWAY! Yep I also feel pretty good because im almost done with my blogs. After I see Wicked on Thursday, I will have finished my blogs. Other than that I really don't have much to say. Today we are just finishing up what needs to be done for our portfolios. Sweeny isn't even here. So its not like I can pick on him today. Other than the fact that he "lost" my paper then found it. Which I really do appreciate. That saved me a good amount of work that i don't have to do over. So.......Bye bye now :)

Adams Family Musical Pt.2

In Part one I decided to tell you a lil about the play that I had the pleasure of attending. In this blog I shall tell you about how I felt about the play. When I first heard about this musical I was a little skeptical. I always had an interest in The Adams Family movies and the Adams Family series, however, when I heard it was a musical immediately doubted its worth."The characters would have never sang," I had thought. However, my objections were shut down after the play began. The righters knew what they were doing, they worked in every single song beautifully and effortlessly. The characters still had their grim and twisted nature while still providing a lot of laughs. The choreography was amazingly well done while providing a great variety. If you are a fan of the Adams, then I would defiantly recommend this show. However, if you are not a fan, or not a fan of musicals in general, then I would save the money and skip the experience.

Adams Family Musical Pt. 1

For my mothers birthday, we decided to see a play in the Richmond area. This play was the Adams Family Musical. The musical was about Saturday, the daughter, falling in love with a young man. Saturday was very conflicted with this, seeing as she always found pleasure from pain and destruction. All of a sudden Saturday was getting enjoyment from things like "happiness" and "flowers" and "goosey, feely, mushy stuff."  Before she knew it her young lover proposed marriage to her. Of course, she accepts the proposal, however, decides to hide it from her family. The only person in her family that is aware of the engagement is her father, Gomez. This, however, creating a problem with Gomez and his wife, Mortisha. Mortisha is well aware that Gomez is hiding something from here, after they promised to never lie to her. On top of that, Saturday invites her lovers, overly perfect, family over for dinner. This leads to a chaotic scene where the families clash. Will Saturday marry her true love? Get tickets at the Richmond Theater n find out.

  Once again I figured I would create my post while class is going on. It may not be exciting, however, its the only way the bog will get done, due to my busy schedule. Only nine students are in attendance today. The PowerPoint is very cute. Despite the slides changing constantly, it was well put together and showed that a lot of effort was made in it. However, it is pretty obvious who worked within the group and who did not. After the groups wonderful presentation, we discussed process memos. It is 10:33 and I have finished my process memo #2 and am not sure what to do next. Well, other than the obvious of righting this blog. I may just start to watch Pewdiepie again in a few min, just because I have absolutely no idea what to right next. I do wish Sweeny would give us back our rough drafts soon, so I may finish this paper and get it off my plate. Well Sweeny just gave the OK to go sooooooooo. Yep. Bye :)

  Todays class was very fun. I very much enjoyed the grammar lesson. The bingo idea was a good one, though, I believe it could have been applied better. I also believe some of the answers were wrong for it. A lot of the Passives were Actives and vise versa. However, it was still very fun and a very good idea. Plus the game after was really funny. It was cool to see everyone having fun and bonding in class. For it being the day before spring break, the class was very fun.

In class.

I figured the best way to do this is to do this blog in class. Stay at home mothers is the first topic that really took up. Im my own grandpa, really Sweeny, really??? Weirdest song ever!!! I cant believe this song....exists. Now we are talking about same sex mirage. I feel like we should be talking about incest. Virginia is weird...nice story bro. Weird things are being said in this class. Always... Though there are weird conversations, lots of students say very good points. For being at such a young age, the students in  this class are very intelligent and opinionated. Its the great to see so many different personalities in one room. I can honestly say that I enjoy this class a lot. It has a cool teacher and great students to lighten up a rather dull subject.

Dear Readers,

          I'm sorry for my absence from my blog. I have been quite busy saving the world and what not. I'm sure I wasn't missed too badly. Any-whosies. Grammer Shammer was very well done today by all who participated. I'm impressed that someone can make a whole power point on just BeyoncĂ©. It was quite very entertaining. It was also very well put together. The group also did extremely well for missing a member. So hats off to you. I do believe my group did pretty well. Seeing as we were delayed a week from snow, and we were missing a member, I think we did alright. Could it have been better? Yes. Was it bad? No. Will wen do better next time? Good question. Over all I know we could improve and hopefully teach the class a thing or two.

A Little About Me

Hello. Unlike the tittle of my bog, my name is Sabrina Taina Rios. I'm a pretty simple woman in a complicated world. I am born and raised in Prince George Va. Though I was born in a simple town, my background is anything but. If you were to ask me what my heritage is, I would state that I am Porte Rican; however, as you can tell by my complexion, I have a rainbow of European blood in me. My hobbies include video games, reading, drawing, baking, and trying anything new. I also participate in the hobby of Cosplay. Cosplay is when a geek, such as myself, dresses up as superheroes and attends conventions and contests. I am known for my Black Widow cosplay (hence Black Widows Blog), though I am branching out and looking for inspiration everyday. I currently work at the F.Y.E at South Park Mall. I love my job and love the employee discount on all of my geeky obsessions. Lastly, I plan to transfer to VCU and get my PhD in Psychology. My goal is to help all Veterans will PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Now that you know a little bit about me, I hope become friends with all of you and enjoy our time in Sweeny's classroom. (Even though he is a dork) :P
