It's time to recap the year that has ended! (part 1)

So this was a pretty pretty pretty great year! It's going down as one for the ages! how to, where to begin Ill just do a month by month sort of thing... January 2009- I went to San Francisco for a student exchange program and had the time of my life! Not only did I make some great friends over there, or watched wicked for 6 times in a period of 4 months with a 2 month break in between (yeah), I loooved my classes (most of them). I also got to cross something of the bucket list. (ok I dont really have one but if I had done one say 3-4 years ago this was something that would have been there) this being to live in a dorm. Now I exactly didnt get the ideal roomate "we'll be bff's4e!" but for most of the time I couldnt complain.





February 2009- (just for the record this was wicked in sf time 2 and 3) Camille came to town and got to know her so much better which I'm glad I did :)








March 2009- I had my spring break so I went to visit my dad in Mexico City, boy was that awesome! I got to see the mexican versions of "Sweet Charity" and (the highlight of the trip) "The Sound of Music" I loooooved this plus I got to meet Bianca Marroquin. She's an amazing amazing mexican actress. She's the only mexican actress who's ever stared in a Broadway show (chicago) (stared meaning as a leading role). She's currently touring the show so be sure to try and catch it! She's a real inspiration for me 'cause she's living proof that you can make it in Show Biz outside your country!







April 2009- My family and neighbor came to visit to SF and it was a lot of fun. We ate in all these good places and walked and just had fun.

May 2009- (this marks wicked 4, 5 & 6th time while in SF) Ryanne came to visit so we went to see wicked a friday evening, then she practically begged we saw the saturday matinee so we did (and Im so glad she did it was so worth it!) then while stage dooring Angel Reda (she's elphie's understudy and a part of the ensemble) tells me shes going on as elphie on tuesday and so I had to go! hahaha of course she wasnt on! cause Teal decided she wanted to go on. let me tell you about the SF cast of Wicked, they are AMAZING. I usually say and stand by the opinion that the best cast a show can get is the original one but I was proved wrong when I saw Nicholas Dromard play Fiyero, he's got ALL the attitude and THAT voice! GOOOD! I just melted everytime I heard him sing "As long as you're mine" I have a weakness for his "its UUUUP that I fell". then we have the leading ladies Teal Wicks and Kendra Kassebaum. Teal is just perfect for the part her best song is without a doubt "No good deed" she is fierce! Then we have Kendra she in my opinion is an outstanding Glinda, just because she portrays the role unlike no one, they usually all go for the same kind of approach to the role and she just approaches it from a whole different level. Unlike Teal, Kendra is not a fan of Stage Doors but I did have the oportunity to meet her twice one when I waited FOREVER for her to come and another at a Macy's singing competition and she was the sweetest person so I can't figure her out!

Another person I got to meet was Carol Kane!!!
It was all thanks to my friend of 15 mins prior I made outside the theater hahaha but she was nice and let me take a pic with her and get her autograph :). the rest of the cast david garrison, eddy rioseco, dee dee, all of them were great! and boy do they have great standby's both vicky and natalie are great! also in may I had to leave SF :'( and I did leave a part of my heart there, I love it and would love to go back and live there at one point in my life!

So I'm really tired and I'm going to continue hopefully tomorrow... whoever is reading! if anyone...
