Well, I really enjoyed watching the talent show! It was great to have a different kind of evening thing to do. There sure is a wide ranging bunch of talents in this place...

	It really was fun, wasn't it? Seeing everyone's entries makes me regretful that I don't have any musical talent. That's the real magic to me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	But Ravi, your act was amazing! You and the others did a really good job! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I enjoyed the chance to sit and watch for a change, without the worry of rehearsing and then performing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, we've switched places. My hats off to you. It's a lot of work, all of that rehearsing and performing. I'm glad you got to relax and be the one to enjoy a show. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks, Ravi. It was really nice, especially for the last one. How did it feel to perform? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A little terrifying, honestly? It's like... the winter play. Nervewracking beforehand, but then you step out there and you get into character, and it's like none of it matters. [...] I don't think I'd want to get into the habit, though. I'm not really a performer. [Tabitha] Are you still considering the drama program? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I definitely understand that feeling. the first part, at least. If you don't mind me asking - what made you want to give it a shot in the first place? Ravi The place is mine to double major if I want it. I have until next week to confirm. Not certain yet, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The talent show, or the winter play? I was helping Sun-mi rehearse her lines and she made me try out for the play, for fun. The rest of history. But the talent show... I don't know.

I suppose... I'm a bit jealous of all of you who can sing and play an instrument. Then I had an idle little idea, we started working on it, and it grew from there? Winning third place was rather unexpected.

[Tabitha]
What are the downsides of double majoring? What are you worried about?

It was the talent show I was thinking about. There always seems to be a different vibe between those and plays where everyone is in the same boat, you know?

[Ravi]

Workload, I guess is the main one. The attitude of others, maybe? Apparently the muggle students who do it get looked down upon by their peers sometimes, but I'm not really bothered so much about that, because I wouldn't be the only one.

I WANT to do it, but I'm just looking into the amount that has to be done for classes and seeing if I can cope with it.

	Really? I'm not sure I saw any evidence of that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Very clever, Wong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think the word you're looking for is accurate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	qnnc 2017-01-18 10:18 am UTC (link)
	No, it wasn't. We had the privilege of seeing some truly talented students perform on Sunday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	firecoral 2017-01-18 10:24 am UTC (link)
	Are you including yourself in that statement? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	paladins 2017-01-18 10:29 am UTC (link)
	I would. Quinn's group worked hard and danced incredibly well. It was very enjoyable to watch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	firecoral 2017-01-18 10:35 am UTC (link)
	You don't think there was a slight imbalance of talent in that group? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I was just following Ramirez and Hawkeswood's instructions, so no, but I was ~~sure as hell~~ counting them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I can see why you'd find all that art boring; it can get a little difficult when it's not your area of expertise. You seem more focused on the here and now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	firecoral 2017-01-18 09:49 am UTC (link)
	You don't have to be an expert to have an opinion. Isn't art supposed to be subjective? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm sorry, it's only that when you apparently disliked all of it, it suggests your tastes lie elsewhere. In Event Committee you're so at home with those little organisational details, running the ship, etc. Especially compared to all those frivolous aesthetics.

Oh! We started discussing Valentine's Day, by the way. Did you just want to sit that out? I can ask Mina to take point.

	You're so right! My tastes lie in things that actually look good. Aesthetics are just as important as organization. Don't be ridiculous. You won't need to ask Mina to take charge, Calvin. She seems to think she runs Event Committee anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evercreep 2017-01-18 10:34 am UTC (link)
	Hm. Well, we all have different tastes. Well, someone has so. She really keeps Event Committee together. I don't know what we'll do after she graduates. (Reply to this) (Parent)
