Girls' Night


I'm so glad that LF took me out tonight. She has been helping a veteran student organization to organize a performance. The performance is called "Telling," which was premiered tonight. So, LF took me there.

The performance was played by students who have experienced wars (Gulf War, Iraqi War, etc.) and the military life. I thought it'd be a daunting story, but in fact, it was not. It is well balanced with fun parts of military life and dreadful experiences in battle fields. The actors are all amatuers, but they did a good job. It was fun, but at the same time, it was really informative and sad, and you would see how those soldiers feel about the military. It's almost like love and hate relationship. They love the community feeling in the military, but they are plagued by what they see in battle fields.

LF also did a good job. She worked as a PR person for them, contacting with the media, organizing press kits, sending them to the media, and so forth. Thanks to her contribution, the venue was filled up. LF was so excited about it. She's a energetic, superwoman as I repeatedly say.
