Stephanie died yesterday.

She was a theatre professor here at my school. I never got the chance to take her class or work with her in a show, but I'd always wanted to. She did incredible work, I tried out for every one of her plays, because I really, really wanted to work with her.

Guess I'll never get to now.

She came here after Mical retired--I had him for his last semester here. He taught theatre to my HS director, that was awesome. But she'd only been here what, like, a year and a half? She'd battled cancer before, and it came back. She was diagnosed with brain cancer this fall.

She went in the very best way though, surrounded by her family. Last weekend was her play, Automata Pieta, which had been her dream to do here. It was amazing and I loved every second of it. She got to see her 10 minute plays too. I guess, it couldn't have been at a better time.

But I really hate it when people I know die.

It makes you re-evaluate your own sense of mortality.




Geeze, could I have posted two more DIFFERENT things in the span of 14 hours?

mhmm. S'just really weird. We all knew it was coming. I don't think anyone really expected her to make it through the year, really.
