STORY:
last sunday, i was able to go check out the cirque du soleil's KOOZA. otis discounted the tickets for the students and it was glorious! i had never been to anything like this before, but it was an incredible experience. i was fortunate enough to sit by ms. lindsey in the corner. a pole blocked part of our view so we were able to play the guessing game together. after all is said and done, i'm eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see another cirque show.
