I remember my freshman homecoming...it was a mix of fear, excitement, and pure adrenaline--and it turned out to be one of the best parts of freshman year! Aside from the actual performance, one of the highlights of homecoming was being in charge of the script. Meeting so many different people with awesome ideas, writing skills, and acting skills was truly amazing. And guess what!? I get to do it again this year (but with a year of experience in my pocket)! The creativity involved in writing the script has always been a favorite of mine--I love thinking of creative ideas and making figments of my imagination a reality. Much like a dictionary in python, a value (in this case, memory) is not directly accessed...there is a key that triggers the value to be brought up. For me, it was my mother's salsa--no matter how frustrated the team was, or how much fun we were having, the one thing that would always make us stop what we were doing and run to the kitchen was salsa. I will always remember the conversations that we'd had around the bowl; Harry Potter, The Legend of Korra, you name it--we've talked about it. For some reason, the salsa was the thing that brought us all together and actually "gave" us the best ideas for the script! For many years to come, I know that I will always remember my mom's salsa and the sweet, delicious, and savory memories that it brings.
