moodboard for @ladycapulet

@ladycapulet Okay gather around kids it's story time. So I cover the student government beat for my college's newspaper. All the people (mostly guys) on student government know me and we're at least friendly with one another. There's this guy, let's call him G. He's super friendly to everyone and was the same with me. I didn't think anything of it even when he started interacting with my social media posts, liking selfies on Instagram, etc. He was just being nice and for all I knew he was trying to suck up to me like a good little politician. He got my number somehow bc everyone on student government had my contact info and texted me once to let me know what his number was. I would text him occasionally just to verify interview times and the like. Ethically, I can't be friends with anyone involved in student government bc it becomes a conflict of interest. However, I do try to be cordial and nice to everyone without coming off all buddy-buddy. There's a line haha So I'm making plans to find a place to live in D.C. this summer while I take an internship for 8 weeks. I text G, who is a D.C. native and ask him if this one neighborhood is safe to live in. He replies affirmatively and I tell him that my mom had asked me to ask (which was true) bc I didn't want him to think I was taking advantage of him for no good reason. Then I tried to wind down the conversation thinking that, yknow, there was no reason to keep talking. He goes "I've told you about my family before but I've never heard about yours. Tell me about them!" So I brag a little about my sister and talk about my mom and then that's that. Yesterday he texted me to make sure I didn't have questions about the D.C. area. Then somehow we ended up talking about how I like debating about media ethics and stuff and he goes "I have to hear your perspective on this. We should meet for coffee sometime." I'm like "oh haha sure" thinking that he's just doing that thing where people go "oh we should meet" without ever intending on making plans. Then he goes "well I'm done with student government on May 1 so ethically I could take you out then. Should we meet that night for coffee?" And I was just like "yeah okay" and inside I was screaming haha Then today he texts me a photo of the Washington Post building and goes "I'm in D.C. for a wedding and walked past this and thought of you." And I'm even more ??? But yeah. Ya girl's got a date?

In this module, we think about the roles of the three female characters in the play: Juliet’s mother, the Nurse, and Juliet herself.
