[1]UT Explore brought thousands of youth upon UT campus to venture into time and their future. There were plenty of events to attend, yet none as telling and pertinent to their actual future as the A Mad Tea-Party. What else is there to learn as a youth exploring UT campus other than how to manage... time?
Um, you're going to need to know how to do that, junior; trust me on that....
It's interesting how things change as you get older. You read a book or watch a movie and in your later years; you come back to revisit the subject or title; you scrutinize it an entirely different manner than once before; and you come to an entirely different conclusion altogether. Not surprisingly--as we get older our perceptions change as we gain knowledge. With the knowledge we gain the more _______ we become, whether it be critical, enlightened, animated, political.... It all depends on the topic we're discussing and what kind of light we're shedding on the matter, not to mention how we interpret the knowledge that determines_____ or "x" for you mathematicians out there...
Modern technology gives us a whole new, though not original of course, look at A Mad Tea-Party.
Advancements in graphics and animation will enable future students to create and recreate multi-media in vast detail.

Students enthusiastically entertained many youngsters at the UT Explore event who dared to wonder the halls of the 40 acres exploring their future and task of managing time:
Sophie Ryan plays The Mad Hatter and performs UTea-time for UT explorer...
When I arrived for the last showing of the Mad Hatter Tea party hosted by my gracious E 375 professor and classmates, I couldn't help but wish I had managed time better and gotten there a sooner, though I really can't complain. The act I saw was great and stepped up for even a small audience. Sophie playing The Mad Hatter in such an authoritative manner was hilarious and reminded me entirely too much the ever-so-feared Caucus Leader. That poor girl! My sympathetic imagination went out to the audience. . . .
Previous actors from previous acts were obviously tired from a long day of previously managing their previous time and since I previously read Marshall's blog about tea party's and time, I came to conclude that he enjoyed playing his role previous to my arrival. ( It's all loony--this time "thing".)
All in all it was a good day of great acting and excitement well-deserving of applause for the performance, turn out and good deed for the community.
