Update. Real one.

Blog Entry for Friday September 14th, 2007.

Haven't blogged in a while, obviously. Once so far this month. This makes this twice.

1)School
The fact that my statistics test was open book saved my life, I think. It took a while, but I think I did ok: probably a B, hopefully an A. The test was only 10 questions long, so one mistake and I fall a long ways. My tech theatre class is way too easy. I just REALLY don't find it interesting. Spanish is easier, but not enough homework. Yes, this is why people hate me. I say things that like and the professors sometimes listen. I am Hermione in many ways. But anyway, the Spanish test had too many culture questions, not enough grammar and vocab. There was a lot of stuff I think should have been tested that wasn't. Me of the opinions. History of the Theatre is an interesting class, though. It gets me through to lunch. I had a paper due for that class today, too, as well as the two tests. The paper was on Aristotle's Poetics. Aristotle seems to think that people get enjoyment from imitation, but I think...

“This thought makes me consider why people enjoy viewing imitation. One theory I have is that people feel the need to classify people and objects as a group. Such classification is the basic of language and self-awareness (“I am this/I am not that”). In viewing an imitation with a group, the individuals of the group synchronize their internal definitions.”

What do you think?

2)Theatre
I've volunteered for props for a few days at Workshop in Amherst. I had to revise my schedule because of my business, but I haven't heard from the props mistress, who was supposed to get into e-mail touch with me. ACK! I have an audition Sunday, too, for Bus Stop in Hudson. Hopeful but not confidant. If I get it, awesome! If I don't, I can relax! Either way works. God will pick the best way. I have faith.

3)Cauldron
I've also signed up to do the occasional article for the Cauldron, the school newspaper. Again, had to put off because it's crunch time. My first article should appear in the first edition in October. Huzzah!

4)Me
Me is not doing as well as me would like. Jeff's been awesome, but I wish I could see him more. He's got school Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and he works all day Saturday and Sunday. We talk on the phone all the time, but still... I miss him. Plus, school's pretty lonely. I get on the bus, go to class, occasionally speak up or chat for a moment with a random classmate, but... I guess you might say I have no social life. I eat lunch by myself, exercise by myself, take the bus home by myself, study by myself. There's a theater clique at CSU, and I'd get accepted if I worked on all the sets, hung out in the green room every spare moment, and went to STAGE meetings. But I take the bus, and the last bus is at 6pm, and I'm not willing to pay 150 some bucks for a parking pass. Plus, I don't think I'd really fit in with the group. They're real “artsy”, like challenging conventions, and think the more violent and sexual they make it, the better it is. I don't have that opinion at all. So there I am, munching on my cheese sandwich, sitting in a corner of CSU, waving to my thousand and one acquaintances, texting my mom. I love my mom, and she's awesome, but... u know, she's got a couple decades on me. It just seems impossible for me to hold on to any friends... it can get hard sometimes. “You'll make friends when you get to college!” People told me that all the time. Well, here I am, in my sophomore year... yeah, look at all of them.
