I'm waiting to get my midterm back and my Spanish test back and I have my Math test on Monday. YIKES! That's TOMORROW!!! *clears throat* Yes I always plan out my time very well. HA.
I've broken down and joined Facebook. *hangs head in shame*
In the life of Jess... not much new is happening. I got my script—I'm going to have a lot of fun playing Dolly. She is easily confused. Whee!
I'm going to Washington DC over Christmas Break. That should be fun! Me and Jeff are going cheaply: bus there and back, ride the busses there, out-of-the-way Days Inn...

AOL
I saw Arsenic and Old Lace (AOL) at Playhouse Square yesterday. It was really quite funny. My only complaints were that A) the accents were neither uniform nor consistent, B)... hmm, I really did like it. No B. Two people I knew in the cast! Weird feeling. Like, I'm more in the theater than just watching it. Gave me hope.
Long day ahead of me, lots of schoolwork. I have a 400-page tomb full of Latin (literally) to tackle for my term paper. Ai yae yae.
118.5 this morning. I fit into a nice sheath dress yesterday to go to the play. I'm getting happy with my weight.

Dolly
WOOT! I've been cast as Dolly in Ravenscroft at Clague Playhouse. It looks like it's going to be so much fun! We start rehearsal at the end of November. http://www.clagueplayhouse.org/ we open January 11th.
In other news: I was 119.5 this morning. Still better, in general, than I've been in the past, but I saw that cute little number 117.5 and I'd like to give it a visit again. I fit into one of my size four jeans, which also makes me happy. :-)
Went to Save Darfur benefit concert at Church on the Rise yesterday. It seemed pretty slap-dash, and turnout was pretty poor, but I admire the heart of the girl who put it all together. Go her! I've got my little bracelet thing now.
I'm going to work and then to see Arsenic and Old Lace at Playhouse Square. Looking forwards to both. Just need to keep up with homework, though! Haha.

More blog!
No, I completely ignored my schedule. Surprise surprise.
What an adventure! Well, fun, I mean.
I planned out what I need to do when for my major projects (Statistical study, history presentation, and term paper), made a chart, really was quite useless today. Now I just want to get my laundry done and watch the ballgame. And Reaper.
At 2pm I headed out to Tri-C East for my acting lesson with BZ. He's an awesome teacher. But anyway, I realized I didn't have enough cash on hand. He doesn't take credit :-P. So I think, “Hey, I'll go shopping and then do that 'cash back' thing” since I had no idea where the nearest bank or ATM was. So I buy a cute little ring and they tell me they don't do that “cash back” thing. Now upset, I drive to Tri-C since I'm running outta time. I do NOT want to be late. I decide to get the ring out of the packaging first with my pocket knife. Yes, you can see it coming. Slice. Blood. Me staring at my hand as it drips blood onto my mom's car. Me opening the door so it can dribble onto the parking lot. It was a really small cut, between my index finger and my palm, on that line. But I think there was a vein there, cause I mean it BLED. I clenched my fist and got some paper towels from the back seat, now fisting my hand around that, I tried to quickly get to my appointment. Without people staring at my bloody hands. One of BZ's other students, who I met briefly before, said hello and asked how I was doing. “Bleeding,” I smile back. She sees my hands and the drying blood. “I think she needs first aid!” She calls out. BZ provides first aid. Run hand under cold water, pressure, ointment, bandaid. I'm starting to feel weird, like I did when my blood was drawn. I sit down. Feeling slightly better. “Can you walk?” He asks. I'm determined, so I manage the 100ft hallway to the couch in the studio theater. I barely make it. About three feet away from it I couldn't really see anything. I was sweating, too. I'd hate to think it was the sight of blood. I just don't know how much I lost. I made it, as soon as I was lying down I started to feel better. Anyway, we talked about my battle plan for my theater education and eventually I headed home. First I had to call Tri-C police because in my hurry to get to my lesson with my bleeding hand, I locked my keys in my car. So two police cars came by, and the one officer let me stay in his car while they broke in. It was raining. Yeah, I had been standing in the rain with a locked car and a bandaged hand. I hoped they wouldn't question the blood spots on the upholstery and the steering wheel and the door and the small rusty-colored circle on the ground. Cause you're not allowed to have weapons on campus, and a pocket knife is definitely a weapon. The interior of the police car was pretty cool. I was in the backseat. “I'll let you out.” The officer joked after he offered the shelter. Let me tell you one thing: Don't get arrested if you're tall. I'm 5' 2” and leg room was NIL.
That's my advice of the day. Oh, that, and eat bananas with canned peaches. Mmm.
Or carrots with Caesar salad dressing as a dip. Yum.

Passing 50 post mark
Well, I'm only an hour and fifteen minutes behind schedule. But I've allocated 105 minutes later in the day as catch-up time, so I suppose all will be well (so long as I stay as behind as I am!).
Listened/watched about a quarter of last night's game. Jumped around and cheered when we won. Go Tribe! I'm starting to think we can go to distance. To the World Series? WIN the World Series? I'm afraid to consider it.
I've got a midterm next Monday. Ick. No Statistics class this Wednesday, so I'm going to have plenty of time to see various tutors and go to the gym. Looking forwards to that. I'm actually finding it harder and harder to get myself to exercise as I feel like I'm getting fit. I need to set some definite goals for myself.
Me and dad went golfing instead of seeing the movie. Dad's much better hitting the ball when relaxed then when he's out with his brother. I tend to hit my ball in a straight shot, but never very far. I'm better on the putting green. Dad had two birdies, so he was happy. We carried our clubs. Good exercise.
Had my audition Monday. I made the director laugh, so that's always a good thing. Waiting to hear about callbacks.

Move Along
Not sick anymore, really. Just remnants of a few sneezles.
I really wanted to go see a show of a friend of mine last night, but when I called for tickets, I was told they cost $30 a piece! Granted, it's dinner theater. But it's just so expensive... Can't I just bring a Lean Cuisine and get $20 tickets? I'm a waitress, I'll help serve, let me watch free!
Got some midterm grades in. Doing ok. I want to re-do my tech theater project for a better grade in case project II doesn't turn out as well as I'd hope. Monday I get my paper back in History of the Theater, hopefully, and I know I'm getting my Spanish test back. I'm guessing a 94. I know I got 6 points off and got the 2 extra credit, allowing for 2 other mistakes in the work.
Me and Dad are going to go see Michael Clayton this afternoon. It's a movie that seems to have popped out of nowhere. One moment, I'm looking to December 7th (Golden Compass opens—on my birthday!), think I know all movies opening in the next three months. Next thing, here's Michael Clayton, this top-reviewed popular one. I'll blog how it is later.
Obviously I've been kept very busy. Friday there was a motivational speaker for actors at CSU, and he motivated me. Makes sense. I've got an audition Monday and I'm going to audition for Docherty Agency on the last Wednesday of November. On Saturday, I did a scene at a little church for a prayer workshop. I wandered about a bit with the lines in the beginning, but once I found my footing, I was solid. The audience laughed a few times. Awesome feeling. All credit to the script. After that, I rushed off to work and didn't stop rushing till 4pm. Made $72.62 in tips, which is more than twice what I usually get. I was out-of-my-mind busy. Last time I take the back room.
Yes, it's godforsakenly early in the morning. I set my alarm for 5:40 so I could get a jump start on my work for the day. Blogging was included in that list. Until next time...

Oy vey.
I'm sick. Hardly any fever to speak of, which pisses me off. I look like crap, feel like crap... but I've got number to say, “Look here! See! I'm not faking it.”
I've got too much homework. Then again, maybe not... all I have to do left is write a 4-5 page paper and read 35 pages for Wednesday. That's all that's due.
Jeff's last weekend at work. He needs more time to spend on his homework. I'm so glad he finally quit. It should take some pressure off and allow him to concentrate on his studies.
Midterms sneaking up. Final projects beginning to peek with ugly faces over the horizon.
That's really all.

Maybe not all Mondays.
So much happens in so short a time. Monday wasn't as evil as some others. I've already gotten a good grade on my math exam (not because of my skills: I got 75% raw score. But after you add on the extra credit and points for teacher mistakes, it comes out to 92%. Now that's cool.), so I blew off the retest was outta there in no time. I did the speaking assessment, which required me to go to the library and make a recording of myself saying these lyrics and stuff. Only thing is, the media lab is just as quiet as the rest of the library, so I muttered my Spanish as clearly as I could. Kinda embarrassing.
I'm in theater deprivation mode. I'm also having a hard time deciding on my major. I know I want to be an actor, but there's a lot of ugly stuff in my way. I mean, I can't sing, dance, and I won't strip. That handicaps me. Also, there's the life of an actor, vs. acting. Can the wonderful joy of doing a play outweigh all the crap that comes with doing it as a profession?
Woke up early this morning. I don't really have to get moving for another hour, so here I am clattering away on my computer.
Www.nhc.noaa.gov tells me there's a couple storms in the Atlantic, nothing really developing though. Eastern Pacific doesn't have anything. What, is hurricane season over? We only got to M! So much for global warming's effect on weather. On the other hand, China's gotten slammed with some nasty cyclones. I wonder if all the effect takes place there.
Still struggling with weight, but that's nothing new. Was 121 this morning. Keep in mind I'm only 5' 2”.
