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”.

Mondays are Evil

I'm really starting to come to the conclusion that Mondays are evil. My last two have been pretty awful. I didn't get into Bus Stop, and I did really bad on my math test. *checks grade online* Only the grade from the first quiz online. Ahhh...

I'm waiting for Jeff to call. He said somewhen around 9:30. After I talk to him, I'm going to clean the gerbil cage, exercise, and then have lunch and talk to Jeff again. It's nice when we're both home.

I also like checking www.nhc.noaa.gov. Right now, there are two potential tropical storms and one real one in the Atlantic. It has been resonably busy this year. So far we're to K, Tropical Storm Karen. She's way out there still though.
