WOW

Hi

I'm not expecting anyone to read any or (certainly not) all of this, but here it is anyway.

I really wanted to make a procrastinatory blog post last night, but I was so short on time, I didn't even have time to procrastinate. I mean, really.
I miss YouTube. I miss being able to spend hours on a video. I have been so busy lately, and I wish I had more time to talk to Gabby and the scones. Here's why I've been busy:

Well, I've been busy since day one. I mean, I'm in a conservatory. Go fig.
But this week has been INTENSE, and the third day has only just started. Tues is one of my "days off" (from classes), and yesterday I felt like I hadn't been to classes in weeks because I've been doing so much.
First of all, it's Writing week in HDL, which is a hybrid history-writing class. We have our first essay, so I had to have a draft of that in today.
Tech week started on Monday, so that's fun. A typical schedule for me is classes from 8:30 to 3:40 (with an hour lunch break), and then go to the bus stop at 4:45 and get back from tech at 11:15ish. So on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I literally have two hours free in my day to eat lunch, do homework, breathe. I couldn't even take a shower last night.
Then, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have to spend as much time as possible on my Autodrama, which is a performance piece, for my acting class. It's our midterm, so it's a big deal. I spent hours on it yesterday, and I might be a quarter of the way done. That's why the cancelled acting class is great: I have from 12:50 to 4:45 to eat lunch and work on my Autodrama or my essay.
This isn't even one of those techs where I can work on stuff backstage- I do stuff the ENTIRE TIME. I'm props master, as well as Assistant Stage Manager, as well as onstage crew. It really is a blast and takes my mind off of everything else, but it's just a lot. Once this week is over, things will quiet down a little, since the Autodrama will be out of the way, my essay gets turned in Monday, and we start performances on Monday as well.


How do I have time to type all of this? My Voice and Speech class got separated into two groups for today, and I'm the second one, so I go up at 12:05. This is a very good day. I need down time like no other. This is also one of the first days that I've felt sleep deprived. Since I care about the work I'm doing, I normally organize myself pretty well to get in 8 hours, sometimes more, but ... Yeah, I'm frazzled.

I can already feel where I'm going to be sore from yoga. I like being sore, though.
We're working on inversions, so we're upside-down a lot.


Also, in reference to this long entry, I haven't had a chance to write in my written journal, so I think I have to turn to typing them out. So maybe this is more for me than for you.

Shit, man. This is long.
