AAAAAH FINALS
so yea, its finals week, i have one final left and one paper to turn in, luckily i did the paper and its decent.
for real, every single teacher and class i had this semester decided that writing papers is an important skill to learn. so basically five classes, 4 alltogether for my core classes, one a giant research paper, and about 6-8 papers for each of my gen ed classes, thats twenty two papers i had to write this semester with at least 4 being giant research ones......why am i going to school.
any teacher who wants a paper more than two pages out of me next semester is getting this reply-"oh, gee, i recently developed carpal tunnel syndrome, and as a result am no longer able to type on a keyboard"
anyway enough complaining, work is good. school will be over by today and then i just get to focus on work and West Side Story. so yay. anywho
lana and nathan come to see me on sunday night so thats super exciting and i cant wait. Baylea went out of town today, she didn't even bother asking me if I would take care of her cat, but i suppose i must. My friend Sam works at the place called pocket puppies and she ended up buying one, its name is potatoe and its about the size of a nerf football, and its sooooo tiny.
POTATOE-PANTS.

caution: bump in the road ahead
Well, i have good news and bad news and completely irrelevant news.
Good news:I got in the Senior Showcase, that means that ill be given a musical Theater scene and we perform it for lots of agents and higher ups at the end of next semester and some people who do well get called in to audition for stuff, some of us might actually get an agent and start working in Chicago, and I'm not sure but i think New York and L.A. people come too so this is gonna be an excellent opportunity.
Bad News:My adviser and I have apparently been confused about when indeed I can graduate and according to him that wont be possible until next December. That was a total bummer. But luckily I work with my brilliant friend Stacey who is learning all the ends and outs of this (stupid) curriculum and brought to my attention, these two classes i took that should have counted didn't because i suppose someone decided to take the liberty of switching my over to the 2005 program, well someone was misinformed because i specifically didn't switch over so i could count those classes for Liberal Education. True Ill still have to take some summer classes which I'm almost okay with.
...and by almost I mean that should I do well in Senior Showcase and get an Agent, that limits me to only things in Chicago and only when i don't have class. I suppose i brought this upon myself but I'm not retarded, If my adviser had told me about all these credits i am ALLEGEDLY missing I don't think i would be in this situation.
That'll be enough bad news for today thank you.
We started rehearsals on Monday and we've already got a song down and read through some scenes, and last night we learned some of the basic moves of stage combat, and after, the guy that plays Bernardo and I stayed to learn knife fighting for the stage. Its kinda like real knife fighting but spaced further apart from each and mostly trying not to hit each other. The way we learned it, it was kinda like a puzzle or game. He would take a stab at me and then i would have to move my body and block it and look for the next place to stab or cut him and so on and so forth, it was really cool but scary.
I also learned that if you ever wanna cause tons of damage, just punch or stab someone directly in the armpit. Its the easiest way to the heart and theres all kinds of nerves and stuff.
so my poor Ipod is dying for real now, no matter what earphones i put in it it wont play the right ear. and I've dropped it a couple of times. I've also been wanting a new phone lately, and in a few months ill have to get a new plan anyway, so maybe I can save up and get an Iphone. That way Ill have my music and phone with me at all times and itll all be right there in a nice little package. It'll probably never happen though, i have too much other stuff to pay for.
