Bring in the Funk

Ello there.

So right now my life is in sort of a doldrom (vocabulary points for me). Anywho yea, been in sorta a funk. Dunno why, just am.

Perhaps it's because everything is winding down. It's all just a mellow blur right now. Also, I'm kinda still torn between wanting to be home and wanting to stay here. Meh.

Alrighty then, gonna try to snap outta it- on to something less melancholy (agian, vocab points for me). This weekend was once again quite enjoyable. On saturday, I joined up half way through the PDP apartment crawl- candle wax, spiked watermelon, and the indelible keystone. The PDP group is quite the cool bunch- kinda regret not finding them sooner. I believe I will be trying out for more plays through them next year- damn you theater, you (or better yet, I) just won't let go. Anywho, fun night indeed, with a bit of the awkward. Whatever- awkward is my life, chill is my game (ha lame).

Sunday I celebrated the day yea and verily- celebrated in a cemetery of all places, then at Britt's place. That was cool, although my celebrating could have easily been a contributor to my funk. Anywho, I'm done for awhile with that stuff.

Finals coming up. Chem test tomorrow. Should have studied more.

Instead Lisa and I gave me a mohawk today.

There I go again with my wonderful prioritizing.

Closing time...pack it in...hit the showers...

Frankly Scarlet

So Lauryn called me today with the idea of starting a summer band. I think it'll be cool, and I hope we can actually do it. So yea, we talked for awhile, and already came up with the name Frankly Scarlet- a snipet from the famous Gone With the Wind quote. And being the lame-o that I am, I got bored and started to design stuff. So here is a sketch that would be cool- even if we don't form the band I still wanna make a shirt outta it ha. I drew it based off a popular movie still...it still needs some work, mostly with the lettering and making the woman look more womanly, but yea you get the idea.

Just a couple more weeks- very excite. However, I've basically checked out- can't function- lost all motivation. I'm just really looking forward to summer...I believe it twill be most awesome. All I've been doing is thinking and planning stuff to do (instead of focusing on homework ha). But yea, I'm itching for the end-(May 7).

Take it easy folks. We're at the homestretch.

Back to Normal

"Sweet Wounded Jesus!" -Bat Boy Cast...we hots <3

So the musical was this weekend, and might I say it rawked a couple sox off. This whole experience was such a blast- it's really hard to see it come to an end. I enjoyed myself through every second of the process, and I can safely say that my cast (and crew) mates had some of the greatest chemistry that I have felt in a show in a while. Being in this production made me realize just how happy I am to be in college...it's all good right about now...

So now it back to old routine. I dunno, it's gonna take some time getting used to not seeing the same people every night and having a lot more freetime again. As effed up as my schedule was for the last month or so, I really got used to it and hardly minded- it was all too fun to care about the late nights...and the missed classes... Anywho, to sum it up this weekend was marvelous- hometown visitors, two facemelting performances, and some great times at the cast parties. Hope to keep in touch with the BB cast/crew- cool people indeed.

Now for homework...maybe not...

Tech Week

...And commence of the hitting of the fan with shit. This week is really going to be a clusterfuck, but hopefully one which will end with an awesome show. There is a whole lotta stuff, both for the show and school, that needs to get done this week. So instead of actually putting a dent in my massive to-do list, I'm gonna tell you about my upcoming week. I am such a great prioritizer.

MONDAY- class registration, practice

TUESDAY- ATMS 100 online hw due, REACT meeting 10AM, practice

WEDNESDAY- CHEM 104 thq due, DANC critique due, cast dinner, CHEM 104 test, practice

THURSDAY- GEOL 100 hw due, CHEM 105 online hw pt1 due, practice

FRIDAY- CHEM105 online hw pt2 and write up due, performance

SATURDAY- performance

Practices this week are going from 6/7 to whenever we finish. Long nights every night, which suck considering my test and mandatoy (8AM) lab this week for the one class that I really should be caring about. A lot, a lot, A LOT to still iron out, but I'm still thinking that we'll be able to put something pretty sweet together. Whatever happens, it's all good- we hots. Alrighty then, class at one tomorrow (I'm skipping GEOL (9AM) again- lovely).

BAT BOY: The Musical
April 4 and 5 - 8PM
Gregory Hall (112)
tickets $8 at the door

Deux...

Another one from last saturday...we fit a lot of people in that kitchen

Anywho, so you know how every other week has gone by shreally fast...well of course this one is painstaking slow. It sucks so diddly-damn much.Two more days- here's what they look like:

Thursday: 10AM GEOL- 12PM CHEM- 1PM ATMS
8-11PM BB dance rehearsal

Friday: 8AM CHEM LAB- 12PM CHEM
3PM- heading on home :)

Very excite for friday, mostly since I don't have to take a bus (thank you Schaefer). Done with midterms as of today- lovely. The weather is getting a lot better...warm enough for me to wear the cutoffs.

Makes me smile...

I miss home, but once I get their, I'll remember why I like college so much. I think a week is a perfect time to be home- not too long (like winter break). Don't think summer won't be too bad, though, seeing as I'll (hopefully) have a job, and therefore money. Meh...

One Week...Shit's Weak

Apparently I like to climb things at times when I probably shouldn't in the least. O and that wet spot tis not pee- I guess I "let" Hania spill her rum and coke on me after I spilled mine on her...so I guess that's why my pants smelled really sweet in the morning ha.

So anywho, this week was pretty fun, mostly due to the last part of it aka the weekend. Yet another fast one- paid my March bill, did some homework, took some quizzes, the usual. Friday I had to watch a danse recital at the Krannert for my DANC100 class- pretty cool and pretty creepy at the same time. I guess you really can do anything on stage and deem it modern dance. Then I went to a friend's place to watch some TV, specifically Legends of the Hidden Temple <3.

Saturday was a real trip. Started off with working on some set pieces for the musical at my director's haus- paper machéd a huge rock and sewed a few animal tails for the orgy scene ha. Then back to the dorms for a bit- skipped on dinner, then back to the aforementioned apartment for some cast bonding. Twas fun to the utmost- apples to apples, circle o death, never have i ever- all with the requisite booze. Safe to say that it was a pants-shittingly drunk night (if you didna guess, that's where the pic is from). Like unofficial all over again, except better- schwasted by like 10:30, and the night wasn't over. After bonding/liver pwnage, we jumped on the 22 to yet another party, where we continued to drink up. So yea, good night all in all...great friggin' night.

Alrighty folks, I'm realy cutting into my midterm-studying time...right...

...one week til spring break...yip

Defrosting

Engineering Quad- Orange Sculptue Thing.

So anywho, it is starting to warm up down here, although we can just as easily go back to our perpetually frigid phase- let's hope not. The weather today was maravilloso- not too hot, and a light breeze at that. Liz and I sat at our regular spot on a cement-slabbed heater and I finished my lunch while we talked and soaked up the loverliness of spring.

This week was pretty fast, like all others. Unofficial was this weekend- ha. Jess came down to visit, but she gave up drinking for Lent, so she drove while Eliza and I wet our whistles. Yea, so it was cool, but I could have easily gone for a movie and cake baking night over mingling with the inebriates on Green Street any day :). I actually enjoyed the day after unofficial more- breakfast at Bob Evan's (at like 2PM). Then later that night, I went to a party with the theater company. That was a good time- not too drunk, but right at that perfect buzz.

Anyways, two more weeks 'til Spring Break (CABOOOO!!! lol). I can wait, but I do indeed miss home. O and it's me berfday soon, so that'll be fun.

Just gotta keep it goin'. It's all good right now. Still smiling.
