So yeah . . . some interesting developments lately. I don't have much time to go into them, so they'll be brief. Feel free to comment or ask for further info.
I had a meeting with Doc about my one-acts. He was so impressed by them that he is now nudging me towards going to grad school for directing . . . instead of acting, saying that I show tremendous promise and talent as a director, even with the minimal (read, non-existant) supervision, teaching, and direction from him. I have the intelligence to make it, and there is a greater need for directors rather than actors. He added that he has not seen much growth in me as an actor in the past year, and wants me to strongly think about going into directing.
Physiology: Had a test last week. I thought I did well. I flunked. Why? Good question. Wish I could tell ya. It frustrated and pissed me off, so I skipped the next two class periods. Smart thing? No, not at all. But what's done is done. One more test, the lab notebook grade, and the final, and that's all I have. Things are not looking good.
World Civ: Apperantly the rought draft for the research paper was due on Friday. I thought it was due tomorrow. Thus, it is late, and still not started yet. This paper was the reason I didn't pass the class last time. When will I do it? Good question. Wish I could answer that one as well.
Modern Drama: Still need to start, let alone complete, the paper that was due back in the beginning of October. That and I need to actually read the plays.
I went to the Joy for the first time ever this weekend, with Mark. Had a good time. Probably had TOO good of a time. I got wasted, which I regretted immensely the next day, and then let Mark get on me in the parking lot after the place closed. Well, maybe not let, more like, half encouraged. Fucking A. I don't know why I did it. I really don't. This is one of those situations where every move from here on out is a bad one. Huzzah to me for backing myself into another emotional corner! */sighs dejectedly . . .*
And Joe and Lindsay have been almost irritatingly giddy the past two days. Its like their in love-duvey overdrive. It's cute and all, and I'm happy that they're happy, but to be around is so often is beginning to wear thin. That, and I'm just extremely jealous that they have something so special after so little time. Hell, they're in college and convinced their soul-mates. Why do they get it so easy? */sighs dejectedly once more . . .* Once again, I'm happy for them. I really am, just wish that I could have the same thing. I think I need to get out and not be around them so much . . .
Oh, and FFXI has taken over my world yet again. Note the previous uses of FFXI emotes even as I write my blog. I think I'm going to burn myself out on it pretty soon, which will lead to another month period of moping and feeling sorry for myself b/c I have nothing to distract my thoughts . . . Hmmm . . . I'm being really negative.
I've tried to put together a schedule for myself, to help get everything back on track. I haven't decided when I'm going to start following it, which in turn makes me wonder if I'm going to start it at all. Basically, class, lunch, work out, read something for a class, do various internet thingies, chorale, dinner, work on homework for 2 hours, gaming and misc. internet till I'm tried enough to go to bed. I have specific times figured out, but I'm already late for chorale, so meh.
Apperantly I'm just not supposed to get a hair cut. Ever. I've tried several times over the past week, and every attempt meets with irritating failure. Maybe I should just stop going to Great Clips. I hate having long hair.
My quartet made it into the Sights and Sounds concert, which is awesome. We'll get to perform for 3000+ people. Go us! */psychs up*
Wells Fargo can go to hell again. They're coming up with all kinds of random charges and for some reason don't feel the need to tell me about them, so my latest bill is just insane. Fuck them. I'm getting an account at US Bank.
And that's just the tip of the iceburg for money problems. I'm drowning. I really am. And I haven't even splurged in the past 2 months! ACK! Goddamn, this is insane.
And now I really must get to chorale. I'm only gonna be 10 or so minutes late. They can deal.
