- Come up with an idea for my bio research project
- Buy new shoes from Scheel's with my gift card
- Finish Corie's PFLAG scholarship form
- Bring dress clothes back with me to school
Well, that's not a terribly LONG list of things to do, but, damn, its a lot of work for those few things. Granted, buying new shoes and gathering dress clothes won't be terribly difficult, but the other three . . . *sigh*
So yeah, I talked to Dr. Murch-Shafer and she wants me to know what I want to do for my project by Tuesday, when we're scheduled to meet about Research Seminar. I mean, I have a few ideas already, but I don't know how feasible they are, if they'd fulfill the requirements, or if they'd even be possible. I just wish I had some more examples, or could bounce ideas off of someone before I have to actually choose.
And I just got done talking with Doc, and my progress on my one-man show determines whether or not I can be in the Spring play. I really don't like the idea of NOT being in it. I don't want my theater experience of my senior year to be merely two miniscule supporting roles. I want to go out with a bang. I want to do any shows I possibly can. How would it look to grad schools when they see that I had all these leads freshman year, but got tiny roles my senior year?
And, while we're on the topic, I keep getting compliments at rehearsals for how well I'm doing at the dancing. First, Claire is telling me how easily the dancing seems to come to me, then Lindsay is telling me how she thinks I'm the best guy dancer in the show. As a long-time dancer herself, I really value her opinion. Yet Michelle, the choreographer, keeps bringing Kirk up as an example to teach us dances. And in the event that Kirk isn't available, she brings up Greg. And, no, that's not all, during a dance break in the opening of act II, she has half the couples do all the dancing, while the other half sit on chairs and watch. Kirk and Greg are up there dancing. I'm sitting in a chair watching . . .
With that embarrassment, ON TOP of Tommy and others getting solos left and right while I have two brief duets (and one is merely as Kirk's back up/harmony) and a short solo, I'm just wondering what's going on. I mean, I keep getting told that I'm good. I feel like I'm good. I know I'm good. So am I getting the shaft so much lately? I mean, if I can't even get major roles at Dana college, how am I going to get anything in the real world? It's a HUGE blow to my confidence.
Ugh, I don't have time to dwell on this shit. I have so much else to do, but its so frustrating! I can't get it out of my head. UGH.
Oh, on a better note, I beat Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines last night. Very cool ending. And only one of 6 possible ones. I started a new game as a Malkavian. Because Malkavians are all insane, and have very different abilities from Toreador (my original character's clan), the 2nd time through should prove to be very different. I'm really wondering how I'm going to get through some of the battles without Celerity(a super-speed power), but stealth missions will be infinitely easier with Obfuscate(an invisibility power). Plus, my computer goes all jerky when Celerity is activated, so maybe it'll run better if I don't have the power. We shall see. Hell, I don't even know if I'll have time to play with all this stuff I have to do.
And for the past week, whenever I'm listening to music on my computer, I just trun on shuffle, and let it play. As I have 91+ hours of music on my computer, it should be quite a while before anything repeats. When setting it on shuffle to play a single CD, it plays through the songs, and then stops when all the songs are played. Well, I know for a fact that there are songs on my computer that have not been played, and I JUST heard a song repeated . . .
Shuffle my ass . . .
Oh, and the PSP will be out in March for the not-low-at-all price of $250. While the idea of a portable sony system sounds interesting, that price is absurd when people can just purchase a game-boy DS for what? $100 less than that, with a larger library? And a Gameboy Advance SP for $150 less?
Come on, Sony, you have to do better than that. And I want to play the FFVII prequel, and I'll be damned if I have to pay $250 for the system just to play it.
Although the PSP does play movies (including FFVII: AC) and also plays music downloaded onto it (like an MP3 player or ipod, I think). Meh, its still a lot of money. That price better drop damn fast.
