Spring Semester Woes / Triumphs

It's the end of February. It's been two months since I've been home, and we are seven weeks into the semester. It's also my fifth week of nonstop working out. Well, except that weekend in Tulsa, but even then I maintained a pretty high level of activity. I guess you could say I need a break. Luckily, Spring Break is right around the corner. But also, I'm scared of Spring Break, mostly because of what is to come afterwards.

After the break, time will start sliding and accelerating at hyperspeed. It does this every year; one minute it's the beginning of March and in the blink of an eye, finals are upon us. Not only does another class start after Spring Break, but all of my other classes will only get more challenging. In Voice and Movement we will begin poem work. Which will probably mean lots of out-of-class work on that. Kinesiology will continue to be sneaky and kick my butt. Writing for Theatre will (hopefully) continue to be relatively stress-free and fun. As Pajama Game comes closer, we will have more to work on in Stagecraft Lab, and the work we'll be doing will be more pertinent to the set. Also, Stagecraft Lecture will include a lot more work and projects and stuff, so yeah.

BUT more importantly it's great to think about all the great stuff that will be happening! One-Act rehearsals will be in full swing and we'll be doing those, which are always the most fun. On top of that, Grin and Bear It is back and ready to do shows for the semester, and I think this team will be the best yet! It's really great working with such a supportive and hilarious ensemble of people. Improv rehearsals are a highlight of my week!

Also, the sun will be out and Winter will be over. The sun is my best friend. I love the warmth, the brightness, the beauty... I could just lay out in the sun all day every day and be perfectly happy. Can we have Voice and Movement outside? Just an idea.

Anyway, that's what is in my mind right now. Spring Break, please PLEASE hurry your ass. I can't wait to go home and see friends and family and recover from all this working out and homework and waking up early and and and....

Plus I get to see Next to Normal. Which will be SO good.
