Give me beer!!

Whew! I've survived 4 exams in the last 3 days, plus the closing weekend of our show. I can't believe it's done. As far as the tests go, I know I aced two of them. The other two weren't my best work, but I don't think they will be grade destroyers. As for the show... well, it's hard to believe it's over. I'm relieved to have more time to get caught up with the rest of my life, but I'm sad it's over. The show itself was great, but the cast and crew were what really did it for me. They're an amazing bunch and I'm going to miss being around them so much.

All I have left this week is a lab write up that should only take me 10 hours or so... Oh, and of course I still have to teach my dance class tonight and dance at the Caspian tomorrow night.

Then it's on to my favorite holiday of the year! I can't wait for the parties on Saturday! (Oh, and Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and next Saturday!) Woohoo!

Halloween Costume from last year.

Blah.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.






Oh, and blah. Back to studying.

According to director TK "'Shopping and F*cking" is a bold social commentary on our society, as people become more detached emotionally while still maintaining physical contact---interactions that are sexual but not personal, "transactions." It presents the notion that people are beginning to live life in the fictional stories that they tell themselves; stories with happy endings and contrived characters; stories that shield them from the pain of the real world."


Though shocking and brash, this play is a dark and dramatic comedy, featuring 5 characters, each of them trapped in their own world, detached from the others yet unable to cope without them. It is raw, sexually graphic and not for the faint of heart, yet open to anyone who can see beyond the shock, anyone who is willing to truly examine the nasty side of our consumerist society.

Holy Crap!!

I have no life. Just when I thought I'd have a reprieve, instead I have new activities to consume my time. Blah. One day I will catch up with myself.

BWAAAHAHAHAHA!

Yay! So my prof for biophysical chem decided that we didn't have the necessary information in order to answer one of the questions. So he threw it out and that bumps my B up to an A-! *happy dance* It's still not perfect, but I'm definitely not complaining about an A-. Plus, I got an A on my analytical chem quiz.

To top that off, my Bellydance Fitness Fusion class went really well tonight. I was a little bit worried, because I was a bit scatter-brained, but I had four more people sign up.

And to round off a generally good day, rehearsal for Shopping and Fucking went incredibly well tonight. We even got out early! I'm so impressed with our actors, they've come an incredibly long way in a rediculously short period of time.

All in all, a good day.

?

So I found the video on youtube of me and my girls bellydancing. I put it on myspace and on facebook. Is there an easy way to get that embedded on my blog?

Fsck!

I got my first B on a chemistry exam yesterday. Biophysical Chem, to be specific. Proof positive that sleep is necessary for me to do well. Staying up until 3:30am the night before finishing my theatre project was a bad idea. On the upside, I did fairly good job on my theatre. We had to design our "perfect theatre" and draw it out to scale. That's a scary undertaking for someone who has no experience in drafting and tends to be a perfectionist. Too fun. Maybe I'll scan it in once I've finished it.

The other thing to note is that I'm fairly certain that my grade is still one of the highest in the class. Rough f'ing day, yesterday. At least rehearsal was fun.

Today, we took our first quiz in Analytical Chem. That one was a lot less scary. Which comes as a major surprise. I guess we'll see...
