Long Time Coming

Oh my. It's been such a long time since I last posted that I almost forgot that I have a blog. Well, in the land of Me, this is how things are going.

1.) Life with Hemingway is a little rough, because of the distance (natch), but otherwise good. He'll be visiting this weekend, which leads me into...

2.) ...Senior Project Land! Which is why I haven't been posting much. The problem with being a theatre major with an acting emphasis is that I only have three weeks in which to accomplish my senior project, which is essentially a thesis with a shitload of verbatim memorization on top of it (because, obviously, I need to memorize the script I'm acting from). The only bright spot was when I described the project to my sister over the phone and then told her that I have to defend my project to a committee, she finally began to take me seriously. SHE didn't have to write a thesis. SHE only had to do a Capstone paper. Trust me to choose the only school in the world that requires undergrads to to a thesis. I should've gone to Lycoming.

3.) Apartment-Land was okay until this morning, when I discovered that one of my roommate's cats threw up in my shoe. My expensive Born sneaker that I bought so I would have everyday shoes that don't fall apart. She and I will be having a discussion about this later. The other roommate and I are both anti-cat within the apartment, because these cats are spoiled and not very well-behaved. See also, one of them throws up on a regular basis. That cannot be healthy.

4.) Thanksgiving Break is next week!!! And I just found out that two of my afternoon classes are cancelled on Tuesday, so I may not have to leave reallyreally late after all. I may be able to leave after Dr. Fran's class, where we will have hopefully gotten all the way to Hamlet in our discussions. I say this with enormous optimism - and now we have to spend less time talking about Faustus, which I object to on principle. I LIKE Faustus and I'm bored with Hamlet. Bonus: I may get home in time to watch evening TV with my parents, which is fun because they understand that I like to make fun of things while watching.

5.) I have discovered what I am making everyone for Christmas. This is the first year EVER that I've known what to get Dad for Christmas.

6.) No access to Internet in my apartment makes me grumpy. It makes me grumpier to know that my roommate (the one with the cats) is in charge of that and she won't offer me any solutions except, "Well, the password I made up works on MY computer." I know what I'm doing. I know how to work wireless. I even went to CIS on campus to ask for advice and they said I was right - so listen to me and contact the provider to get the REAL password. Oy.

7.) Which means that if I want to work on my project, I have to lug my laptop to campus to set-up, which irks me. I realize it's more portable than a PC, but it's still a big laptop and rather heavy. And the bag is awkward to carry, too. Mrr.

I think that's all for now. I may come back with another update later while I'm procrastinating, but I don't know. For now I'm off and now it's going to be opening night for my senior project. (Also known as "Communicating Doors", a murder-mystery/farce/comedy/time-travel play. Yes, it does sound fun, doesn't it?
