I'm basically writing this right now because if you're still checking this after a month of my not writing, you deserve SOMETHING. Anything. A dollar. A candy bar.
And since I'm not gonna ship any of those things, you're just going to have to settle for another update.
So school is in full swing. I think twenty days counts as "full swing." And in twenty days so much shit has happened that it may be double swing.
In the past month, a group of kids decided to go forth with producing "Urinetown: The Musical." Good idea? I'm not entirely sure. But the cast we got was up there if not better than the one "Assassins" elicited. Today we taught the opening number and I couldn't have been more amazed by the sounds coming out of the people who agreed to let me direct them.
Also, Veesh has been having auditions for Creative Team for the past couple weeks. It's exciting, because this year I'm auditioning to be director. It's nerve wracking, because this year auditions are extremely long. They want to be extra scrutinizing, but really, I just want to sit them down in a room and tell them why I think I'd be their best option. Because, unlike when I auditioned for Cast, this time I really do sincerely believe I'm the best option.
Call me cocky. But something tells me it's a sign of maturity that in the last year I've gotten in touch with my own sense of entitlement.
Classes are interesting. The hardest class I'm in, it seems, will be "How Imagination Grows," a class about children's literature. I'm extremely excited about it, though-- to the point where I regularly leave class with the enthusiasm that I just learned some of the general themes my creative life will focus on.
That's fucking exciting.
My psych classes are going to be needlessly time consuming. Revisiting "Mind, Brain and Behavior" should be fun and I'll definitely get more out of it this time around. "Drugs and Behavior" is going to turn out to be a waste of time, I can tell. Even if the teacher is really cool and knows a shit load about the subject matter, I don't think I'm learning anything that will stick with me in the future.
BUT, in general, I'm gonna be busy again this semester. (And with any luck, all year long.) It's stressful, and I'm sleeping very little, but if there's anything I've come to terms with while I've been in college, it's the fact that I wouldn't have it any other way.
Did I mention I have a huge, persistant cold?
