The Last Show

I'm kinda sad right now because the play that I was working on just had its last show today. I remember being nervous coming into it just to find out that everyone was cool. It was especially interesting because I found out that I had ties to a couple of the cast members. I'll miss clownin' with the fellas backstage. I had to come home to some homework instead of going out, but I hope to see everybody again. Perfect cast, crew, and good times. ;)

Worst Day of My Life

This has been the worst day ever!!!! My laptop, which carried my Comp 105 and LIBS class papers (not to mention all of my music, pictures, etc.), decided that today would be the day to quit on me. I've never wanted to harm an object so bad in my life. It wouldn't start up so I had to go take it and get it fixed only to find out that it will take days for a repair. Writing Professor Lunn's paper from scratch, again, is currently not my favorite thing in the world. Neither is losing all the work I did for the I-Search paper. Here's me hoping for my computers' speedy recovery... or else!

End of Semester Work Load

Things on my plate at the moment:

- Comp 105 final paper and porfolio

- Professor Lunn's 5-7 page paper

- Philosophy paper and quiz

- Sociology presentation/ book to complete

- 6-12 page paper for History and quiz tomorro

- Stage manager for play which starts performances this week

SNOW!!!!

Yea!!!! I finally saw snow this weekend. Yes, I am the crazy person who loves snow. I'm always the one to jump for joy because we are expected to receive six or more inches of this freezing goodness. Everyone else I know, except school kids trying to get the day off, looks at it as a death sentence---as if life doesn't start up again until March. I, on the other hand, will be loving every minute of driving through snow showers and having surprise "snow war" attacks with the neighborhood kids. Except for the loss of feeling in numerous body parts because of the freezing cold, winter can be fun right? I can sense the shaking of heads and the longing for spring colors.

Old Dogs

Contrary to my previous New Moon experience, I actually had a good one going to see Old Dogs. It is a Disney movie starring John Travolta and Robin Williams among others. It is rare for my mom to want to see a movie so when she begged me to go, I went. The movie was actually funny, but the funniest thing was watching my mom throughout the whole thing. She has this thing about laughing at things that no one else sees as funny. She was laughing from beginning to end and it was high-larious. When she started to turn red and tear up a little, we both broke out in hysterical laughter. I should have filmed it. Any other time she would have been sleep from the start of the previews all the way up to the end credits.

New Moon

Seeing the new edition to the Twilight saga, New Moon, was actually one of the worst experiences that I have ever had in a movie theater. My sister and a friend decided to buy me a ticket to the midnight opening of the film. I had never been to a sold out first showing of a movie, so I thought that it would be fun. I was wrong. It was so crowded, twenty minutes before the movie was about to start, that we all had to sit apart. Because of the kind of showing that it was, there were like thirty minutes of extra commercials. When the movie did finally start, people started screaming and giving high fives. The noise didn't just end there though. Every time a shirt was taken off or something else happened, there was that same noise again. I found myself trying to block out the noise for the bulk of the time instead of paying great attention to the film. So, I have no other choice than to see it again, but I'm gonna wait until the buzz mellows out.

Thanksgiving Day

As usual, Thanksgiving at my house was full of chaos. Twenty plus people came that day, which was actually less than usual. My day went a little something like this:

~work, store run, work, babysit, work, sing happy b-day to my grandma, work, eat, watch glee, babysit, cleanup, attempt to sleep.~

Everyone did not leave my house until about 3:30am, so sleepy time wasn't happening until 4. Looking back at my day, I really did have a lot of fun. There were youngsters running around, card games being played, my sister's love life unravelling, teenagers playing video games, etc. I have to say that it didn't completely suck, but let's wait until next year for another trial.
