The non-long awaited update part 1

Okay so that title doesn't make any sense what so ever but whatever.
I'm trying to write this now because I can't sleep, even though I'm exhausted and the episode of Angel I'm trying to watch isn't loaded yet.
I've been using Angel to avoid my tons of homework. I just can't bring myself to do it. No matter how hard I try...I manage to avoid.
I admit the shiny new macbook isn't helping but still.

When I look at the list of stuff I have to do for school it doesn't seem like a lot but it turns out being a lot.
It doesn't help that Mondays and Tuesday I'm at school for over 12 hours including travel.

I'm going to try and get some done between classes tomorrow before I have to get downtown for the field trip my FACTS class is taking. (i hate FACTS by the way)

Here's how my classes are going at the moment.....

Mondays....
are evil. No breathing room what so ever. One class to another class to a tutorial.
My acting class is way hard. It's hard to describe, all very touchy feely and what you feel and all that stuff and I just don't get it. I'm one of only two people in the class who has never taken formal acting training and I'm also one of the youngest in my class.
I'm just starting to get comfortable with them and trying to be more open but it's taking a lot of time especially if we only have the class once a week.
Also not allowed to wear shoes or socks, i'm not very comfortable with that and I keep them folded under me.

Origins is okay. I find ancient greek plays harder to read then Shakespeare. I'm mostly skimming through them and reading the detailed summaries I find about them and it's getting me by.
That's really it about it.

Tuesdays...
are less active but way longer than mondays.
I have my stagecraft practical at 8:30.
We rotate through wardrobe, carpentry and lighting. I got wardrobe first, tomorrow's my last class in it. I've discovered that my path doesn't lie anywhere near the costume room. I suck at sewing, whether by hand or using the machine. I can't even mix paint for a color wheel right, I was the last person to do it, it took me three, three hour classes to do a basic one.

I then have a three hour break between classes where I wish I could go home. I tried to just sit and relax under a tree but the two times I did that I got attacked by Jesus people (Have you been saved? Do you go to church? - Depends, what answer will make you go away) and now it's to cold anyway. So last week I just wandered around the campus for three hours because there never seems to be somewhere to sit down anytime I'm looking. Unless it's the fifth floor of the library which is kinda scary.

THOUGH, highlight of my week last week. I was wondering through the theatre and film section of SCOTT library (the big one) and I found all these Playbills from the 1970's (the programs on Broadway). They have the original Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar and Equus just sitting there. So tempted to steel them, but I won't. I keep planing to get pictures but i forget my camera. Tomorrow.....

Then I have to sit through FACTS also known as Arts and Ideas. The most pointless course ever. Every Fine Arts student has to take it and it's annoyingly boring. I'm so glad I have my laptop now so I can do some work in that class instead of fall asleep like I did last week.

Then the three hour bus ride home on the most ineffective bus system ever. Potential commuters listen, if you have a choice live on res. (not that I did) DO IT. Unless you live like 5 minutes from the school and don't have to take 8:30 classes. You also miss out on a lot of stuff living on campus. So many opportunities missed. Like "Oh we're looking for a couple of people to be on a special backup list incase someone misses crew. It's a great way to get yourself recognized in the department. Oh wait it takes you three hours to get here if there's no traffic? oh sorry." this has happened a couple of times to me, or everyone is friends because they met in the dorms and you only ever see them in class for the couple of hours.

Though, probably none of my homework would get done if I was living on res because my mom wouldn't be there. I'd be sitting watching tv or movies on my computer till dawn.

to be continued....
