I'm sick. But I'm on theraflu. Also, I have so much homework to do, I don't foresee the end in sight- ever. But, I have to admit, I think this is good for me.
Someone once told me that if you can survive college, the real world will seem like a piece of cake forevermore.
I think that goes doubly for drama majors at nyu. I know it's only my first semester, but I also work 16 hrs a week at the NYU Computer Store. CAP21 expects top-notch results from us, and I am mentally and emotionally prepared to let it all out.
However, there are not enough hours in the day.
I kinda wish I had my old insomniatic tendencies from junior year, when I was doing Babes in Arms and Les Liaisons at Mad Cow at the same time. I would come home at 2am, and stay up til about 4 or 4:30 writing, whether online or in a journal, then get up at 5:45a to go to school. And I had afterschool rehearsals too.
Thing is, though, CAP is physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding. In the morning, all the CAP kids are downstairs eating a hearty breakfast because we know we need our protein and complex carbs and fruits and veggies and lots-o-water to survive even the first three hours of dancing.
CAP is preparing us for 8 hour rehearsal days. Which is how its done in the real world. It's pretty intense, and I savor every minute.
Our academic professors expect the same quality of work our CAP instructors expect. And each professor thinks his/her class is the most important class you are taking this semester. That's ok.
I wonder sometimes if I have a more difficult ITS teacher. I always seem to take so much time doing my work. Maybe I don't focus as well as other students. On the other hand, one kid didn't start his 30% of the class grade paper til the night before at 10:30p. Hello?!
Part of me thinks that once I finish this year, maybe even this semester, and can say I did it successfully, nothing will hold me back. I will be able to conquer the world if I put my mind to it.
Maybe pursue my Masters degree.
We'll have to see about that one.
