Well then, after a chaotic week things have settled. Not really but they've reached a low ebb for a few minutes.
- My acting prof told me I need to decide how far I want to go with acting and just, go for it. So how far do I want to go? This is so bratty and not at all what I should be concentrating on, but I keep thinking how much easier it would be if I was glamour beautiful. I suppose it's for the best though because I have to be really good and I can't coast with looks which is better in the long run.
- On Friday I woke up at 4 a.m. to watch the pope's funeral mass. That was something I did not want to miss. It was beautiful. Particularly that his coffin was a plain cypress box on the ground. How's that for humility? And the Byzantine funeral rite chant. I love the Byzantine rite! It's so gorgeous!
- Then Saturday was...the dance. After much hectic and confused panic in getting ready we managed to have a good time. I went with Mark and first we went to Bella Ciao (the name doesn't make sense to me either) and I can't even tell you how intimidated I was. Really nice resturants scare the heck out of me because I still feel like a little kid that's doing something wrong. Is that a youngest child thing? Anywho, my stunning dress made me feel like I could pretend to be equal to the situation. It was a classic deep red strapless gown and I felt so elegant. My dinner was Scottish salmon. That's what the menu said. Not Irish or English, Scottish. So I obviously had to get that. (Now I have to thank Mark with a dinner or something. Doooooi) Maureen kept trying to get Mark to bump back the reservations because she didn't want me to miss half the dance. Why didn't all the roomies eat together?! You got me. We all wanted to. Grr, well, now we just have to make plans to hang out together before the year is over. I'm gonna miss my roomies!!!!! *sigh*
So that was my weekend. Nothing really dramatic, just fun. End of year is nigh and I'm looking forward to being done with this extraneous semester so I can get going with my studies, I'm going to miss my two wonderful roommates so very very much I can't even deal, and I can't wait to see Shannon because I MISS HER!
