today the ninth new email on my screen announced a memorial service for my old music professor, beth bartlet. this made me really sad. (you say, well duh, mariel, of course you would be sad if someone you knew died.) but maybe i'm not sad so much as guilty? because all last fall, i really hated that woman. and for no good reason. because her class was so boring. and the most i learned in that seminar was when a grad student subbed for her when she was sick. and i was bitter because i got a B in a class that i had deemed B.S.
i don't know.
and then during a production meeting today (for my job in the costume shop) zanni told us something really frightening. her parents were evacuated from their house because of hurricane katrina, and outside their hotel in baton rouge, a sign was posted outside a church saying NEW ORLEANS IS A CITY FULL OF SINNERS AND THEY DESERVED IT.
i can't believe anyone would say that.
i'm starting to lose faith in mankind, myself included.
