Well the semester is nearly over and I think I may have survived. My grades are going to be the worst they've been since my return to higher education, but I did not drop anything and I won't be failing anything either. They just have to take the attendance punch in the face, but they aren't down for the count.
I've been running crew for Bat Boy, and if it wasn't for the hours I think I would want to do this forever and ever for every show. I get to do quick changes backstage. Super fun when you know what you're doing. First rehearsal was a night spent frantically searching for costumes most of which were on the other side of the stage. We shall speak no more of it.
And now. Now I'm going to do something I never ever do, but for this I think I'm going to. This summer my school is offering a study abroad program in Canterbury England. The course I would be taking is English drama, but it also takes you on visits to surrounding grad departments...Grad Schools I will be applying to sooner to rather than later.
I could go into the messy details of my mental health but really I'm over that phase in my life, the one where you make noise just for the gratification of being heard (see also my completely silent journal for the past few months) The short of it is that I desperately need a vacation. Desperately.
I'm applying for every scholarship known to man, and the financial aid will cover my airfare. That leaves me with 4,000 to come up with on my own. I cannot work full time, though I'm applying for seasonal things in town, and that will probably only raise me half of what I need. If that.
So I am asking for some help from my friends. If you are the ones inclined to give me gifts for my birthday or holiday, just give me cash. If you want to work out a loan system, that's fine too, with interest or deadlines or what have you. But please know that your contribution will probably help stabilize me for the spring semester, it would be money well lent/spent.
I love you all. Me.
