i ordered some stuff from body art forms last night! i got a 10g taper, clearskins (!!!), and this in blue. i also got 2 cbrs, since i need metal for after i first stretch, but those are boring. i'm so excited to be able to wear earskins!! they should be here monday or tuesday and oh man i am so stoked. i know i stretched to 12g not even two weeks ago but it seems like my ears are self-stretching. it only took me two weeks to go from 14g to 12g, but that didn't hurt at all besides a slight pinch, but i'm pretty sure that pinch is normal. hopefully i'll be able to stretch up to 10g whenever my package comes!
i stopped by the scene shop today cause i wanted to see if they were doing sign ups for tech for the show this fall, and it's already filled. : / the show's called "colored girls" but apparently the set's really minimal and most of it's just lighting, which isn't something i've done before. i'm sort of considering doing lighting for it, but i dunno. we're also having tanys (theatre association of new york state) here again this year, but i think the only open positions for that are asm and lighting people, plus i think one of the ace students is already probably going to do lighting for that, since she needs hours for practicum or for whatever classes she's taking. so that kind of sucks. i guess i can hang around the shop and help out all the youngins who aren't too familiar with all the power tools and such, so i guess that'll be fun. and hopefully next semester we'll have a show where there's more set construction and where we need more than 2 people for run crew.
world civ today made me feel like i was in high school again. seriously, we do worksheets almost every class, and half the time i'm not even sure how they relate to the class. one of them was about sojourner truth. in the first week of world civ. what?
scruggs is supposed to be a good teacher and i'm trying to like the course, but i can't stand doing worksheets this often. once in a while is okay, but i hate that they're every single day. and if you don't finish them in class, they become homework. this is exactly why i hated high school, i can't stand doing busywork like this. i'm seriously not learning anything from telling you what the general topic of articles 6-25 of hammurabi's code are. it's just driving me mad. there seem to be a lot of 18 year olds in the class so i guess they probably don't mind, since they just left high school anyways, but for someone who's been out of high school for two and a half years? not cool. : /
and now i must take tqc's advice and drink my rum. good night!
eta: i also got a new book this morning! it's embolus by gary birken. i read another book of his, final diagnosis, and it was pretty good. i wanted to get another stephen king book (either carrie or pet sematary, but the library at school didn't have either). it was on my list of books i want to read, which is now down to 64.
