The razor-thin edge of forever.
I've been busy.
Today I took the AP Literature & Composition exam. With any luck, the person who grades my free-response essays will give me a thumbs-up, I'll score a 5, and I can take down nine credit hours at University of Iowa. Speaking of which, all of my UofIowa information is sent out, so I'll just find out now where I'll be placed in the dorms. I should see if there's a University of Iowa livejournal community. Maybe there'll be people I can meet through that who aren't freaks. Actually, I'm thinking about finding another blog source when I move out there.
Lit Mag work has stepped up in a major, major way. We have most of the submissions that we'll be taking. Which means my work will begin soon. And with my acting final finished last night (a scene from Whose Life Is It Anyway? memorized and performed in maybe a half hour, with some minor readthroughs previously. I'm on top of my game), I'm going to be shifting into cruise control for school for the rest of the year, minus my Drama 2 play A Midsummer Night's Dream. Cap, gown, and tassel ordered. I've got to call off Honors Night and graduation with work. I've got a second job at Greenfield Village, or "The Henry Ford", as it's corporately-called. I need to get cracking on graduation party plans.
Last night was the Superintendant Honors Night, which I took Ms. Cookinham too. That was really nice. I was actually genuinely moved before I went on to speak about her. In an example of dramatic irony, my ex sat with Mr. Ikens across from me.
What else have I done since I haven't updated? Helluva lot, really. Saw Twelfth Night at Henry Ford Community College. Eh. Had some good stuff, some bad stuff. Lackluster performances. And in lackluster performances, we had Murder, You Must Be Kidding! at Edsel Ford that closed last Saturday. What a way to end my acting career at Edsel. You want to go out with a bang, a tremendous orchestration of lights and sound and action and what really happened is we went out with a fizzle. Like stale Coke that's passed its expiration date.
I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Look for more updates in the future in the bright, exciting world of Matt Nelson.
Maybe some good shit, too.
