School days @_@
HOLY HELL. I mean, yeah, I really missed school, but DAMN I'm never not busy now.
So apparently I signed up for a class that I needed an entire list of prereqs to attend. Yeah, basically the list included EVERY single other theatre class I HAVEN'T taken.
The teacher, who was my teacher last year as well, let me know that in my first class with her (I WOULD have had two classes with her, dammit - I LOVE this teacher). So I spent the next ten minutes running frantically around school because my problem was this:
I am still on my parent's car insurance - granted, this will not be going on for much longer, HOWEVER, I want to stay with them as long as I possibly can. As I'm currently saving for a car, I need every extra penny I can get (and for things like, ya'know, rent and food and those silly things). BUT in order to STAY on my parent's insurance, I must be a full time student (we really have no idea why they didn't kick me off last semester, but I am not going to push that this time).
SO, without that class, I was 3 units short of fulltime and therefore fucked. I ran around with wild eyes and panicked breath begging people to tell me if there was a class available at this time that I could sign up for. Most of the people in the Theatre Department avoided me for a week after that, I think. >_>
I got lucky and a professor allowed me into his Stage Lighting class at that time (which is cool, because I need that class for my major anyway). The down side is that the class is only two units long (I can't imagine why, I'm playing with so many hazardous things in that class o.O).
So how am I getting the last 1 unit?
I'm teching the school musical! JOY. I mean, yeah, joy on some levels, because I am really, REALLY excited to be involved with theatre again, even if it's not onstage. NOT so much joy because a): I've never really been so interested in actually doing the behind the scenes stuff for theatres and b): I now have to be at school Wes., Thurs., and Fri., at 6pm, Sunday from 9am-9pm, and then during the weeks of production I need to be there on those days as WELL as Saturday for performance.
HA. HAHAHAHAHA. SO. I am now fulltime employed, a fulltime student, AND teching/crewing the musical (we're doing How to Succeed, if anyone knows what that is).
Once again, excited for the theatre aspect, but not so much for the exhaustion side. I'm already exhausted just from work and school, but it's a doable kind of death, ya'know?
*rubs eyes* Ah well, it's all worth it.
