Imagery, Drama, Spring Break, and my Mom
FINALLY!
THANK THE FREAKING GODS, I SURVIVED!

....*ahem*
Okay. Now that that's out of my system, HOORAY! I made it to spring break without dropping dead! Not to say it didn't almost happen once or twice. That weekend I was waiting for? Totally nothing like a weekend. I had rehearsals for 2 different plays (I got cast in An American Daughter, cause THEY FINALLY PUT THE CAST LIST UP), a paper to research, a test to study for....a ton of shit I don't even remember that I had to do. And in that time I had to find room to talk to Adam, chill out, eat, sleep and bathe. I found myself staying up at rediculously late hours just so I could have some time on my own. I'm so glad the pressure is off.
Speaking of pressure, the Vagina Monologues went over SPLENDIDLY. I was so afraid because I didn't have my monologue memorized for the longest time. "The longest time" meaning up until two days until the performance. Until I shut myself into a room inside the Campus Center and practiced it until I got it right. The play itself went over REALLY WELL. As of the friday before, we'd only had 10 tickets sold. The day of the performance, we had so many tickets sold, we had to turn people away at the doors. Largely in thanks to Student Senate and Alpha Psi Omega buying all those complimentary tickets.
There was one angry letter sent to the director of the show saying that they couldn't believe that such a vulgar play was being performed at the prestegious institution that is Heidelberg College. Which probably is what got our blood boiling enough to make it from a good show into a fabulous show.
EVERYONE did fantastically. I don't often say I kicked ass, but I kicked it. Hard. And everybody said so. I've never been fawned over like that before in my life. I owe a lot of it to my mom, though. I thought for a while that she wasn't going to show, because she'd been sick earlier that day, and she was thinking about just staying home. I didn't want her to come and not enjoy the show because she'd have get up and be sick, but I wanted her support more than anyone else's. Sometimes I don't know if she understands how much her approval means to me. More than anything I want her to have the biggest smile on her face when she talks to her friends about what I'm up to now.
Over Spring Break I'm supposed to be making a lot of decisions about what I'm doing for next term, wether I'm going to Columbus State, an OSU branch, ODU, whatever. I need to figure out where I'm living, what I'm doing about transportation, basically what direction my life is going to be taking for the next 12 months. I haven't got a clue. Especially since I spend money a zillion times faster than I make it, I'd kinda like to leave this country at some point soon, Adam's going to be visiting this summer, and I don't have a job or a driver's liscense. Yeah, I'm in a pickle. Of course, the job and the driver's liscense are fixable in the near future, which in turn will fix other things, like money issues.
I'd kinda like to go to a community college next year. Move in with my buddy Ben over the summer. I know daddy won't like me moving in with one of my "boy friends" but for gods sakes, it's not like we're getting it on or anything. He's pretty much the only one of my friends I would even consider moving in with at this point. And if I get a job soon, I could actually afford it, too. A little 800-foot 2 bedroom apartment runs about $450 a month in Columbus. We could deck that baby out. Coolest little apartment ever. Who knows if that'd even work out, though. I don't even know what the hell I'm doing right now. I better settle on that before I go signing any papers.
