a day of joy and happy with just a touch of wtf
I've promised myself I would keep this at least partially up to date, so I might as well hold myself to my word and write a bit about how today has gone thus far.
It's Andy's birthday today, he's 19, woooo! I so wish I could be there to celebrate with him, but things just don't happen like that. I feel like such a bad girlfriend by not being there, and he told me not to worry about it but I can't help but feel like a horrible person. This is his day, he should get what he wants and deserves, and if that means a visit from me, then why should I deprive him of that? But alas, gas prices being asthey are along with my mother who greatly dislikes driving back and forth all of the time prevent me from doing the things I wish I could do. I just want to be there...so badly...ugh.
Mondays are foreign teacher day for me. And yes, it is labor day. Yes, I still have classes. It sucks major ass. I don't understand why we don't get a day off like the rest of the world! I suppose a majority of the kids here don't even know it's labor day...or what labor day stands for. Oh well. Everyone else who has the day off can suck it. Straight up.
Anyway continuing on, I have Kublai Khan for dirt science bright and sunshiney early on Mondays, and wow, what a wonderful way to start the week! Not being able to understand your professor is quite an eye opener. and it's not like his handwriting is all that great either. At least things seem easy enough so far. I mean...it's dirt. What more is there to know (besides two textbooks full of information)? Then directly after Genghis I have "Cathy," aka Xu Pei, who comes to us from lovely Beijing...we tend to try to sit more toward the front of the class because it is a HUGE lecture (like, over 100 students) and it's hard to understand her over all of the ruckus that comes from fucking annoying people in the back. But at least the class is straight forward simple economics so far, I haven't learned anything new. So thank you, Mr. Moon! Then I have a couple of hours off, and then Kublai again for dirt science lab, which means he teaches again for about an hour, gies us our homework, and then tells us we can stay and work or leave and to the work at home. Last time we stayed, this time we left. It was such a boring day, and Kublai had killer breath, so I figured getting out of there as soon as possible would be the best thing to do.
So now I sit here, putting off writing my narrative essay that's due tomorrow, writing this instead. Didn't I tell myself I wouldn't put things off and halfass it? I guess old habits are hard to break...but I'll get it done. I have to. I will do it!
Tonight is night one of auditions for Rumors (Yes, it's the same Rumors that Katie put on this past spring...oh I had forgotten, haha this journal has yet to learn that I was in the play Rumors by Neil Simon just a few months ago). I have to audition tonight because tomorrow I have english until 7:30 p.m. and auditions start at 7. I hae no idea what I have to do, because they didn't tell us anything except to show up. I told my roommate, Jen, that I was just doing it for shits and giggles, but really it's more than that. Sure, it would just be a good outlet for my slowly elevating level of pent up energy, and sure, I would be doing it for fun. But...I want to meet new people, other than the ones I know already. They're great, but I know I can meet people I can better connect with. I have to, or else I'm going to be the psycho who sits in her room all day hunched over her laptop doing who knows what. Maybe I'll get laughed at, but I really couldn't care less at this point. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain, and I might as well have fun while I'm at it...so. I'll give it my best effort, and hopefully they'll ask me to show up for callbacks on Wednesday. Andy would be so proud of me for going out of my comfort zone to try something "new."...okay so it's not so new because I've done the play before, but it's better than not doing anything at all.
Oh I just got a really bad stomach ache, sometimes the food here does not sit so well in my poor stomach.
later peeps
