so, a little posting or those of you who still read this.
School is going alright, though the longer I am here the stranger I feel back in the US and the more I want to be back in Cairo, or Greece, or somewhere else. Mac is great, and I'm having a lot of fun, but I miss being somewhere really amazing, but being use to it. Does that make sense.
So yeah. . . School. Classes are going well, though they will of course be more work than I really have time for. Oh well, I'll manage. I always seem to work it out somehow.
My honors thesis has been officially approved, meaning that i get to work on this really cool research topic i am DIYING to do work on. I feel like such a dork, but it's totally true. Of course, this too will take up a lot of time, but at least I'm only taking three classes next semester, so i'll have some more free time and less work. . . I hope.
Got cast in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" as Brick, which is really great because not only is it the perfect part for me to play at this phase of my education, but it wll also be my senior project (meaning i can get my senior project in theatre out of the way this semester and not do it at the same time as I am writing my honors paper). Already started doing some research and found this really great chapter in a book that basically goes on and on about issues brick is dealing with and their mythical context. Honestly, it like this person looked ahead into the future, knew i would be playing this part, and then made mythical/historical/symbolic references that she knew would make sense to me. This women speaks my language, and I love it.
Also decided that i really don't have enough on my plate right now (sarcasm), so i've decided to apply for a Watson fellowship. Have an idea in mind, just need to talk to some people and find a way to flush it all out of my mind and onto paper. Also have to figure out how it could all logistically happen, but that's just a technicality.
What this all means though is that I really need to get out of the country again. That, and i really have no idea what i want to be doing in a year. Everyone keeps asking me "where do you see yourself next september?" and i really just have no idea how to respond to that. I mean, there are lots of options, but i don't know which will end up being the one i choose to pursue. God, will u listen to me? I sound like I'm in some sort of cheesy coming of age movie. I've never like living the stereotype, but unfortunately this is one everyone has to go through and I'm just here for the ride.
