One two three four five six switch. . .
Well, Risley is officially in the throes of exams. I feel kind of guilty that I have less to do than most of my friends, but I remind myself that I had a great deal more to do during the last week of class than most of my friends did. I realized earlier that I have to relearn almost everything for my European politics course, so I'm reviewing the books so that I can write the two five-page papers that constitute the take-home final. These are due on Thursday at noon, so do I have time to go to Agnes' concert or Kim's birthday party this evening? No. Am I going to attend both anyway? Yes.
I'm stressed, but remaining upbeat. This is odd, since I've spent the last month being about as downbeat as possible. A lot of people I know, though, are not responding well to stress. I feel bad for them; I know how hard it can be. And I worry. But in the end, I do believe everyone will be more or less okay.
I'm sticking around Cornell for a couple days after my last exam. I like being here when it's quiet and I don't have a million things to do. If you're going to be here til the bitter end as well, let me know and we can hang out.
Auditions for "No Problems" are this Sunday from 2:00 to 5:00 in the CLR. We're doing them now so that we can give people the script for over break and ask them to at least become familiar with their lines so we can launch right into rehearsals the moment we get back. This should be cool. I hope a lot of people audition and that I stress less over casting than I did for "Don't Quit Your Day Job." Honestly, I think getting more people auditioning will make casting easier, and that having a largish cast will make directing easier. Lots of hopefuls means that the casting feels less personal, and a large cast means that it'll be less of a battle of personalities. Plus, since Lauren and I will be working together, I think we combined will have enough personality to deal with practically anything. :0)
Now dinner. I want rice with soy sauce, and I want it now.
