 I'm having a hard time adjusting after Chicago. I feel like I'm going thorough withdrawls, although when I was there I had had enough and left a day early, forfeiting my megabus ticket, coming home with Jon and Michelle (Tony- if you're reading this- I met those two in your class...two of my best friends...in your Producing class!) I wanted to come home and go back to my old ways of going out more often, eating some crappier food, and not working out so much. Its only Wednesday and after Pizza, Taco Bell, and two beers (over a period of 3 days), I've had enough. I like the way training made me feel. I had energy and lost weight. Now, if people ask me to come out at midnight, I won't have the old "sorry- I'm training for a marathon and need the energy to run tomorrow" excuse. I'll just have to say it like it is "I still love you- but I don't feel like it...sorry! Hit me up if you want to be lame and catch a show some time!" Ugh. And I sorta have the same feeling as when coming back from Europe or another vacation (I may take Europe trip # 4 this November or a couple months later...we'll see!)- people say "how was it?" "It was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had, and I want to do it again!" They smile and say encouraging words, but they'll never understand what I really mean, especially since I can't put it into words myself. This time, however, everyone was glad to see I was OK. That marathon got a lot of negative press- which was quite deserved! I lost my phone in Chicago, and my mom didn't know if I made it through the marathon safely. This is SO evil of  me...but I was a slight bit glad to have her worried there for an hour or two- since she gave me a check to buy running shoes instead of coming to the race! And my dad probably didn't even know the race was this weekend. Enough of the pity party. I'm having SUCH a hard time getting back into the swing of school. (haha I guess its complaining party now) I'm supposed to be typing a paper in French right now. I'm having a hard enough time thinking in English! I have a test in my way-too-complicated Theatre History class next week, I have a bunch of other homework to do, and did I mention I volunteered to help with two lab shows? I promised myself I wouldn't over-book this semester. It always happens! I'll continue to be Charlie's literary advisor for "Waiting for Godot" (I just sit there with the original French script and note the differences), but I think after I help Jared with finding a few of his props and costumes I may have to pull away. OH funny story- I was leaving Ken's class yesterday, and a few girls asked if I'd audition for a lab show! "Why not?" I did it on a whim...and under "experience," I wrote "HS musicals and EMU CTAR courses, house managing." haha! Such a gem they had auditioning for 'em:). The audition actually went well- I was just auditioning for Jon Kung and this other guy, so I didn't have my usual stage fright and my cold-read actually got a few chuckles! Of course I'm wayyyy rusty with acting, but given all of those related circumstances,it wasn't bad. I don't think I'll be cast, especially due to my conflicts...life is booked! But it was a good experience nevertheless.

Well, I better get to this paper.
