So, I'm sitting here, prolly gonna head to bed soon, and I feel like updating. Life has been kindof exhausting. Our most current show, "Philoctetes," opened tonight and the past few weeks have been pretty hectic getting things together. It was, however, much better the "Flea" was last year. We're actually ready to open with a few exceptions. The set is totally built and about 98% completed in terms of deco. which was my part of the show. The set is basically done but there's still the matter of painting the banners that hang out in front of the theater. Those will most likely be getting done either tomorrow or Saturday which is great.
Classes have been going alright, pretty boring though. Most of them don't have any actual homework assignments, thankfully. A few have reading assignments that should be done before class but not really required so at least that was nice in the pseudo-chaos of hell week. I don't care for the format of Japanese. I understand that it's more of a tutoring program rather than a course, but I'd be doing so much better if he taught things like grammar and how to actually formulate sentences rather than teaching us phrases and such. It's just difficult to assimilate these words he's teaching without the understanding behind the language. Now that we've learned hiragana I can be reading the book though, so that's something. I'm really excited about it though, so yay.
I'm still single, haven't really met any prospects so far. A crush here and there, but no real prospects alas. I really need to learn how to approach a guy. -_-"
I was thinking last night about whether or not I'm happy. I don't think I am, I don't think I'm even content, merely indifferent. Just been going through the motions, and there are times of happiness, but not an overlay. And motivation... I still don't have any. No ambition. It f*in blows. Although, I haven't sunk into a depression since I got back to school, not a major one by any means so that is definitely a step in the right direction. If only I could follow some direction and actually walk the path rather than have my feet pulled along.
Mom's coming up to visit next weekend...which is Homecoming. Now that should be interesting. She's never seen an IUP Homecoming before and it'll be interesting to see what she thinks. She decided some random weekend to come up and it jsut happened to be that weekend. What a blast. It'll also be the first time she's been up here during the run of a show, but I doubt we'll go see it. "Philoctetes" just isn't a show she'd like, I'm sure. Greek plays are something of an acquired taste. It's a good production of it, just an odd show.
Yeah, that's all I have for ya. 'Night.
