More stuff for me to stress about
The theatre company I applied to as lighting designer wants an interview. On the plus side, Great! On the... minus side? This is going to be TERRIFYING. Two years ago, when I had an interview with them (and got shot down HARD. Okay not actually that hard. But still), there were ten or twelve people sitting in a semi-circle, all around me, which is a terrible set-up--something to keep in mind if you're a person who might be on an interview committee in the future--because it creates the sensation of being on trial, interrogated and examined from all sides by all the magistrates in Salem and a couple of guys all the way down from Boston. Two weeks ago, it was the same experience when Boy and I applied to direct, still nervewracking even considering his comforting presence. Now, it will be the same interrogation--in the same room, even--as I cringe and wither under their gaze. I want my mommy.
Also on the minus side, this pushes next week just across the threshold from "pretty full" into "when will I sleep?".
On Monday I have to see my history teacher with questions about my term paper, and also my music teacher with questions about this composition project because I am SO LOST. Which means that by tomorrow I have to have made a decent amount of progress on both those assignments so I have something intelligent to say. And I should probably go to my philosophy professor's office hours, as well.
On Tuesday I have a math assignment due--very possibly my last math assignment that I will ever have, ever. AND I have my final quiz in music, which is a harmonic analysis. And then Tuesday evening I'm going to look at an apartment.
I was planning to watch Glee on Tuesday (OMG season premiere! After I was so worried it was gone for good! I love Glee so much) but I set myself a goal that I'd have a presentable draft of my history term paper by Wednesday so I don't have to work on it too much while I'm supposed to be revising for my exams. (The paper is due on the day of the exam. This could end SO badly for some people. I'm not going to let that happen to me!)
Then I'm looking at another apartment on Wednesday night. And course evaluations--an online thing that lets you give anonymous feedback to your professors--are due that day, too. This is because Wednesday is the last day of classes. How did this happen? I don't want to stop learning!
Then Thursday is this lighting design interview, and on Friday my music project is due. I was hoping to get assignments done early and have a day or two to recover before I dive back in and start with exam prep, but now it looks like that's not going to happen.
And in the mean time, I STILL don't know who I can convince to give me a job, or where I'll be over the summer.
I love school and stuff, but this week is going be absurd. I think I need some ice cream.
