Random ramble.
I'm starting to feel the excitement for Much Ado. The director announced the full cast over facebook today, which led to a massive friend-adding spree by many of us. It's really created the buzz, and it feels like things are getting underway now. :) And so excited to see familiar faces- some friends, some people I've seen around and would like to get to know more- in the cast. This is going to be so much fun! I miss the feeling of cast bonding especially, given that it didn't really happen at all for me in the last play. I hope our first meeting is soon.
(Also speaking of Much Ado, I'm going to be seeing a professional production of it next week and apparently it's brilliant. Exciting!!)
My theatre studies exam went fine. I could have actually, you know, studied for it, but considering that I basically didn't, I think I did pretty well. I'd previously studied both the topics I wrote on, so that helps. Now for Japanese on Monday and English on Friday, and I'll be done!
Now, though, is the time to pick next semester's subjects, and I'm having some trouble. I've been thinking about it, and I reckon I'd really like to do a double major in Japanese and English, as opposed to just Japanese. To be honest I enjoy English a lot more than I do Japanese, but I'm keeping up Japanese because it will be useful. But English, ahh, it's so great. I think I'll have to book a meeting with a course advisor though if I want to do this, because I have no idea what subjects I have to take up next semester to make it happen. (That and I've already changed my mind so many times about my subjects in the past year...)
My sister and I are booked in for a barista course this weekend!! I think it's also to get our RSA (responsible serving of alcohol) and food handling certificates, but I'm not sure. I'm mostly excited about the barista training though, cause I mean come on, coffee. I don't even like coffee but I'm still excited to learn how to make the special stuff, as well as the froth art. :P Employment here I (finally) come!!
On a different note, I've been letting my sexuality get me down lately. I know it's silly, but I thought to myself the other day, "how did this happen?" which led to "this wasn't the way it was meant to be." I never thought I would be anything but straight for so long, and this new part of me doesn't really seem to 'fit' with me as a whole. I don't identify with being a lesbian, really. I don't feel any sense of belonging to the gay community. I identify more with being bi, even though I know it probably isn't an accurate description of my sexuality. And I know I shouldn't be worried about labels, and that me thinking "this wasn't the way it was meant to be" is just coming from the assumption that everyone will grow up and have a heterosexual family, but it's hard to let go of that expectation of yourself sometimes. It's very hard. But I know this feeling is fleeting, so I'm not too worried. I wish there was more clarity and stability in this part of my life in general, though. I guess it will come in time.
