Well, I've decided to update because it is 10PM Tuesday of second week, and I have a short paper due tomorrow that I would prefer not to write, though I am already halfway through it. This quarter is crazy so far, for several reasons.
1) I have started rehearsals for As You Like It with Shakespeare at UCLA, playing Celia. It is the biggest part I've ever played, which is a little scary. It is really fun, but rehearsals are a major time commitment.
2) I am taking 20 units this quarter, of which 15 are upper division English courses. I am very much enjoying the seminar on Ancient Epics to Medieval Romance, but there is a lot of reading for it. And on top of that, Criticism: History and Theory has obscene amounts of boring reading, with the added horror of online posting. I detest online postings for English classes. The Novel to 1832 is still unclear- the Professor seems rather unsure what is going on, and she is not altogether inspiring, but the reading should at least be engaging. But in all of these classes, there are obscene volumes of reading and ridiculously little time in which to do it. Especially considering work and rehearsals. Oh, and yes, I am also taking Biogeography. But that is an easy lab GE, so I am hoping it doesn't get much harder than it is as of now.
Oh, and Criticism is an 8AM class. That bites.
I am waiting for Reproductions to call me and tell me my headshots are ready. Usually they are very prompt, so I am confused. If they don't call about the proof, then I can't approve it, and then the order doesn't get done!! It is frustrating. I need my pictures so I can do a mailing and get a theatrical agent and go on auditions and win an Oscar. And a Tony. But it all hinges on Reproductions calling. ;-P
Well, I suppose Odysseus and Horace and Longinus await... Grrrrr.
