I can live with second, yes...
You know all that stuff about waiting for things from Rochester? The wait is over. I got my Big Packet o' Stuff. Whee! And I can now add my Rochester ID number to my list of Long Numbers I Have Memorized, because for some reason I find it easy to memorize ID numbers and hard to memorize... just about every other kind of long number there is. I know, for example, both my Prep ID and my Fairfield University ID, even though I haven't had to use my Prep ID in years and my Fairfield ID is just kind of superfluous anyway (especially as stagweb is rather pointless at this point and that's all I used to use it for).
Anyway. I'm very excited about that.
Other excitement, of course, is Guys & Dolls, which actually went pretty darn well last night. Friday's audience should be better--higher peer-to-parent ratio, which means good things for their expressivity. (So a word!) (Okay, maybe not.)
I finished writing my social ethics comp rough draft yesterday (because the rough draft was all that was due today) and never bothered to edit it because, hey, kind of the point of "rough draft." So I am very amused that my teacher said "no rewrite needed" and gave me an A. Still, it means I don't have to actually go and fix all the problems I know it has, because apparently my social ethics teacher doesn't care that I sometimes meander between third and plural first persons when talking about the students at Prep (and I don't just mean when I'm including myself in the group or not, which would make sense), that my introduction is about twice as long as my last non-conclusion major section (I wrote that intro fully expecting to cut it down a bunch!), that I use the argument "This is vague!" far too often... all sorts of things I was really planning to go back and fix. But nope. Well, that's just a little less I'll have to do later in May.
As a random aside, there was a show on Broadway recently that had a shorter run than our run of Guys & Dolls, if you don't count previews--we have two nights, but they only had one. The opening night of Glory Days was also its closing night. It's pretty horrifically hilarious. Look it up on broadway.com or something. I mean, it's one thing to never make it out of previews. It's another to quietly slink away after a few weeks. But to have just one night? That's harsh.
