Capping up last weekend:
- Didn't work Friday when I explained my issues dealing with my 105 class to my boss. She told me to work on homework, and contact her later in the weekend to go over projects the company needs me to work on.
- Read some school material. Concept sketched more stuff for 105 on Friday. Then went to CSz to perform. OK performance. Rusty. Got into improv-based fight with Kevin.
- Worked for a few hours on my application to Hertfordshire. Started my essay saying why it would be great to go, and how beneficial it would be to study in a different country. Ended up with more freak outs and questions than felt comfortable with.
- Saturday evening I performed at CSz again. By this time, realizing it was a terrible idea to perform both nights because I need time for HW. Resolve, before show, to pull an all nighter on HW to be ready for coming week.
- During show, I take a stage fall. Forget that the new stage is smaller, and that the entering steps are closer to the stage door. Hit my head on the corner of the stairs. Very noticeable. Wanted to cry. In middle of show. Gave ref thumbs up that I was "OK". Thankfully we only had about 20 minutes left of the show. I couldn't feel heat/cold for a while. And I slurred most of my speech. Hurt every time I blinked.
Teammates made sure I didn't have a concussion. Wanted me to rest before I went home. Refused. Drove home with massive head ache. Slow reaction time on highway. Almost sideswiped. Get home. Crash. In too much pain.
- Sunday, back of head throbs for most of day despite the IB profen I took. Resolve to complete as much homework as possible. Pass out a few times while reading (probably because I was tired. Didn't sleep well). Finish reading. Finish 99. Hung up on 105 project.
- Sunday Evening. Spent about 3 hours on 105 project, and have nothing to show except for uber frustration. Don't go to Improv practice because of HW. Boss understands. Asks if I am OK.
- Forget that I needed to sign in and work on Sunday and call Franke. Sign in at 9:30. On for an hour.
- Don't sleep well at all. Freak out over everything.
- Wake up. Work on rough draft of essay for exchange program. Try to sleep. Top/back of Head sensitive to touch.
- Continue to freak out over 105. On verge of tears after I talk to professor during office hours. Sally forth, try to juxtapose more. Hit potential solution. Show to professor. He loves it. Rants about how it relates back to people. Subtle, but a good way. Insists I don't 'bog down' the poster with anything more than the image, and some simple text. Says image is more than powerful enough to carry itself.
- Feel a little better. High pitched sounds hurt more than normal. Makes back of my head where I hurt myself hurt. Person with allergies on train most of the way. Everytime he sneezes I cringe in pain. Should probably take something when I get home.
- Work on train for work. Have upset email from Franke. Asking why I never called her like I was supposed to. Send email for her to see tomorrow. Hope she understands. Also hopes she doesn't go into Momma mode and insist I see a doctor about the head injury. Don't have the money.
- Speaking of money. Ran into my niece randomly last Tuesday. Mentioned to her how I was still looking for a D90. She happened to hit up craigslist at the right time on Sunday for a poster. Sent me link. Might have a camera by end of week. It's pricey. $699. Used. 39k shutter on it. It's the while starter kit. Already have a portrait lense that will be compatible with it from my Nikon S90.
No clue what I'll do when I get home. Probably eat. Veg. And if my head doesn't hurt, start on project 105. It's due Wednesday, and I just figured out my poster concept today. Know it will be better than most of the concepts people already show. But have to make sure it is up to my standards. Not SJSU's.
