School has been crazy busy this semester and I don't know if I am going to make it through. Too much to do and no time to do it is the motto I have. Anyway, to look on the bright side, spring break is in 2 weeks and I won't have to think about school much that whole time. In the meantime, I have 2 mid-terms. A test tomorrow, as well as an outline due and a scene/song due. I also have a singing competition this weekend, which I have been trying to get out of for the longest time because I really don't want to do it. I don't agree with competition that is based on someone else's opinion. Not to mention the fact that it takes more time and energy then I have. I have been sick for nearly 2 weeks now because I don't have any time to rest. I wish people would understand that and actually listen. I have found that teachers don't really think things through and that is why they don't really listen very well...oh well...I will live through it.

It's been a while since I've wrote, I know. But I thought I would write and leave just a little frustration comment before I have to eat and go to work. I am upset that none of my friends feel a need to call me before they go out and do whatever. They don't even call to see what I am doing. I would call them if all of us were going out, but seeing as how I am working and never getting phone calls from people who say they will call me, I never go out and do anything....Ok, done complaining. Thanks!

 I survived last week and only with a little sickness at the end. I don't know what I made on my tests yet, but I think I should get Bs on them. I got an 88 on my ballet vocab and I think I did really good on the performance exam today. I just hope my tap shoes hurry up and get in. I am getting pretty upset because I paid $15 extra for 2-day express shipping and it has been a week since they were sent off. I knew not to trust dancewear.com, but I did it anyway. Their shoes are nice, but don't use them if you need them in a hurry. It just doesn't work.

Sheffield is finally going home with me this weekend. Now he can meet my brother and Pam. I am really excited. I am also excited because I get to run lights for The Shape of Things. Bert, our tech director, was joking around about converting me to tech today. I told him they almost have. I've done a lot of tech work and I actually wanted to double up, but with all the classes you need for tech, it's impossible. Plus, I want that math minor. I would kind-of like a tech minor, but I'd be in school forever. I don't know. I have a lot to think about before the end of the semester. Anyway, I'll stop rambling now. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

 This week is only half over and I am already too exhausted to stand or think. But it will only get better from here, I hope. I have a test tomorrow that I will spend the next few hours and the last few hours of my day studying for. I also have a larger, more important test on Friday, which I will spend from 4-5:30 studying for today, hopefully longer if I get out of lab early...I was there late on Monday...I should get to get out early. Then I will spend every moment of free time tomorrow studying for, which is only about 2 hours or so and then the time I spend on it before I go to bed. I wish school wouldn't do this to me.

On top of my school work, I have the show. It opens tonight. It is going to be really good, but it's hard on me to be there from 6-11 every night. It will end soon, but only after a long strike on Saturday night, but at least I can sleep Saturday morning, for the most part. Sheff is going on a field trip, which sucks, but I will be able to get some stuff done...I hope. I am going to ask Alyssa if she wants to go places with me.

I have realized that I spend a lot of time writing to no one, especially during shows. I bring study material to shows, but I don't usally bring enough. Tonight I will though, even if it means getting caught with it all.  No biggie. I will just smile and move on if that happens. They can't get that upset though, I do sit for 40 pages with nothing to do. I think as long as I don't miss a cue all will be well. Time to study!!
