inhale....exhale....inhale...exhale....
well, life has gotten back to its usual hectic self!
I've got a real full schedual, but for the most part, everything is really good.
last weekend was spent visiting those Aguilars at Whagon Wheel Theatre in Warsaw, Indiana.
(the artistic direction was "be candid!".... Cori got the cute picture of them in costume...I'm still waiting for her to get me a copy...)
We saw Damn Yankees and DAMN was it a good show. I HIGHLY reccomend that you all try and make a road trip out to see them. you can find out more about these kids and their shows at Adrians blog http://blogitout.adrianaguilar.com/
but generally it was a very theatrically inspiring weekend. I just love seeing as much theatre as I can because I adore all the creativity that goes in to each and every show...it just gets me excited about life and creating and theatre and people... and it kinda sealed the deal that I NEED to work in a theatre next summer. like, real work. the kind that gets you paid. and looks good on a resume.
I've almost finished our first full week with my class of Special Ed kids. I've got 5-8 year olds this year and they are very different from the 3-5 kids. But, I am loving it. I'm in a room that had to have two classes put together (ok, with a school as HUGE as East, why do we have to do that? it just seems silly to not have enough rooms.) so that means my class has 14 kids (10 boys, 4 girls), 2 teachers, and 3 Aids. Generally, the kids are pretty good. they are still at that precious 'holding hands' stage, but they're old enough to actually 'talk' to, so it's real fun. I'm still not very good at being scary to dicipline them though...still working on that.
Limelight has really hit the ground running. I had the OH GOD moment on Tuesday when I realized just how soon Pride and Prejudice was happening and how I had almost nothing together for their costumes yet. But I've been working and will hopefully be able to get everything together and looking good in time!
Ump-ing for Sugar and Spice has been good this year. I've had the same two teams a lot of my games and luckily I really like the girls and the coaches, so they have made the games fun. otherwise that could really makey my nights suck.
I think I'm enjoying my work with ESY and Ump-ing more this year because this is the second year I'm working both of them, so I am a lot more comfortable and confident with what I am doing. less paranoid about fucking up. it's a good thing.
now, what's really the thorn in my side right now, amongst all this other stuff, is I started two online classes through waubonsee on monday. I'm taking intro to psyc and intro to soc to get ride of some gen eds. so what happened was, I totally missed the memo that I had to get textbooks for these classes, so, we didn't get to "log in" until the friday before classes start, so I didn't realize this until saturday morning as I was checking out my class work for the first time. I immediately e-mailed my teachers, telling them what happened and crap, then ordered my books. Anyways, the point is, I still don't have them and while it is an ONLINE class, generally promoted to be "work at your own pace" apparently my psyc class has several assignments due each week that will be inaccessible after that weekend.
ASS FUCK.
I am not happy about this situation. I know it's only a gen ed class, but I can be kind of anal about grades and this is putting me in a very uncomfortable position for the FIRST WEEK of classes. and I feel like and IDIOT having to e-mai my teachers like this. really, this has me more stressed than all of my other work this summer combined. damn books. better get here REAL SOON.
on an up note! I've actually made it one the treadmill pseudo-regularly for the past week or so! I'm determined to keep this up. I forget how good it feels to be pysically tired. I just wish I had a more interesting way get back in to shape, but hey, anything is better than nothing.
so, with all that on my plate, the next few weeks in particular are going to be crazy busy, so I don't know how often I'll be updating. hopefully I wont be too bad. I'm going to a wedding tomorrow night (Molly Ernst and Ryan Minard!!) so I'll hopefully steal a few minutes away from the HOURS AND HOURS I will be working parking for Prarie Fest to put up undoubtably cute picture and fully stories that will ensue.
until then, peace.

You crazy V sisters and your attempts at doing 50 million things at once. I laugh at you and your ambitious ways! Ha HA!!!!!!
meh, I'm funny. I sat on my ass for about three weeks and got nigh on NOTHING accomplished in all that time, but this three week sequence when I have the least time possible I will surely accomplish about six times the normal person does! give me less time and more work and somehow that just makes things happen. meh!
