Macbeth went amazingly well. We had eleven shows counting the two previews. We were sold out for all but two of the performances and those two were at least two thirds full. I've uploaded seven videos on my facebook, but in spite of the fact that those of you silly enough to be reading this can see that, I'll add one to this as well. (When I have an internet connection that isn't pathetic.)
It was my first show as an assistant stage manager, which was kind of crazy since it was HUGE. I absolutely loved the experience though and I adore the cast. I still have lines going through my head...quite frequently, but hey, it's Shakespeare, so that's okay...right? The worst part of working on the show was that I had to miss TWO weeks of church. It was kind of awful. As if that wasn't bad, there isn't a podcast up for the second of the weeks that I missed. :'(
The class that I TA for had their final exam yesterday, so I am about done with everything associated with that class. I am super happy to be almost done with grading thought papers as I have learned that I really dislike grading papers, but I will miss my little grouplings. I am definitely glad that I agreed to do it when Sydney asked me to TA...and...I love the theories, which show up everywhere, so it wasn't harmful to have them reinforced by sitting through the class again.
I got an A on my last paper for my Women in Ancient Greece and Rome class, which is pretty awesome even though I don't think I really deserved it. I was so exhausted from Macbeth that I'm not really sure what the quality of it was though, so my opinion may not be valid. It is definitely comforting to be acing the class so far since I'm a little worried about the final and I have one more paper to go.
Theatre History...yeah, let's not even go there. I kind of wish that I hadn't gotten a 4.0 last semester because now I've put pressure on myself to get another one this semester, which is kind of crazy. At the high point of Macbeth, I was working 40+ hours on the show, going to classes, working my job, doing homework, and all of the other necessities of life. Before Macbeth got up to 40+ hours, I was doing a full time job in half of the time at work because of my coworker quitting. In other words, I should be happy with whatever grades I get. And...I need a vacation.
Vacation...yeah...about that. I had four trips planned for this summer and all of them seem to have fallen apart, which is pretty lame. I've also started to realize how many of my friends who are away for school are not coming back and how many of my friends who are here for school will be going home for the summer. :( This summer is looking like class and work for me. I'm tempted to just say what the heck be a workaholic and then try to go on a trip, but...I don't have a car...and trips are no fun by yourself...and then I'd have to decide where to go. I'll probably just end up being a workaholic and not going anywhere. I guess it is just as well since tuition is going up again and my grant money has greatly decreased (thanks dad...stop getting paid so much!).
I finally changed my facebook picture that I was tired of, but I don't have a new one, so I changed it to a different one from the same day. I now need to change my twitter and gmail picture to match it, but that won't happen on this internet connection, so it might be a while before that happens. Hopefully, I'll actually get a NEW picture sometime this summer, but I'm definitely not making any promises. (I'm being a workaholic, remember?)
Anyway, I should get back to the homework...and maybe bed eventually since I have an eight and a half hour day at work tomorrow, which will be followed by more homework. So close...I'll be free for a week after Friday next week.
P.S. I forgot to mention this. I am the Theatre Department SAC Treasurer for next year. (SAC = student advisory committee) Yeah, I am insane. I might die. It will be fun though and I am happy about who I will be working with too. Everyone that I voted for won the position that I voted them for, so yeah, I'm just awesome like that.
