Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
[Wicked]
I suppose I should update, since I haven't in forever. There isn't too much going on. I'm back at good ole King's College, but probably for not longer than the rest of the semester. Odds are I'm transferring for next year.
So, what else is going on. Well we had a Super Bowl party today, which was pretty cool. Some people were really pissing me off, but oh well. What can you really do? I have to read the New York phonebook for tomorrow's class. Well, it's actually the Gospel of Mark, but if you've ever seen it it's the phonebook for New York. My theology teacher is horrible. She gives us ridiculously long reading assignments and then we only have one day of class discussion before we move on. Plus, all we have is class discussion. We aren't told anything to know or anything concrete at all. We all just say our opinions and move on. No one actually does the readings, so it's horrible. We just sit there and stare at each other. I have four skip days, and I've already used two. I can't skip again till Spring Break I've decided and I hope I can stay true to that.
Other than that one, classes are actually pretty good this semester. I have Theology, Speech, and Lit on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I've already talked about Theology. Speech is great because I'm actually good in it. I love speaking. Lit is by far my favorite class this semester. It's just amazing. It's actually farther ahead than I should be, and I needed special dispensation just to be able to take it, but I can totally handle it. It’s just an awesome class overall. Well, all except for Regina. Regina is an older woman that came back to college in order to become a lawyer. I'm sure she's a very nice woman, but I CANNOT STAND HER. She's just so annoying, always making weird comments while the professor is speaking. Then, when she actually raises her hand the things that come out of her mouth are astoundingly stupid. I mean I feel bad, but it really distracts me from learning. [/rant]
On Tuesday and Thursday I have Advanced Writing and Philosophy II. Advanced Writing really isn't that bad, but a lot of things in it bother me. We don't get a grade until the very end of the semester and we need to stick with the same topic all semester long. I chose modern theatre, so I can talk about things I actually like, like RENT and Wicked and the always heavenly Idina Menzel. Should be interesting. The teacher is really strange, too. You can't tell if she likes you or your writing style at all. She’s just so ambiguous in speech and the looks she gives you. Yeah, well, I'll survive. Philosophy is exactly like it was last yaer, only there are only four people in my class this time around.
Oh, and I finally got a job. I work in the theatre on the shop crew, with the painting and building of sets. I can't build anything for shit, and I hope they know that, but it's so much funn. They also told me they'd teach me how to do anything before they expected me to do it and all that funn stuff.
I think I’ve finally decided what I want to do. I wanna do theatre. I know it’s a big jump from what I’ve been thinking about for the past three years, but it’s been in the back of my head since I landed the lead of the school play in second grade. I know it won’t be easy, but I really wanna do it. I won’t stop with the writing, though. I’m keeping that major, I’ll just probably add a double major on of theatre.
I guess there was a bit more going on than I thought. Oh, well.
well me is out
