I turned 24 today. It is my first birthday where I haven't been able to go home either right before, right after, or on my birthday. My first long-distance birthday. I got up, I went to class, I went to work, I taught my speech class, and now I'm home wasting time and not grading the papers I should. It's a weird feeling being cut off from my ( Read more... )

I interviewed today at Virginia Commonwealth in Richmond. I was really nervous going in becuase i've never done this kind of thing before. But it ended up being really easy going and a lot of fun. I even ended up not having to perform any of the FIVE monologues i prepared becuase the usual acting teacher wasn't there. I really just sat in on ( Read more... )

It's been a hell of a week. Wrote 20 pages of papers for grad school, taught all day, and then had rehearsal at night. its so frustrating working with these high school kids where you have to tell them literally every last thing to do. I've been reduced to giving line readings...something i swore i would never do. but i hope the end result will ( Read more... )

Why do I only do this when there is an impending deadline that dooms it from the start? Is it a conscious thing, some sort of self defense mechanism, or do i just have really shitty timing? Maybe i just enjoy diving in and getting myself in over my head.

Please?

Sometimes you find things in life that are worth fighting for no matter how much pain they cause you. You just have to hold on no matter how bad things get, becuase you know in the end it will be worth it.

its nice to have a few of those.

and i'm gonna stick around and fight.

The two lindseys were captivating in that show with so little to work with. I hope i can live up to those expectations. I'm really just excited ( Read more... )

is it possible to hate somebody you've never met and know hardly anything about?

i say yes.

I'm just getting worn down by life. this baton rouge break could not be coming at a better time for me. I was on the verge of cursing out a room full of sixth graders today, so i took that as a sign it was time for some relaxation. thanksgiving doesn't really count, becuase i spent the whole thing with my family. I love them, but it is far from ( Read more... )

My whole family will be home tonight for the first time since May.

That makes me a whole lot happier than I thought it would.

I guess I didn't realize how much I missed it until it was gone.

I am so tired it physically pains me.

and it is before midnight.

I am officially old.

LSU better kick some ass tommorrow and make it worth it for me to get up and drive to Oxford
