Okay, so here's last week:
I went to a LSU Symphony Orchestra concert in the Union with Mark, Wes, Lauren, Katie, and Taylor last Thursday night. I hadn't been to a real classical music concert since Elementary school; as you can imagine, I had no appreciation for classical music at that young of an age, so the concert Thursday was soothing and pleasant to listen to. It was one of the first (or so I think) East meets West concerts, as a Chinese composer had composed one of the three pieces that the orchestra played.
On Friday night, I went to a perfomance that coworker of mine, David Terry (taught SAT classes with me back in June), wrote.He titled it "A Magical Mystery Tour of the American Theatre: A Tribute to Spalding Gray." Spalding Gray was famous for his improvised monologues; likewise, David did the same, spinning off hilarious, somewhat serious, improvised real-life stories for about an hour. Unfortunately, the fire alarm went off during the middle of the performance, but David just went on with the show, oblivious to the atrociously loud noises. Good times.
Now schoolwork: my classes have definitely begun to pick up more momentum, especially my Organic Chemistry class. Needless to say, I really need to start studying for class. I spent a good two hours in the lobby doing practice exercises from Chapter 3, but only about an hour of that time was spent doing real work. I've also joined the Honors Advocates student group (passed the interview on that one), but didn't make the final cut for Rotaract. There's always next semester, but if I don't get in by then, I'm going to forget about Rotaract and join other student groups.
The New Orleans TPR director must think I'm a hardened road warrior or something; she tried to (unsuccessfully) convince me to teach a PSAT course held on Thursday and Sunday nights (on the 3rd, 7th, and 10th of October) in the Big Easy, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. I wonder how she'd respond if I asked her to commute 150 miles in a day and wake up early the next morning for class, but I told her that I needed to concentrate on my second Organic quiz and exam (on the 4th and 5th of October), which is right before fall break and the rest of the midterms. She wasn't too happy about that, but what gives? None of the other New Orleans n-SAT instructors took the assignment. It's rather silly for her to think that I'd be willing to commute that distance at night to begin with, no matter how high the driving compensation is.
