Tutorial #1

So I went to my first Calc. tutorial and it was soooo boring! I just wanted to cry. All we did was go over the homework that i already had finished. Yes can you believe I've already done more than half my homework for tomorrow and I did it yesterday!! Go me, it's my birthday! Sad news to report though I didn't get called back for either of the big main stage shows, but Yaya did and I'm so totally excited about that! I'm hoping i got into something though. Like a work shop or something. Well, I'm just going to have to try not to think about it until tomorrow when the cast lists goes up. So, now i'm just goofing off until lunch. I'm meeting some law student I met at calvert house the other day. He seems nice. He has this crazed ambition to become fluent in latin which i found terribly amusing. Ahhhhhhh, i can't stop thinking about how horribly i did at auditions! Stop thinking about it Janice!!!!! But I can't. I'm going to die before tomorrow comes. I do have one other thing occupying my thoughts at present that is infinitly more important and pressing but I can't really comment about it at present. Maybe, I'll go sing. That always clears my head. Vale!

Second day of real class

So college just isn't that hard yet. Auditions last night were murder! I am usually so much more confident and sort of come into my own but i think i got spoiled by being able to audition on a stage for the past few years. I have this huge problem with auditioning for someone when I can see the expression on their faces. I shouldn't have worn my contacts it would have made it all better. I really know I could have done better for my cabaret audition but I don't want to go back and do just as bad and waste their time you know? But I was soooooooo nervous I was shaking and forgot the words. i should have done a song that I was a bit more comfortable with you know? But enough of these should haves I just need to do something about it. Maybe I will go back tonight; I've got until seven to decide. I was up all last night cuz I couldn't get any homework done because all I could think about was auditions. So i spent 2 hours doing german homework when i got back and it turns out I misunderstood his abreviation and did the totally wrong homework and managed to re-do the entire assignment in like 20 minutes!!!!! I was soooooo mad but oh well what can you do? Greek thought was cool and pretty laid back. I like how there are only 11 of us in a class it's kinda nice. But my prof. talks soooooooooo softly that I can hardly hear him. He needs to go do a theatre show and have mrs. chapman yell at him about projection lol. They are going to be doing small student shows here in BJ and i'm thinking of asking daniel to play some music for me so I can do a song. It would be fun. Especially since i'm going to have all this free time when I don't get into a single show. Well I'm tired of typing. Vale!

AHHHH!

Auditions start today and i still don't know what song i'm gonna do! Definetly from a chorus line but i'm torn between two songs. Still sick and my upper register is totally shot but I'm gonna try anyways! I went and read through a bunch of the shows and I'm sooooo very intimidated now. Just gonna audition for everything I think. Still have tons of homework to do but that's the story of my life. Finished the Illiad chapters so it's all gravy from there! Well gtg and practice! Vale!

First Day part II

So i started my homework and it's terrebly boring but at least i have something to do. Guess what? i got a job at the oriental institute museum. I'm only working like 8 hours a week but hey it's a job and i'm getting paid 7.50 an hour which is a heck of a lot more than i was making at DQ lol! I just e-mailed the lady back that i was cool with my hours. So i finally think i've figured out my e-mail nad found a whole ton of messages that I didn't know i had. But it's all cool. i found out there are auditions for this cabaret with selections from all diferent musicals but with all of the mucus that's still in me i can't sing higher than like mid alto!! So i don't know if i want to embarass myself by auditioning sick. I just need to find the right song. I just wish i could get better!!!! I miss singing sooooo much. Well i guess i should get back to the illiad. Vale!

First Day1

Well I finished all of my classes for today. It was great and i already have so much homework to do it's not even funny. isn't life grand? So let me see if I can give you a play by play. It was cold out this morining so I brought my jacket with me to classes. First was calc. and it was rediculously easy. Not to worried about math. Teacher was a bit scattered and definetly didn't know his stuff like Dr. Epting but he's ok. Then I had French and was late cuz I had no idea where i was going and my class was all the way out in the boonies otherwise known as Judd hall. My french prof. is like 23 and a native speaker. I was kinda impressed by how much i followed so this year will most certainly help me with oral comprehension. He seemed cool though and we don't even have a book just a packet. Lets see then I had an hour break during which i tried to sign up for pe but the computer wouldn't let me so i had to go find the advisor's office. They said they'd e-mail me. Then I had Hum. which should be easy since it's just like latin only it's greek and i don't actually have to translate anything! But we got done early cuz there wasn't much we could do since we hadn't read anything yet. Then I had german which was horrible and kinda fun. it's rather depressing to know I'm having to start all over with another language and the teacher wouldn't stop speaking german and none of us knew what the heck he was saying. But it'll get easier I hope. He's one of those very orderly here's your homework and study assignment's for the year types. Kinda have mixed feelings about german so we'll have to see how it goes. I did manage to sign up for PE but i need to go get my french and german books/packets. German is $150!!! But what can you do? Well Vale!

The last day of O-week!

Well today is my last day of freedom before I start classes. O-week has been a total blast. I'll have to copy stuff from my real journal into here cuz my computer died my first night and it's rare that I am able to get on a computer. We got one of the mainenance guys to let us into my dorm's computer room so I didn't have to go all the way to the library. Speaking of the library the reg. has sooooooooo many Egypt books it made me want to cry! They had tons of them in every language you can imagine. It was in short, heaven. I have also visited the Oriental Institute Museum like 3 times this week at least and have already applied for a job. I hope they hire me! Well my schedual sucks! I have all 4 of my classes monday, wed, and friday and they are all like 10 minutes apart. And on tues and thurs. i'm taking PE if i can figure out how to sign up for it and my math tutorials. Yes, I got placed into stupid calculus and so i have to go every day. I forgot how to do integrals all together when I took the placement. Oh well. I probably need the extra help so i'm not really worried. I am taking french 20100 and german 10100 and greek thought as my humanities class. So it will not at all be a boring semester. Auditions for the fall plays are this week so i really need to go to the reynolds club and read them but I'll get there. Did I mention that I love having a house? It's so neat. We went on so many house trips this week which was awesome. Went to two restaurants, an impromtu trip to the lake at midnight and then a planned evening trip to the lake another night to go swimming. All the upperclassmen have been moving in this weekend. The first years out number them; there are 26 of us and 43 people in our house total. We're like one of the largest freshman class like ever. I love my house though. Coulters rock! We're pretty much our own wing of the dorm so like our staircase only will lead you to coulters. It's just like being in harry potter. If my computer ever gets fixed maybe I'll get ambitious and put up some pictures. But then I would have to find the cable to my camera. My room is such a mess you can't even walk in it but it's very green and I need a certain level of chaos to function. Well I think i'm going to head to the student activities fair and then who knows? Vale!
