I hate college.
Correction: I hate how college has messed up my sleep cycle. There is NO way I should be up this late. For any reason. Ever. Granted, I've been up later, but not because of school work!!! :( Grrr.....
Ready for the whirlwind? Here we go.
8am- Intro to Acting class, which I was almost late for. It was a lot of fun though!! We ran through scenes and are almost ready for performing them for a grade now. Yikes. I did my scene today though, and it went pretty ok! We need rehearsal, but we'll get it tomorrow.
10am- Theater 130 Lab. I had fun here too! I was the only student helping out on pretty easy jobs- going down to the basement of the Shrine Auditorium where USC keeps a storage of old props and set pieces and things. It felt straight out of Indiana Jones, especially the cart ride down the long ramp into a dark, spooky-feeling, but really cool place of artifacts. We made two trips there. On the first trip back, I made a friend because I met one of the guys who was in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels! He was at the street corner handing out free granola bars for his job, and he knew Kate, the worker I was helping today. The second time back, we had Duncan with us (basically the boss of this whole theater production group. He teaches the lecture) so that he could help Kate with platforms and things. There were only two seats that were open in the cart, so I got to sit on top of all the platforms!!! It was so fun!!! Definitely the highlight of my day, right there.
1pm- Lunch at Parkside, then scurrying back to my dorm. Packing up two bags with what I'll need for the rest of the day, then starting a bit of homework before I have to leave for my next class at...
3:30- Philosophy. We read a paper that my professor wrote for homework over the past week. It was kind of cute seeing him get a little bit more humble when talking about his own paper. Maybe it was just because it was the topic that fascinated him the most and that he understood the best. I wish I hadn't felt so distracted by everything else coming up after class during class, but for the parts that I could give my full attention, I enjoyed it!
5- Navigated my way pretty quickly to the Marshall School of Business. New area of campus!!! It's quite nice, but by far the most crowded I've seen a building be during a school day. I attended an information session about a Business minor, and confirmed for myself that I do want to apply. I have to have taken 32 units at USC before I can apply though, so I'll wait until next semester to officially do so.
6- Walked as quickly as I could over to Yogurtland, where I met Nicole, Christine, and my friend from earlier today that was handing out granola bars!!! His name's Drew. We went over to Nicole's apartment, where we were going to film her 290 student film. Christine was Nicole's crew member helping her out, and Drew was acting in it with me! Kat, a girl on my floor, was also in it, and joined us later! We had a really fun time, especially because it started raining outside, which made things just a bit more exciting. I found it a little hard to concentrate on what I was doing... but I've got a second shot tomorrow. We filmed up until about halfway through the script, but we had to stop because a) we didn't have fake blood (it's not me drenched in it this time, no worries!) and b) Kat had to leave early.
9- I get back to campus and get a bit of food at EVK with Jinny. Then it's to the room and starting homework.... and homework... and homework... and a bit of breaks here and there... but mostly getting stuff done.
And here I am.
Let's do it all again tomorrow... after I finish this chapter.... I'm exhausted.
Fight on, friends.
