I've noticed that I most frequently post on here when I'm up late writing papers. And usually it's something ridiculous. I guess I don't have a lot of ridiculousness to share right now. Except that Hershey's Special Dark contains 45% Cacao. At least, that's what the wrapper says. I don't know why I'm eating dark chocolate tonight. I'm not feeling specially bitter. My legs hurt. I'm not sure I'm planning on getting any sleep tonight. On the other hand, I don't absolutely have to get up for class til about 9:45--I don't need more than 10 minutes to get dressed and wander across the street. I think I may cash in a few karma points and skip theatre lecture/discussion since I haven't really missed any of it yet this year. That's when I'll be finishing my paper. Ideally it will be done by 1 or so, and I can see Jennie Barry! Yay! So even if I didn't go to bed til like 5, I would still have almost 5 hours of sleep.
I'm in one of those school sucks moods. You know those? I mean generally I like school--I take classes I like and read cool stuff and write way too many papers but they're about things that I care about unless they're about air. But see, I have all my assignments for the semester on Google calendar, which makes them all look much prettier than they actually are. And when I scroll through week by week, there are some weeks where there's absolutely nothing on the calendar, and some weeks where there's like 3 things every day--like this week. There's no balance! Next semester=less classes and maybe even less credits. Next semester also=(hopefully) happier Julie. If only all math were that simple...
Something occurred to me tonight as I was sitting here not writing my paper. I feel like I'm not the most well rounded person in the world. I mean, my interests all kind of overlap and fit neatly into a little Julie-sized package. You'd think that would make it easier to figure out where my life is going. I guess it does, to an extent. But there's still so many ways to specialize within my interests. I pretty much want to do everything. Everything within certain parameters, but everything nonetheless. I mean, I want to teach high school, I want to teach college, I want to act, I want to write, I want to own my own theatre, I want to direct. I want to go to grad school, for sure, but I want to get my masters in EVERYTHING. I've been moving into this theatre criticism phase lately, where I would rather talk about theatre than do it. But after being back onstage tonight, even just for a small audience, I'm remembering what is amazing about performing and why I do it. I think I will have an interesting life ahead of me--I have NO idea where it's going to go.
But I probably shouldn't be a writer because I'm bad at just sitting down and writing. |
