3 shows down, 2 left to go. The blood still isn't doing exactly what we want it to do, but it's also not completely malfunctioning, so whatever. All in all, it's going pretty well. Interesting note - the director, who had been super-involved up until this point, has now disappeared. It's fine by me, but it's just kind of funny.

My body just keeps on betraying me. For the fourth or so day in a row, my alarm has failed to wake me up. In fact, most of those days I had two alarms - my clock and my cell phone. This whole oversleeping thing is screwing with my productivity. Luckily, today is the last day of classes...

Off to playwriting class. Hopefully the prof brought food as promised, as I ate breakfast but skipped lunch in order to get things done.

Due to "an unforeseen scheduling conflict" Enon won't be playing at Worthstock after all. Boo.

Tonight's my last radio show of the semester... The webcast is back up, too. So tune in from 6-8 pm EST to hear the best of what I played this semester.

The group project for d'turgy is (basically) done. Whee.

My lack of sleep is palpable. 2 hours or so last night. And I won't be able to get a ton tonight, either - I need to write a position paper for ToN, as well as do my intro paragraph/thesis for the final paper. In theory, neither of those should take very long. However, when you add in the reading that should get done before I do either of them... Well, then it gets a bit worse. Tonight is also the second housing lottery (rising juniors this time), so that will eat up some time.

Off to campus to deal with costumes and blood.

A sign that maybe I was a bit more sleep deprived than I had realized: I took a nap around 7 pm, setting my alarm for 10:30 so I could be at Mertz by 11 and go to Nifty Fifties and do things with people. I woke up around 3:30 am. Oops.

I would just like to say one thing: Booyah. The damn paper is finally done! I'm going to go print it, and then I can hand it in and finally look my professor in the eye again.

I finished outlining the rest of my paper last night, and then my body gave out on me. I went to sleep around 12:30 or so, planning on getting up around 4 or so to finish things up. I was woken up at 7:30 by my second alarm. And my body is still not happy - my head feels out of it, and my eyes don't want to focus. Grr.

On the plus side - Enon is playing Worthstock! It has been verified! I'm thrilled. :)

Enon may be at Worthstock this year. I don’t know for sure, but I hope it’s true...

I have an interview for the InterAct internship lined up for the first week in May. *grin*

Monday did not exactly have a stellar start. Appointment at Worth, being really tired and frustrated at failing (yet again) to finish my ToN paper, and then 3 hours of listening to Allen talk.

But it got somewhat better. The first summer housing lottery went by without too much trouble. I reattacked the paper, deciding that I should start over (sort of). I've got a full page done. Considering how slow it's been going, that's fantastic. I walked home about 10 minutes ago, enjoying the clear sky and listening to music.

I got to my room to discover that my voicemail light was on. 3 messages! The first was a wrong number. The second was the same wrong number, but a more detailed message. Delete, delete. The third one, however...

The literary manager from InterAct called! I need to call him back and talk with him, perhaps go into Philly for an interview. They didn't look at my cover letter and resume and just recycle them! I admit, I'm more drawn to the Wilma -- I liked their mission statement and production history a bit more (though a lot of that might be because they seem to really like Stoppard...). But really, at this point I'm just thrilled to get a phone call.

I swear, if I can ever actually get this paper done, I will have to throw myself a little celebration party.

I've spent much of today outside, reading in the sun. It was nice, as was my nap. Now, however, I have to get down to work. So I'm in McCabe. Hopefully this will yield productivity, but I'm not betting on it.

I've been super mood-swingy lately, and it's starting to get to me. It's draining. Also, people and life have been rather disappointing lately. There have been some notable exceptions to the rule, granted, but they're vastly outnumbered.

...And... absolutely no work getting done, because having a massive mood swing is so much better. Just as time consuming, but easier to get going on.

Remind me never to do a show with blood ever again. It's just annoying to deal with. On a very related note, I need to procure a catheter bag and an IV tube ASAP. Blarg.

Most of today was pretty good, other than play stuff. I hung out with some people outside Sharples, and ended up pestering Saka. That was a good plan, since it resulted in us spending time talking together and watching the first disc of Firefly. Yay for quality bonding.

Now, though, I should really get some work done. Most of today was eaten up by costuming stuff, and I really need to get a lot done. Especially because, in theory, I should head over to the mall tomorrow. Because the coat we have does not, in fact, please the director. So I need to find another one. And that trip will also eat up a large chunk of time. Grrowl.

In other news - I'm pondering, as I often do when my hair is making me grumpy, getting a radical haircut. Summer is coming up, perhaps I should actually try short hair for once. However, the likelihood of this actually happening is slim... I don't really know what I want, and there's no sort of place that I can go to and just let them do what they want. Also, I really don't know if I'd deal well with short short hair - I'm so used to being able to pull it back when I don't want to mess with it. But still. I always get tempted.

My last five moods, according to imood: lonely, weary, exhausted, bleh, and now sleepy. Hmm.

Though I am sleepy right now, I am also kind of excited. There will be people for me to hang out with this summer! Miriam, Allison, Julia, and Blair will all be here, which is fantastic. Yay people!

Also - last night I printed up my resumes/cover letters/envelopes and will be mailing them out today. So we'll see how that goes.

I was able to file my federal taxes online, but Pennsylvania had to be difficult. So I'm actually going to have to mail it in, grr. On the plus side, I picked up some lovely paper and envelopes for my resumes/cover letters at Career Services (thanks, Cari!). So I can get those printed out tonight, then mailed tomorrow, and then feel like I've at least tried.

Tonight was the night of study breaks - ice cream floats at 9 pm, and then my showing of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy at 10 pm. Both were pretty well attended and fun. So, yay. And I have pretty drink umbrellas in my hair - they were left over from our luau, so we broke them out for the ice cream float party. My hair seems to attract umbrellas. Or at least my fellow RAs like to place them there.

Now, of course, I need to get work done. Boo work. I really just want to sleep, but I need to do this close reading for ToN at the very least. I'm clearly not going to get my paper done (again) for tomorrow... *sigh* I need something to hand in so I don't feel like a complete slacker.

I was a slacker earlier today, of course. The really strong need for sleep - as well as the desire to hate the world a little less - compelled me to not go to playwriting today. I just wasn't really in the mood to listen to people's stuff get criticized and everything. So I slept, then made my way to campus for the judging meeting of the Newton Book Collection contest. Yay library internship.

I also worked on cover letters. I need to get envelopes for sure, and maybe nicer paper. I'll buy that tomorrow and then mail things out on Friday, I guess. Which is pushing the deadline for one of them. At least it's the one I'm less interested in (I like the other theatre's shows more), but still... I really should have gotten this done a lot earlier. *hangs head guiltily* At least I've felt like a competent RA the past few days - having supplies people need (cups, scissors, color pencils), throwing study breaks, answering questions about housing, etc.

And now work.

Operation branch out into other social groups to prevent being depressed when all my friends graduate seems to have begun in earnest. Interestingly, it has not begun intentionally, it's just sort of happening. I know some people, so I sit with them and chat, and other people are there, so I start talking to them, and so on. This has led to me sitting outside of the science center in the sun two days in a row (hence the sunburnt arms) and sitting out in the hall just now drinking birthday wine with people. It's nice.

Of course, I will still be horribly sad come graduation of this year. Also, I will not be able to partake in any of the possible post-graduation festivities (trips, etc), which is sad. But at least I'll be here to see everyone graduate.

Off to do some work now, then sleep. Because sleep is good.
