of course, my brothers would be very happy if i finally decided to purchase a gun. on the other hand, it seems like stabbing people would be more gratifying anyway. in either case, a massive meltdown like no other would be on the schedule if i found out that i couldn't be finished in a few weeks. for crying out loud, i already paid all my fees and bought the stupid cap and gown!
whew! has it really been a week since posting? since beginning this new writing class, i've stuck to my goal nearly every single day. and even on those days when i flounder, i'm learning how to chill out and get over myself. i make up for it in other ways, like writing more the next time or getting a sketch in to speak for me. this week i'm keeping up with it quite well. five minutes of writing turns into ten or twenty for me, so it's been way easier than i thought it would be, not even counting the boring academic stuff i'm doing for school.
okay, so i'm letting the cool powerpoint i did count for something, but only because it's not a total snoozefest. the research papers? blech. how will i ever learn to be boring enough to please any kind of professor and convince them i'm not an idiot? cite this, school! most of them know me well enough to overlook my penchant for injecting humor into academics, so i think i'll do fine with everyone except my capstone coordinator. the two mentors i've been using are into the fact that i just wanna be finished, so they get the way i'm thinking. so long as i keep my audience in mind (it's aimed at the public, not at academia types) while composing, they think i'm great and can't wait to see it. i did a practice run in class this week and got some helpful feedback on my peer evaluations. the instructor? let's just say that the two of us communicate in completely different ways... like parallel lines, unable to get in touch, and who will never understand one another. can it be true that she's as lenient in grading as i've heard tell from other students? here's to crossing all fingers and toes in hopes of success.
my week is fun:
a whirlwind of rehearsing with six different directors! how's that for a transition from merely inspired to actually creative, eh? it's a marathon and i'm loving it.

As always,, good luck in communicating, especially with your instructor.
i say communicating is not the problem. trying to be understood, that is where you run into snags. so are you really going to get on the stage and have a cheesy picture taken? fabulous!
Can't you do both? have a gun permit and gradute? (sister would agree too)
well, the communication never improved, so i decided to just be myself. we'll see how that works out for me. fuck them.
