This is not a metaphor. Today I rode, with Amanda, to Tempe Town Lake....which was downhill....so the ride back was uphill....my thighs were screaming (metaphor...that could sound really bad...but that is only if you are Tom or Lindsey, who have there minds in the gutter!) It wasn't too bad actually. It was a lot of fun. It was hard work, but that is because I am out of shape. So, I needed this. It was only probably a total of 5 miles, not bad.
Today I had my movement and my composition class.
Movement is going to be hard work, but I know if I put forth the effort I will gain a lot from the course. (Friday we are going to be doing pushups and sit ups and starting a work out regiment that we will need to follow all semester...not what I expected, but it is only one day, and then we will get into the real movement work)
Comp was comp. The grad student teaching the course is weird, but I think I will survive.
After class I went and got my books. Oh, here is a story. I call them yesterday to see if they had what I had ordered (they told me a week ago, when I ordered, they would call to let me know when they were ready...no phone call so I call them). She said all but one. I told her i would be in either wed. or Thurs. and she said they would hold them until then. So, today I put all my old books into my backpack, so I can sell them back, and we ride over to the bookstore. 1) all the books I want to sell back cannot be sold back because those courses are getting new books (so now i have to put those 5 in my backpack and my new 7 in my backpack...ugh) 2) I go downstairs to get my new ones and the lady tells me after the first day of school all un-picked up orders get shelved...but since her co-worker instructed me wrong she would go find them all for me. 3) They had all but one...so i had to go to the main bookstore and get it there 4) I end up with 13 books in my bag and I am on my bike and am dying.... it was very interesting to say the least....but I hurried back to my dorm and dropped them all off and was free.
Then we went to the lake and after that back to Amanda's dorm. As soon as we got back we crashed. I put on the tv and we basically just laid there without moving for an hour, we were both dead. Then we had a snack (cheese, pepperoni and crackers...so good!) and played Wii!
After dinner I headed back to my dorm and hopped on the comp. I went onto facebook and had a little too much fun pranking Kristen. Had a heart to heart (in a good way) with Lindsey and one with Amanda. Cried in overwhelm (also in a good way) and am finally ready to settle down and go sleepy time.
Tomorrow I have playwriting, costuming and history. After those, going to hit the gym and write my "worst play ever."
So there you go. (In Greek accent, like in My Big Fat Greek Wedding)....(that is my new phrase right now)
Happy Slumber....and
Bon Appetit!

One score and nine days ago....
I posted last....
That is 29 days by the way....
I chose that title because today was inauguration day.... I know dorky and thematic...
Sorry it has been forever. Hope everyone (like I have that large of an audience) had a nice holiday season! I had a lovely holiday season...I will now tell you about it....I will, however, refrain from going into too many details. If I were to do so, no one would want to read because it would be dreadfully long. I know...you're hurt....but you will heal in time.
Well, when I left you I was in Las Vegas, it had snowed, I didn't have a room (but that wasn't a bad thing), Lindsey and Kris were planned to drive out on the 27th, we were hoping for Mamma Mia! tickets and the guy who lives under us hated us.....
Well....... Christmas came and went...just another day on the calendar, not a bad thing. Especially when you are going through some tough financial times...but I got a digital camera (Yay, finally) and the Mamma Mia dvd!!!!!!! On the 27th Lindsey and Kristen did, in fact, drive out. That night we went and saw Doubt (Great movie in my opinion). On the morning of the 28th we got the tickets for Mamma Mia! and went and saw it that evening.
OMG- the best show I have ever seen...(Lion King on Bway was also awesome). Mamma Mia! is by far my favorite musical. This was an experience that words cannot describe. I just hope that I get to see it when I go to New York in May (will talk about that in a bit)
On the 29th I drove back to AZ with the girls. I stayed with Lindsey for about 5 days. Went to her godmother's house for new year's eve....and then to Kristen's at midnight to ring in the new year....
On the 4th I went to Allison's for the week. We had dinner at Grandma's, that was hilariously fun! That Friday night was Grandma's birthday party at Macayos. The entire week I was at Allison's all we really did was play Mario Cart Wii.....and board games....it was great!
I then went back to Lindsey's on that Sunday.....and we prepared to go to Tucson on the 13th.
In Tucson, I went and saw the comedian Jeff Dunham with Allison and her sister. It was great!
Came back to Gilbert that weekend. Stayed with Allison again. This past Sunday we went to RAGE fest (An all day concert...where several christian groups perform)....it was so much fun! We got to meet the band members (some of which were really HOT!).... Allison post those pics!!!!! I also got in some serious headbanging....... just call me "HB...Head banger" (mamma mia reference...sick I know!). The next morning we had some serious ragefest hangovers...lol
Monday I returned to campus and was reunited with Amanda! Missed her over break! Hopefully she will be my roommate in a few weeks!
Classes started today....
I had Playwriting, costuming (lecture) and History....
So far...AWESOME!
In costuming we are going to work 4 weeks on makeup effects...old age and gore (my absolute fav!). Then we get to put bullet holes on ourselves....and other prosthetics...we get to make out own! How cool is that?!!! We also have to take a piece of artwork and put recreate it on our faces using makeup techniques! After makeup we will learn basic sewing techniques. After that section we get to makes masks and puppets!!!! It sounds so cool! I am really excited!
In Playwriting, my first assignment is to write a three minute (app. 3 pages) play with these guidelines...."The worst play ever"! That is due next Tuesday. I am really anxious for this class...I am really into writing now....
History seemed overwhelming at first...reading 85 pages a week....but he said it isn't as bad as it sounds and he is a really easy teacher and gives easy tests and assignments...so yeah!
Tomorrow I have Movement and English. Normally on Wed. I have my costuming lab...but they start next week.
I am nervous about movement. The professor is very successful in the business and seems a bit intimidating...but I hear he is one of the best on campus and this his classes are amazing. So I am rather excited too...
I plan to post every day or every other day again. So, keep checking for new updates.
Hopefully this wasn't too long.... Oh, also, I have pictures (if you haven't seen them) from my break uploaded on my Myspace and Facebook....
Until we meet again...
Bon Appetit!
