Day 1: I've got the Grease 2 song, "Back to School" stuck in my head...great

Ok, so I figure in order to keep myself updating I will mark each day so I know if I am really falling behind like I have been. Every night before bed I plan to hop on the comp. and write a little something about the day.

So, here we go.

Day One.

I moved into my apartment Saturday and spent all of Sunday partying by the pool.
Is it Monday already? Not just any Monday, mind you, it is the first day of classes Monday.

So, I hop on my bike (after first filling the tires and buying new lock and lights) and ride to class. No big deal, right? Wrong. It is like a thousand degrees out. So, I get to my class all sweaty and nasty. It is a huge lecture and most of the seats are filled. Luckily there is an open aisle seat near where I entered. I sit down. That was when I first realized how nasty and sweaty I was. Then I realized I was sitting next to a very decent looking young man. Oh well.......
The Professor goes over the syllabus (in the most boring way possible). Then lets us out. I know have an hour and a half to my next class so I ride all the way back to my apartment.

I almost get hit by a car (the guy didn't' look: jackas*), I almost have a head-on-bike-to-bike collision with my playwriting teacher from last semester, and I almost biffed it right on the open sidewalk. So, transportaionally speaking, it was a rough morning.

Now to my next class, and another trek out in the deathly heat. The teacher, a cute older woman, with a lot of spunk (yay theatre classes). This class should be a lot of fun, I can already tell! :) Today we were talking about the class and who does the teacher bring up? Meryl Streep of course! That is definitely a good omen! ;)

Go back home. (It is still strange to call this place home...but, alas, it is).
Anti-social me, has to get things done before rehearsal. (Amanda's mom and Lexi's family were over and I was locked up in my room working on stuff).

I scoff down a quick bite to eat (Mac and Cheese) and am off to my first mainstage rehearsal.

That was fun. At first I was a little skeptical about working with MFA students (because they tend to seem like they act like they are all that and a bag of chips...old school saying, wow), but turns out they were really cool and I am very excited to work with them.

Now I am falling asleep at the computer. However, I managed to stay awake long enough to find a monkey shower curtain that I want to order (and will probably do tomorrow).

Pop Quiz:
I need a small excerpt from either a poem or a song to use for my voice class. Here's the catch...it has to be heavy in imagery. GO. oh and I think I might need it by Wed. or the end of the week. GO.

I'll be waiting for your suggestions patiently.

Ok, this was a pretty straight forward, boring entry. The complete opposite of my new-years-blogging-revolution.... I promise to not follow this path of blah-ness.

Word of the day: Wrath
Used in a sentence: The wrath of the summer heat is upon us.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Won't you be mine. Won't you be my neighbor.- Mr. Rogers theme song... I need sleep.

Until we meet again... Hasta la vista, baby....and
