bryiarrosei think this is the term that's going to really make me feel like i'm back in college.
i have a lot of those 1-2 hour gaps in my day that you don't get in the real world.
along with my job at the tavern, i'm going to be working in the costume shop six hours a week or so.
plus, last night i had my first singers rehearsal in more than three years. and that's the final piece. lawrence is on sabbatical this term and so gerry rubino (the rehearsal director for dale warland singers) is filling in for him again. i worked with gerry four years ago, when he filled in the first time, and had such a good time working with him that i decided this was a chance i should take if it was available. so i went and talked to him and low and behold i'm back in singers. singing alto, because they have plenty of sopranos, but that's just fine. my voice is chorally out of shape anyhow, especially my soprano, and this will be a good way to ease into it and make me work harder to find my part (instead of my ear naturally picking out the highest note like i'm used to). at any rate, i'm a little scared about the extra time commitment, but i think it's going to be really really good for me. it's been a couple of years since i've sung with a group, and i've missed it.
still haven't gotten to talk to scott since i've been back, and it's starting to get to me a little.
everything's starting to get to me a little. classes, people, money... i'm just kind of cranky this week. probably has to do with my cycle. especially since (like a couple of others i know) i've switched over to the patch and can tell my body is still adjusting. i always think it's funny/strange when people have asked why i'd be on birth control even if i'm not dating anyone. it just seems kind of obvious. i mean, a) that's not how it works. b) it's for me, not for whoever i'm dating. and c) because i'm still trying to find what works for me with the fewest side effects and i'd rather get that figured out sooner rather than later. anyhow.
bought a white board for the fridge last night when i was at target. came home and put it up, then wrote on it:
IAN-- DO YOUR FUCKING DISHES. PLEASE.
i was somewhat amused by how minnesotan i really am, not being able to leave off the please. there was a note in response when i came back last night promising they'd be done by one p.m. today and that it wouldn't be a problem ever again, but i haven't seen ian and his nasty mess is still covering the kitchen. i think perhaps i will write the same message again. maybe i'll even be able to leave off the please this time.
generally, life is pretty good. it's snowing here today though. i'd much rather have the 60-ish weather that started out the week, thanks. don't know what i'm doing tonight. am tempted to just stay home and watch movies or something, but i'm already having allergies. and tv watching involves the living room, which involves sorcha-cat.
as sketchy as gene-therapy and anything to do with genetic alteration may be, if they can get rid of my asthma and allergies... there aren't words for how good that would be. how thankful i would be.
i think i need a coke. mmm. caffeine.
