A break? What's a break?

You mean...I don't have to go to class for a week? And have very little homework?

What? What is going on?

Finally. Since September, I've been going constantly. I worked my Christmas break away, and finally, in March, I get a break. I have a week to read, to clean my bedroom (which is really needed), to read, to hang out with my friends, to read, to pick up a few extra hours (which won't happen, since it's spring break, but still, I can hope), and to read.

I bought some new books just for this week. One I've been reading at my friend's house, but he went on tour, so I bought my own copy, when I ran into his girlfriend, who told me he gave her his copy to give to me.

Regardless, I'm glad I own it, it's a good book ("Bluebeard" by Kurt Vonnegut).

Yesterday I hung out with the twins, before I went to work, where we were really slow, so Tony and I sort of folded random shirts, and put clothes back from the fitting rooms, and that was about it.

I'm enjoying this quick chance to breathe.


*EDIT*
I'm going to start claiming on here that AE won't give me more hours. They called half an hour ago and asked me to come in and close tonight.
*END EDIT*

I steal posts, get used to it.

First off, I will say I am incredibly busy. I do still love my job at American Eagle, so that's a plus. I'm doing hair and make up for Camelot that's coming up in a few weeks. Since my degree is in general theatre, I have to learn all aspects of theatre, and I already know how to do basic stage make up from having to have done my own most of my theatre career.

And now, I stole Shaelynn's post.



Opening Credits
"Right Round" Flo Rida
This song is in no way appropriate to my life.
"You spin my head right round, right round, when you do down, when you go down down." They're talking about strippers on poles. Wonderful.

Waking Up
"Shiksa (Girlfriend)" Say Anything
Ha ha ha.
Again, not really appropriate at all.
"Even if your friends don't understand, no matter what I'll always be your man. Even if you go, you know you'll leave me feeling grand."

First Day at School
"Drops of Jupiter" Train
Ha ha ha ha. These make no sense at all!
"She acts like summer and she walks like rain, reminds me that there's a time to change."

Falling In Love
"Take a Chance" ABBA
Okay, this makes sense. I don't think I need to put any of the lyrics in here for you.

Fight Song
"Handlebars" Flobots
This is getting old, already. I want to stop doing it.

Breaking Up
"Your Song" Alessandro Safina and Ewan McGregor
This is a love song. From Moulin Rouge. It still makes no sense.

Prom
"The Sky" Showbread
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Best. Prom. Ever.

Mental Breakdown
"Gin and Juice" Hot Rod Circuit
Yeah, fits.

Driving
"Swing Life Away" Rise Against
"I'll show you mine if you show me yours first. Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose worse."

Flashback
"El Tango De Roxanne" Ewan McGregor, Jacek Koman, and Jose Feliciano
Another Rouge song. Doesn't really fit.

Getting Back Together
"Kryptonite" E-Manuel
Ha ha. This doesn't fit at all.
"At this time I need all my freak hoes to get down on the floor."

Wedding
"Nothin' But a 'G' Thang" The Escape Frame
It's settled, this will be played at my wedding.

Birth of Child
"Now That We're Done" Metro Station
"She's just a friend, you see, you always agree. You know I lie, but you still trust me. And you believed in so much hope, but I'm the one that let you go."
Whaaaaat?

Final Battle
"One Day I'll Fly Away" Nicole Kidman
Not feeling this.

Death Scene
"Hard to Find" Jessi Spreitzer
Yeah, it fits.
"We give up our dreams for our own selfish needs and love gets so hard to find."

Funeral Song
"Gold Digger" Kanye West
Ha ha ha.

End Credits
"Sampsa Meets Kafka"
Ha ha.



This was stupid.

For my Apple Comrades.

Also, mostly for Shaelynn and Scott, I think Tyler should get this.

By the way -

I can't believe I keep posting this much.

Small updates, though.

I realized I put this on Twitter (and therefore, Facebook, since my Twitter automatically updates my Facebook now), but I didn't put it on here.

I got the job at American Eagle.

I like it a lot, so far. I only worked one day so far, for about three hours, but I already feel pretty comfortable helping people, and I know the differences between a lot of the fits of jeans, especially for men.

I have another shift Friday afternoon that I was actually just added on for this morning, when I called my manager back after my insane amount of rehearsing last night.

: ]

A couple new viewfromhere photography shoots.

Okay, only one was a planned shoot, and the other we happened to be in the same place, the same night she was taking pictures.

However, viewfromhere photography has struck again.

I have two new pictures I enjoy quite a bit.

This one is from the planned shoot:




This is the night I ran into her:



From the same night, the two girls I tend to spend a majority of my free time with these days (yes, they're twins):



Regarding the last two, I realized it may look as though we've been drinking. We haven't been. Jessie (left) and Amanda (right) are actually straight edge, which means they've made a personal, lifelong commitment to abstain from ever using alcohol, tobacco, or drugs of any kind. I was just laughing at something. We were at a local music show.

25?

Okay, I'm totally stealing Shae's post. I haven't had anything to post, as of late, so...I'm doing this. I did it on Facebook awhile back, so I'll bring it here, too.

1. I don't get why everyone complains about SVSU. I love it.
2. I make fun of straight edge kids, but I'm secretly jealous that they have such strong will.
3. I like being a vegetarian, but I don't like people assuming things from that.
4. I don't really like animals. They're okay. Farther away, they're best.
5. My minor is Spanish, only so I can get closer to fluency, and hopefully, be able to speak it to my children, and at least give them a really good foundation in the language.
6. I'm a theatre major, but it's only so I can get my MFA, and be a professor.
7. I like social sciences.
8. I used to like English. English 111 has ruined that.
9. I'm much more determined this semester.
10. I miss my co-workers at Subway, but not the job.
11. I miss living at Bethany sometimes.
12. I don't really try dating anymore.
13. I value honesty more than I value almost anything else. If something happened, I'd rather someone just be honest, than lie, or withhold it. It makes it hard to trust people after that.
14. My mom told me a couple years ago, if I graduate from college she'll take me to Ireland. I plan on holding her to that.
15. I love my sisters. A lot.
16. Right after my sisters come my friends.
17. If I were dating a girl, she'd go right here. And yes, I'd expect her to be okay with that.
18. The only meat I miss eating is corn dogs. I'm not even kidding.
19. I'm not a great actor, but I'm working on it.
20. I'm not a great person, I'm working on that, too.
21. I take my faith very seriously. Having said that, if you don't believe what I believe, we're probably still friends.
22. I'm abstinent. I believe sex only complicates things for unmarried couples. An extremely common example I've heard since high school? A girl thinks her boyfriend is only staying with her so he has someone to have sex with. I don't have to worry about any girl I date thinking that. What's even sadder, I've heard guys say that's the only reason they stay with their girlfriends. And while I don't think I would be, I don't ever want to be that guy.
23. I've dated girls that don't speak English. I miss it a bit.
24. I love retail, despite the low pay and few hours.
25. I want to be able to wear shorts soon. I'm sick of the bitter cold.

The end of the first week.

So, first week of classes wrapped up for me at 9 PM last night (an hour early).

English - It should be much easier than it was last semester. Seeing as I've already taken this class (yes, I failed it last semester), I know what's coming, and I feel much better prepared for it.

Math - I hate math. I hate math so much. My Theatre professor said in my acting class (which is a General Education communications course, as well), that the non-majors shouldn't be scared of the class. They may not do as well, but it's not their chosen career. He said if any of the Theatre majors were going to walk into a math or biology course, we'd like fail. He said it's in our genetic make up to fail those courses. The three other Theatre majors and I in the class laughed. Quite hard. And then agreed.

Chemistry - I've never taken a chemistry class in my life. I had no clue what to expect. It's a forensics based class, and I have a hard time relating the lecture to...anything, actually. I kept asking the girl next to me if she was understanding what the lecture had to do with anything, and she laughed. I finally said, "No, seriously. Do you get this, at all?" For a taste of the lecture, know this. He spent about ten minutes talking about a toolbox that was left in space once, and you can see it with a telescope.

Intro to Acting - Finally. A class I get. A class I can get into. The first three weeks are games. After that, we pick our scene partners, and start finding and working on our scenes and monologues.

History - I like history. The class, itself, will be easy, except for the two exams. We do have map quizzes, but we can take them as many times as we need to, to pass them. Other than that, we have two weekly papers we have to write, but they're only one page each, and pretty simple.

As far as my interview went, Tuesday afternoon. Awesome. They always do group interviews, but there was just one girl, myself, and the Asst. Manager. I basically knew I the other interviewee beat as soon as she answered her first question. A little cocky? Yes. However, I know I interview well. Mock Interview in high school taught me that. The Asst. Manager offered me a second interview sometime this coming week.

Auditions. Okay, I hadn't done an audition in almost five years. Rough? Yes. We did cold, solo readings to start off. I'm pretty sure it killed me. I knew, as soon as I was done with my monologue, I wasn't going to get a part. As we started ensemble readings, I was doing better. The second night, I feel I was noticeably better, and more comfortable. A lot of people were telling me I should be cast. It was a good feeling, but I still wasn't counting on it. I checked the cast list today, and sure enough, I didn't get a part. So, no worries. I have scenes to concentrate on for my acting class, and will most likely end up doing scenes for the directing class, as well, that my professor teaches, to get my work hours out of the way. I can concentrate on school, which is what I need to do. If I do really well this semester, I can breathe again.
