It's past 4.30 in the morning, and I'm in the midst of trying to finish some reading in Dracula for my British Lit class tomorrow afternoon. I could just not read the forty or so pages I have left to read , but I would feel so left out in the discussion tomorrow.
I could also try and finish it before class, but I have another class beforehand, and I probably won't awake until right before I have to go.
Not to mention that we have a journal to do based on what we are supposed to have read. All in all, to get a good grade in that, I must finish the reading before I can sleep properly.
I've been drinking coffee, too, to stay awake, and it's helping somewhat. I can't count how many cups I've had, because it's been numerous. Hmmm.
My day today was ok. I had two different classes, one of which is kind of iffy. I had Musical Theatre Performance (MTP) and Theatre History. I, also, generally have Players that I go to, but we are working on this new piece, and Rhett was working on it in shifts, so my scene wasn't up.
So this morning, I had planned on waking up at nine in order to leave by 9.50 to get to MTP by 10.35. I wanted to get coffee before, because I knew that I was going to be hella tired. As fate would have it, I didn't wake up until 9.30, and I scrabbled to get ready to go. It takes me just a little over half-an-hour to get to campus from my house, just to inform you.
And of course, I didn't leave until a few minutes after ten. It was so cold outside; I was freezing!! There was a dense fog, and I wasn't wearing a proper coat for the weather. I get on campus at 10.32, and realized that I didn't know where the class was. I was able to find out, and headed to the room. Looked in, and it was completely the wrong class! I was so confused, and I admit, a little upset, because, of course, it would be the wrong room! I went to Rhett's office, and he informed me the room change, and I rushed over there, now being late. The doors were locked and I had to enter through the back way. I felt a little awkward coming in ten minutes late, but it couldn't really be helped.
Anyway, the teacher was this guy that I had a really small crush on from Millie. I was kind of glad he was teaching it. So I come in, apologize profously, and you know what the first thing he does? He gives me one of those side hugs. "Good to see you," he says. "If you want to jump in, go ahead, but if you want to rest and watch, that's fine." I would have felt like a jerk if I came in late AND then didn't participate for a while, so I jump right in without even knowing what was going on.
Now, you have to understand, I don't sing. I CAN'T sing worth anything, but I really need this class for the credits. So, I'll just deal with it were my plans. Got through the class, and at the end, I went up to him and got the syllabus and talked to him about the class. I was up front about my singing abilities, and we spoke about dealing with it and all of that.
Then went to lunch, read some of Dracula, then went to Theatre History. I like that class. Was pretty easy, then I went to the public library to borrow a book for a friend. Then went to Coffee Cottage to do some more reading of Dracula. Another friend called me to let me know she was going to the Bon, where we were planning on eating dinner together. I went, and just spent time with her and a few others. At about seven, we parted and I went to the library to work on homework. I left at eight and came home and jumped on the computer to check emails and the sort.
I get an email from the MTP teacher telling me that the prerequisite for the class includes singing. Great. I have absolute no training. So I shoot him an email back. Then went surfing Facebook when I should have gone back to Dracula.
Which is why I'm now up reading it. Or was reading it before I came on here. Yes. I know. I procrastinate.
I'm really contemplating skipping my physics class tomorrow, which is what I have right before Brit Lit, just so I can catch up on the book/sleep. But I'll probably wake up and go. It depends on if I sleep through my alarm or not...
Aaahhh...I'm listening to a cd a friend for me. It's beautiful and very calming...
