Meh
Ugggggggh I really don't wanna do my homework, but I NEED to turn in my English project tomorrow OR ELSE!!!! On the bright side, I only have like 2 and a half reflections left to write, and then all kinds of math homework to do...
I'm Back!
Ugggggh I'm so so tired, last week was too busy and the past week has been beyond hectic. I've hardly gotten anything done or gotten any sleep whatsoever! I forget when my last post was, but there was another away lacrosse game the night after that. The team got killed, but it was okay because they had expected to lose. I got home super late and then had to pack up my bag for the State Theater Conference the next day.
I survived the few classes I had before being dismissed for the conference. We had to pack up a giant truck with all of the set pieces, costumes, and tech equipment which took about an hour or so. The bus ride down to Columbus was easily the worst two and a half hours of my life. I was originally sitting on my own, then last second this random boy who I don't know ran on the bus, saw that I was on my own and sat down. I didn't want to be close to him so I was pressed up against the window. The seat was right on top of the heater for the bus, and if you are unfamiliar with American schoolbus heaters, let me tell you that they are a bitch. Your feet will be burned off unless you lift them up. So basically, I was practically curled into a ball in the seat with this boy who, while he is significantly smaller than I am, took up more than 3/4 of the space because he HAD TO SPREAD HIS FUCKING LEGS. SORRY SON, BUT YOU DON'T NEED THAT MUCH BALL ROOM. Uggggggh that was awful.
Then we kinda rushed around all weekend between the hotel and the conference. Our show went over fantastically, and had a flawless performance! I saw two other fantastic shows, Legally Blonde: the Musical and The Foreigner. The majority of the shows I saw were shit. I didn't go to a single workshop while I was there because 1.) the timing conflicted with shows I was going to see or the show I was working on or 2.) the workshop topic wasn't remotely interesting to me. Like they have a lot of improv workshops, but those are terrible because every theater kid and their mother goes and wants to participate and there's a lot of yelling and people thinking that they're god's gift to humor when they aren't.
The food at the conference was atrocious. A bunch of kids got food poisoning from one of the dinner options from Saturday night. The choices were either "Chinese" or Lasagna, and the lasagna gave people food poisoning. When I opened my boxed Chinese meal, the fried rice was a deep brown/green color and a limp egg roll I threw out after I took two gross bites. When the highlight of the Festival's food was the Cosmic Brownie thrown in the dinner box, you know the food is atrocious. The whole thing was terribly organized as well. Like the schedule is on this "Guidebook" app, and a bunch of things that were at the conference weren't on the schedule! For instance, a school was performing The Crucible, which is one of my favorite plays, and it wasn't in the guidebook at all! I would have rather seen The Crucible than the shitty Dr. Who- themed show any day of the week!
Getting home and sleeping in my own bed was the best thing that happened, honestly.
With everything going on in my life, I have been incredibly stressed out and I've been feeling depressed lately. I just don't have much zeal for the things I love anymore. I just want to stay in bed all day, and randomly throughout the day I have to fight the urge to cry, and I hardly ever have a reason to cry. I need Spring Break to come faster, even though my Aruba body is nowhere near ready yet.
