SNOW!!!

(Okay, before I get into the actual "snow" post, I just have to mention that the title of this entry was almost "SNOT!!!" because I mistyped...glad I caught that..."

SO! It snowed for about 36 hours here in the last couple days. It was awesome (when indoors and warm)! And actually, as I look out this morning, it is actually flurry-ing a little with some nice big flakes probably caused by the lake - yay lake-effect snow! I don't know what the official accumulation total is or anything because we already had some on the ground and the drifting caused by high winds makes it a little difficult to estimate. But I'd say somewhere between a foot and a foot and a half. The roads are still pretty bad and trudging to The Incredibles last night was fun since they hadn't cleared the pathway behind my dorm so we had to wade through 2-foot drifts. Fun!

Oh yeah, this reminds me. I've had an interesting week. The crappy thing that happened is I found out that the NC DMV hates me. They won't let me renew my driver's license by mail, like they will with some people. No, I have to go in person. So when I told them I wasn't going to be back in NC until probably OCTOBER, they politely suggested that I get an Illinois license. So that is the new plan, since I'd like to have a valid form of identification over the summer, and being able to drive would be a plus... Now I just have to find someone with a car who is willing to drive me to the DMV and let me use their car for a driving test. But I realized yesterday I may have to wait until the spring....I've never driven on snow before...Oops... It'll work out somehow, I know.

In other news, the show I'm stage managing in the spring has a website! Go check it out! Well right now all it has is a cast list but there should be more exciting stuff up later. http://shelovesme.cjb.net

Okay, I'm going to go curl up in bed again and read fun books until the guilt of not working on my Mysticism paper overcomes me and I actually do something productive.

Laters!

Update on school life

Hey y'all,
And welcome people who just found out I have a blog.

Well, I am having trouble believing we've only been back in school for two weeks! This last week has been auditions...for 20 different shows. Luckily I'm a stage manager and am working on She Loves Me so I only had to work auditions for that one instead of running around campus auditioning for the rest.

And that's about all I can say about auditions. Except I enjoyed them. I even enjoyed the paperwork stuff I did like scheduling and making multiple lists and charts.

In other news, I'm taking my first two religion classes this quarter, Christian Mystical Theology and Hebrew Bible, and I am loving both of them!!! I definately found a second major/minor that I love! I don't know what exactly I'll do with it but at least I found a way to focus all my non-theater classes in a way I love! I'm also in Acting and Puppetry, two other wonderful classes. The best part of this quarter is that I finally found a work-study job I enjoy!!! I'm now a "theater aide" for the TIC scene shop which basically means I get to play around with saws, screw guns, and welding machines all day! I love building things! And my arm muscles are getting quite strong from all of the lifting and such. This is my 3rd different job over the last year and a half and I actually look forward to going and I don't have to check the clock every ten minutes.

Well, I'm going to bed soon. Tomorrow I have a busy day, despite the four hours off from class the school gave us for MLK Day. Applications are available for Sheil ASB and I HAVE to go on that trip so I don't go crazy over spring break! I'm also working at the shops and need to work some on my puppet at some point.

Laters!
