I’m exhausted. Our last show was today. For the past two weeks I haven’t been home until ten every night; my entire life has been this play. It’s awful to end a play- you make so many friends, and most of them you’ll never see again. I’m really going to miss everyone I met over the past couple of months.
Yesterday morning I woke up rather sick. I could hardly swallow from a sore throat or breathe with my nose completely clogged. Amazingly, I was still able to sing. This morning I got up at seven to get a glass of juice and thought I was going to throw up, pass out, and die, but after a few more hours of sleep I felt all right. My temperature was below normal yesterday, 96 point something, but today it’s up about a degree higher. It would be nice to stay home from school tomorrow to just let myself heal, but I have auditions afterward for Romeo, You Idiot. It’s a parody (obviously) of Romeo and Juliet that’s being put on at the freshman center. Plus I’m already going to be ’sick’ on Friday; we’re driving up to UT for my brother to visit with department heads about Biological Engineering.
My biology teacher told us Friday that we’re going to be skipping the unit on evolution due to ‘time constraints.’ I find this utterly ridiculous; evolution is a very important basis in biology. Sure, I live in the Bible Belt, and I’m sure plently of "devout Christians" would complain about studying evolution, but evolution is not a religion. I just don’t get how people think the two can’t be believed in simultaneously. Quite the contrary, I find evolution to be much more evident of God’s power (the ability to create a world able to adapt and change as needed) than the creationist idea of a stagnant world.
I finished the second front of Pink Ruffled Jacket this morning. I haven’t knit much over the past week; I don’t get home until seven at night. Exams start on Tuesday, though, and we get out at 2 on Tues and Weds, at noon on Thurs, and we don’t have to go at all on Fri. *happy*
When the ponds froze on Christmas, I took a bunch of pictures. This one amused me- there’s no snow on the ground, but there’s a huge chunk of ice. (Gross looking, I know… who knows how long that bucket had been sitting out there half full)
