The Pendulum Swings

So I keep vacillating between anxiety and ease. My life is indeed stressful, but if I stick to the plan, I should be fine. That is until I missed a meeting yesterday. For the past 2 weeks I have scheduled a bunch of meetings with people in other departments about collaborating on my Dada piece. I completely forgot about my meeting with the professor in the French department. I just sent her a note apologizing and asked to reschedule. Truth is, that project is now on the back burner. I do keep checking in the Peter, our department head since I put a proposal in for funding. But he is not the most proactive guy. And he has not moved forward on it. I just want to make sure I get SOME support from the department.

After my hell day yesterday -- teaching, dishes and light clean-up, voice, prep for day 2 of filming in Sara's class, a LONG 3 hour filming session, a TA meeting and 2 1/2 hours of rehearsal WITHOUT a break. I stumbled home. I took a shower and sat on the couch with my choreography notes. I had not seen Tony in quite a few days, so after some minor epiphanies in the The Way We Get By number, I went to Tony's house for some wine and conversation with him and a lovely undergrad named Jenna. We went through the AFIs Top 100 list and then watched some Eddie Izzard on youtube. I needed that break.

But now, I need a bit of list updating...
