Catch up

I am again in bed with Maxie by my side. I don't have to be at my final costume fitting until 10AM, but for some reason I did not turn off my alarm and it went off at 6AM. I was going to reset it, but I lied there for about 30 minutes and then got up to feed the cats. I got back into bed with the Netflix movie, Kolya, that's been on my shelf for about a month now.

Maybe it's been more than a month.

I really need to cancel that subscription, but I'm sure I'll need it come summer. I found out yesterday that my main partner in crime, Tony will be away for the summer working in LA and SF. I will be in Davis all summer, but hope to take little excursions or perhaps take a workshop or two.

I was offered the Teen Shakespeare Workshop in Winters job yesterday. I need to let the university know since they are waiting on me to decide if I'm teaching for the first summer session. I needed to supplement my income since the salary offered was less than the quoted amount. Elio (who's in the cast of Nest) said that he was going to sign up for the Hip Hop class during first session, but it was full. I was floored to see 57 people on the roster online. Yikes. Many of them are on the wait list, but I am not sure how large this class is. It makes the idea of doing any academic assignment daunting.

But back to the film idea.

It's amazing how my focus has shifted towards the editing of films and TV shows now that I have to do that in class. I am working with Jessica, one of the undergrads (who is also in Nest) on this project. I honestly thought that I would lead the editing, but she's much better at it than I am. She really has an eye for the editing thing. It seems that I have the eye of a director. I let her know what I'm thinking and she creates it. She also has quite a lot of cool ideas on her own. I am thrilled.

As we (wow, did I just say "we?) near the end of my first year, I am starting to freak a bit about the thesis. I really don't know how to start. I have ideas, but nothing (other than my Dada project) that sounds like it could be an exploration.

I think I should get up, shower, grab some breakfast and head into the department. I should have time before my fitting to stir up some trouble. I mean, ask for assistance.
