We are just finishing Week 3 of Fall Quarter and my study in time management is fair. I still use iCal with the hot sync to my palm pilot for my calendar, but started adding tasks each day so I can keep up with my assignments. That seems to work reasonably well. I should probably put alarms on them all, just in case, but the tasks with higher priority are getting done.
Due this week is a paper on Touch and being In-Touch for Contact Improv, 2 monologues - one for Voice, one for Acting and presenting the second Laban piece for Movement. I also have costume design work for my Monday night class. The initial steps of Sleeping Beauty. I am setting the ballet in modern day Italy, so I am learning a ton about high fashion. The most exciting thing is that this afternoon, I showed some of the stuff I have been working on for my thesis to Lynette and got fantastic feedback. We spoke about the reasons I am doing the this piece and there not was not one bit of laughter from Lynette for anything that I did. My timing was off and there was an intensity that didn't allow for laughter. I completely felt it. So, I will work on updating all that I showed today and I'm sure I will have some more to share in two weeks. Not only that but she is also assisting with Dada funding. When I explained when I was doing, Lynette offered to speak to the folks at the Davis Humanities Institute. There's a chance I will get an additional $500 to $1500 - ah, doing much more than Jade ever will.
On the social side, we also had a really great MFA gathering last night at Little Prague. Luckily it was not the drunken fest that it was last year. It was the nice small group of MFAs who I know and like - minus my two closest, Christine and Tony.
Another update is that I finally have internet in my apartment, which is the main reason I have not posted in a while. It was just too much of a hassle to write on campus or run to the hotel around the corner. It makes such a difference to be able to research and watch my abc shows online whenever the hell I want.
Lastly, I went on The Chronicle website and found a job posting for the University of Maryland. It's an acting/movement position. There was something so right while I read it. I need to get my statements together and apply.
Tonight I will get some work done to allow me to go to the city tomorrow and see Trolley Dances in the afternoon and the Opera in the evening. Sunday I will be going wine tasting with Tony and Tim, and possibly Rebecca. A full plate yes, but it's got all food groups - academic, social, entertainment and rejuvenation. Ah, balance.
