Keeping Above the Tide

I apologize in advance for the randomness and general disorganization of this post. I am having a scatterbrain moment.

Here we are, it's the first month of school and I have already dealt with strep throat and plenty of stress. I'm still trying to find a way to keep myself organized, but, as usual, am failing miserable. Not really, I am completely exaggerating. I just wish I could keep myself a bit more organized.

I am loving all of my classes except physics, although I think once I get my textbook it will go much easier for me.

Um, random....I am the Assistant Stage Manager for the fall show entitled "The Independent Female or A Man Has His Pride" a melodrama about feminism and the roles of men and women in society. The cast is great and I am having fun playing Rosencrantz, to our Stage Manager's Guildenstern(or is it the other way around). We are great friends and always give each other a hard time to the great enjoyment of the cast and director.

Yay!

Sometimes the only way I can get through the week or day is to think of my life like a musical. There is already music(I need to work on the choreography a bit more) and plenty of both comedy and drama. There are situations of slapstick type hilarity, including tonight: during the clean up from the theater department mixer Sarah and I put away a table and it was one of those moments where everything goes wrong. First, we were on the wrong side of the table in order to carry it. Then, we were facing each other not in the same direction. So both of us taking matters in out own hands both proceeded to turn around so we were facing away from each other. Maddie, one of our friends, was looking on and cracking up so then we both realized what had happened and could barely pick up the table we were laughing so hard.

This is what happens all the time. especially when Sarah and I are together, and increasingly when Maddie is together. Sometimes we even speak with the same words and pitches, at the same time. It's pretty funny, at least to us.

Um, that's all for now, I think.

Oh, Jinks may be going to a new home. Clayton is starting school again and now lives farther away from both his job and his school so Jinks wouldn't get the attention and time he deserves. I will miss the little bugger. I guess Clayton and I will have to wait to have out own little gay family. Ha! Look below for a picture of our happy family.
