Well, I have some news, and I have some news.
The first bit of news is that I may or may not be able to write the climax of my novel today. The maybe factor comes in at the times in which I have a choice to make as to whether to keep procrastinating or actually write the darn thing.
The other bit of news is that I have rehearsal all next week, and I don't like it.
Well, I like rehearsal. But I don't like the CONCEPT of rehearsal. Also, I don't have a costume yet, which cannot be said for the rest of the main female ensemble.
I like going to rehearsal and I generally like the musical (except for going to the full-cast rehearsals when nobody pays attention to the directors because everybody is talking to their friends). But, in theory, I don't like the idea of having to spend three hours (or four or five) not doing homework. Generally, though, the musical is enjoyable.
I just have to re-learn time management, because right now it may not be working out well. (We've only been back in school for a week, so I haven't returned to the utterly confusing part of calculus yet).
Being in rehearsals have made me appreciate free blocks a lot more. Especially having two or three free blocks a day. From what I hear, free blocks help a lot of my school's alumni with time management in college. For me, that remains to be seen (partly due to the fact that I don't know where I am going).
Speaking of college, my #3 has finally endeared itself to my mother (it's also the school that I have a high chance of going to, because my #1 and #2 are really ridiculously competitive). I always thought I'd like it there, because it's tiny and has a good writing program and a good classical theatre program, and those are my top two career choices. My mom thought it was the super-conservative type of college (not like deep south, but sort of close), and that, since I grew up liberal, I would probably really abhor it because of that.
There were two things that finally convinced her (aside from my liking it) that I would be happy there.
First, they had an LGBT advocacy week recently. I'm not sure of the direct reasoning behind it (in memorial of suicides? Fundraising against LGBT bullying? Because it was a free week in the semester?), but I'm glad it exists.
The other reason my mom is finally fine with it is that they have a supermassive Harry Potter Movie Marathon planned for this weekend.
Honestly, those two things alone would have convinced me to apply, if I hadn't already gotten in. Huzzah!
Right. Enough about college. I have to go write the climax of a novel that I've been working on for the last two months. Or go to Starbucks. But probably the former, because it's cold and I'm broke, and I don't need caffeine.
Farewell.
