Happy Monday!

Only 2 more Mondays to go! wooot

Lots of activities going on this week:

1. Teach
2. a staged reading of Night Surf (we run Wed & Thurs!)
3. Pack & Move!!! yay!! but booooo... haha
   

I'm super stoked to move! We have so much time to move from our apts into our new one, so I think we'll be ok. I just hope that I'll be able to organize my teaching stuff to focus on packing & moving.

We'll see! Wish us luck!

Yearning to hit pause,
but I just can't stop going--
Fringe will be my treat.

;)

I forget I have this blog.

It's true! I forget that I have this awesome blog to update my many followers, haha. ;)

Well, what to update on...

Ummmm....

THE 2000 is going really well! MUCH better than I expected. I've actually been able to lecture for as long as the class is! :) A whole hour & 15 minutes of me jabbering on about theatre. It's actually quite remarkable when I run out of time & have to spill into the next class.

I hope they're learning. Learning something. Or able to apply what they've learned to something they like in their lives. Or don't like. Whatever.

I'm housesitting for Charlie & Audrey and that's been super fun! They have a sweet nugget of a cat, Tito, & he's a big fan of my Toms. Haha. I've got these burlap Toms that go with everything & he loves to rub his face up against them. I think he's a fan of the texture. Super cute.

By the way, Toms is #1 in my book right now, as far as companies giving back. They've got this awesome One-For-One program. So, when I buy a pair of Toms, they give a pair of shoes to a child in need in Africa, for example. They're doing this new program called One-For-One Eyesight. The shades bought are pretty pricey for a poor grad. student like yours truly, but the money goes towards a person's glasses, eye treatment, or surgery! It's very inspiring. Check them out at: www.toms.com/eyewear/our-movement for more info!

All right, that's it. I should go & be more productive. Rereading Fences since I'm lecturing on that on Monday!

Finished the first week of Summer B!

And here we go again.... 2nd half of summer teaching has commenced!

School started on Monday. Been so so SO busy. I'm teaching Theatre Appreciation this term, which was stressing me out like WHOA. But I worked really hard & put together lectures that actually made some sense (haha) & now the first week is OVER! so proud. whew!

My students this term are really cool. It's interesting to pick out who's tuning in & who's zoning out. Caught a kid sleeping in the front row, haha. But I think it's safe to say they ALL think I'm cray-cray.

4th of July weekend this weekend! It's a nice long weekend, which I'm STOKED for. Tomorrow, we're hitting the beach. Not sure what we'll do on Monday to celebrate, but hopefully it'll involve grilling...

Be safe & happy this weekend!
