It isn't that I haven't been reading. Oh no, I've been reading; just not the material for the project, because I can't justify more books on top of my in-class reading (I have three plays to read before tomorrow). I'm not abandoning the project. I'm just giving myself a longer time to accomplish it. But you can bet that I'll be ready for Banned Book Week 2011! Watch out, I'm coming for you with some fierce literary analysis.
The purpose of this blog is to remind myself to do new things. Exciting things. Sparkly things. But here's the thing: I've been so busy doing new and exciting things that I haven't had time to write about them! Here's a quick rundown since we last caught up:
1) Life fun! In the last few weeks I've visited the farmer's market, had a wonderful birthday crab feast, visited my hometown to eat everything, introduced my boyfriend to my parents, went roller skating, been a mommy to five cats, learned a show, and made SO MUCH GORGEOUS FOOD! And then...
2) I started my summer class at JHU. Religion and 20th Century Drama. It's fascinating, and my professor is a cute little old man who has somehow maintained a sense of wonder about the world. I love it. I'm also signed up to take his Religions of the Emerging World class this fall. In the next few weeks I will be doing a research project on Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night which is super excellent because I love that play. The only thing that could stand in my way would be a lack of time due to...
4) I'll do the work at my 2nd job at the radio station. I DJ every Sunday, and it's a five hour shift where I'm by myself. I should be able to get some things finished, if I don't choose procrastination and write a blog instead. For example, I should really be reading Ionesco's Rhinoceros right now. Le sigh...One always wants what one cannot have. You see, yesterday I really wanted to read Rhinoceros, but I couldn't because...
5) I was at work all day, where my position has changed. I was promoted to Regional Leasing Specialist on the Corporate Marketing Team! It's an exciting change, and during the one day I've floated so far I really felt like I was doing something worthwhile. Sadly, I'm stuck at the community where I've spent the last year until we get the new gal up to speed. I'll really start moving around after August ends. It'll be cool to learn a new job that caters to my strengths. So, that'll be happening hard core in September, which is also when...
6) Hedwig... opens for a four week run! Four shows a week! Two jobs! Two Grad classes at JHU!
I'm scheduling a nervous breakdown for October.
