Good morning ladies and gentlemen! This is your captain with no name speaking and I'm here to rock your world - not really, but that song's been in my head all week.
This is day four of my neverending day. It has only been lightly sprinkled with naps - I have totaled 6 hours since Tuesday morning, and have skipped about 4 meals (not counting breakfast because that I never eat) all for the sake of academics. Right now I feel abnormally wide awake probably due to the whopping three hours of sleep that I just accidentally got. So what has Angela been up to this week? Well at 11 pm, I walked out of studio feeling dubious about my hastily completed project which I have to go in and hang up in an hour. It's a very good project, but I'm afraid only the Maya is up to presentation quality. The reason behind all this is that I've had quite a bit to do. I think that I could have turned out an astounding presentation withe time to spare had I 1) not had physics homework due Tuesday, 2) not had a drawing portfolio that needed four more drawings due Thursday, 3) not had two papers due for my English class due today (I'm finishing up my second one now, thank god), 4) not had Dancer's symposium rehearsals on Monday and Tuesday from 6 till midnight, 5) not had a violin recital on Thursday that I had to practice for on Tuesday. So um..yes, it's been a long long day which will not end until around midnight tonight. I fully intend to be passed out cold on my bed by then in a fit of sheer exhaustion, only to be rudely awakened by my alarm clock at 11 am so that I can get to my violin lesson tomorrow at noon. I had hoped to at least get a little nap in tomorrow, but it looks impossible, as we're in crits tomorrow from 10:30 am till 4:30 pm followed directly with Dancer Symposium curtain call at 5:00. I am finding all this mildly unfair.
I have come to several realizations though, in the past week. 1) Prioritizing one's time is particularly important and one must keep in mind that that is all one can do at the moment - it just can't be helped. 2) I am, in fact, an attractive person - not one that men flock towards or follow with their eyes, but still, attractive. 3) The best way to feel awake is to not really sleep for 4 days (I'll let you know tonight if 5 days is even better. 4) Stage fright is non-existant when I dance, unless my costume comes apart while dancing. 5) Stage fright is non-existant when playing violin as long as I don't look at the audience. 6) My studio work is very well made with rigorous detail, but sadly, is unimaginative. 7) Sunrise no longer bothers me and I haven't noticed the darkest hour before dawn so much lately.
