the second first day

Good morning....

So today is the second 'first day' of classes. I get to go to Jazz, Biology, and work. Today we also start rehearsals for 'The Birthday Party' and I'll begin my nightly appearances as the Assistant Stage Manager. Who's excited? I'm excited to see the show go up, but I'm already worried about the work level that will be involved in my Theatre History class [let's call it TH for short].

Yesterday brought a lot of fun times although a few things about yesterday frightened me.

-after not speaking much french at all this summer, my 2020 professor decided to only speak french to us. I understood most of it, but when it was my chance to speak I basically froze and tried my best to do a mediocre job. *sigh*
-as I was already nervous about TH, I soon learned that all my fears were correct. I already have to read 70 pages from our textbook and outline them as well as read 'Trojan Women' and do a post and a quiz on it. All due by Monday. This cannot be good for my stress levels
-I realized that my throat is sore and that my glands are swollen. I have my first voice lesson on Friday. This can only mean bad things.
-after seeing just all of these things on my schedule, I'm worried that the added stress of rehearsals is just going to kill me.

Well....at least I know that I tried to start with a positive attitude. Last night I re-wrote my TH notes and began reading 'Trojan Women'. I'm going to attempt to finish it today and start deciding on what to post, although I think there is a prompt. Then I get to start reading and outlining my TH textbook. Oh, the joys of being a Theatre major....which, by the way, is a lot harder than people seem to think. A lot of people think that it's an easy major that won't get me anywhere in life. I beg to differ. Some of these classes are going to be harder than other upper level courses, it all just depends on what you see as 'challenging'.

Alright, time to put on my dance clothes and get ready for a 15m sprint across campus after being exhausted by jazz. Wish me luck!
