Well, its been 2 days and I've finished today's academic homework early. The only other thing I wanted to finish tonight is my Islam poster, which is fun (god, I'm a geek- but it's not a paper!). Dance was awesome as usual. I love the fact that I feel somewhat stretched within 5 minutes. My form is getting better- atleast now I can turn out....and i feel so much stronger, more stable.

wasn't i pondering something worthy of posting here? can't seem to recall, so here are some general musings:

academia is over in 2 days! my 7 page paper is manageable, i'm going to write it all day tomorrow, i've been researching for the last 2 days. World Religions and Mock Trial finals are tomorrow. World Religions is going to suck, because its mostly memorization since i didn't pay attention during the presentations. But anyway, i'm so excited- no papers for a whole quarter!

oh...researching socialism/marxism/early communisum/ etc for part of my paper....inspired me to read the Communist Manifesto by Marx. I've always had a strange respect for marxism in its ideals (have i talked about this before?) i'm suddenly greatly interested in Marx's opinions concerning what will happen after capitalism fails and the middle/upper classes are abolished. what will the proletariats do? plus for some reason i seem to feel very cool or intelligent when i read impressive-looking books in public...

started to really work on character development for my audition monologues. i'm feeling like i'm really going somewhere and learning a lot....maybe getting into my top choice is attainable. i always hoped so, but now i'm starting to be sure....i just hope i don't jinx it. anyway, i love diving into a character's persona and finding out what makes them react and say things the way they do. i like examining their relationships and learning their life or making it up in the best way to suit them. my favorite monologue is about this manic depressive woman just spouting off about life....i really need to figure out what makes her say such odd things- i mean how many ppl physically beat a total stranger because they were standing in front of the tuna fish, blocking your way so you couldn't reach?

enough now, life is better- which is evident by my boring entry...i only seem to write well (or about less trivial things) when i'm stressed/ depressed/ whatever, but not happy/content
