Power Tools and Alcohol

Sunday evening....winding down after seemingly not having a weekend, but I know that isn't the case. In reality I think this only because I've a had a few measly hours to myself, as opposed to the luxury of emerging from my room at dinnertime. I've spent most of my days this weekend at the theatre, yesterday working (yay for powertools) and today at dry tech.

Last night was fun but tiring. The Homecoming dance- and the main reason to tell whether or not you're in high school or college is the alcohol. Everyone comes to the dance either drunk or tipsy. Apparently they're more fun if you've had a drink. I almost took the plunge since it had been a long week. But I had this nagging voice in my head reminding me about all the work I had to do Sunday to make the rest of my week better. I didn't need to be dealing with a hangover. So out of our group 4 got completely trashed and 3 of us stayed sober. But we dressed up and went out to dinner at the Olive Garden. AM and I made the mistake of eating at school because we were invited at last minute. I probably looked like an anorexic because all I ordered was a cup of coffee. But I loved it...the neo theatre group....with the intellectual conversations and just general antics.

The 4 get trashed in E's room....shots galore and it was very amusing watching their drunkeness progress. But they were funny. It definetly made the dance better. They had no inhibitions and had no problems with pulling us out on the dance floor. But I felt the need to babysit AM because we live in the same building. That part wasn't the greatest, even though she wasn't that far gone. She knew she was drunk, it was just everything was intensified. I hadn't had to deal with that before. But she could walk and her speech wasn't horribly slurred...it's not like she passed out and vomited.

I'm feeling stretched again....too many things and not enough time. I wish I had a weekend. I wish I had time to sleep. Granted, I did get up at 11 but I went to bed at 4. I had 2 papers to write this week and the opening of Ruthless this weekend. My workload increases during hell week, I love the timing.
