I meant to post something on New Years Eve, but that didn't happen... Heh. Lets rewind back to December! I didn't get the job I was hopeing for. In fact I ended up not getting a job at all. Which really sucks in so many fraking ways. I wasn't able to get anything for Jon for his birthday or Christmas making me the lamest girlfriend ever. Especially after he got me this amazing art with a little wooden geasture model in it. Oh and a box of Godiva chocolates and a Godiva Holiday bear. And I am pretty sure there was something else but now I can't remember what it was. Oh oh oh! I looked up and remembered what it was. A "Goverment Issue" Zombie Survival Guide. How in the world could I forget about that one. It has some gore-y pictures that accompany the survival tips and they are sort of crazy. Don't think I am gonna put it up where I can see it from my bed. Really creepy. He says that not getting a present or two from me was ok, and that being with me is perfectly more than enough for him. I still feel like a bad girlfriend though. Maybe I can make it up to him on Valentine's Day with some chocolate and some strawberry cheesecake. While on the subject of Christmas, mine was surprisingly calm. Hung out at the house, ate a ton of food that I shouldn't have, opened a few gifts. Got an xbox and a year of live but where the xbox hangs out there is no way to connect it to the internet sooo we has to buy one of the router things for it. Not sure how it attaches on there, but I have an xbox. That is all that matters.
Here are some semester updates that make me super excited about life in general at the moment! I finally got my grades which I was really nervous about getting. There was nearly a two week period that I was out doing to a really severe stomach/cholera/flu thing so I had to play a good amount of catch up. I also had this fear looming over my shoulder that I was going to get a C in Theater History because I didn't talk as often as I was required to. My conference with my professor after the class was finished did not inspire hope that I would do better than a C. He made me promise that me and him would have an understanding that I would try to communicate my thoughts to him.. This man is very smart and I have great respect for the knowlegde he has. I just do not enjoy the class, it sort of goes over my head sometimes which worries me. Anyways... Like I said, I got my grades. Finally. The list looks a little something like this ---->
- Yoga: A- (wasn't expecting that, but meh. Probably could have talked more about the book that I avoided reading)
- Profiles of Disease: B+ (I thought I was going to fail this class so hard because I missed quite a few. And the class was so vague with no assignments..)
- Drawing For Performance Production: A (YEAH, and all for not really trying.)
- Lighting Fundamentals: B (Holy Jesus was this one a surprise. My head got so jumbled at the end of the final plot. I guess there were missed lights and such.)
-Production Lab III: B+ (That was kind of a WTF... but then again... I didn't really do much so.. there is that.)
- Theater History: B- (I think I scared the crap out of my folks when I squeaked about this one. Was not expecting it and was so happy to see a B. A low one, but a B)
- Intro to Production Design 3-D: A (This one was a given. That class is fairly easy but probably the best hours spent at CCoA).
With no Cs in the mix this time around, it means that my career GPA went up. Like a point or two, but it did go up. So I am now sitting at a 3.3150. Which is fairly decent. Not the best in the world, but I am happy for now. Now is the time to troll for scholarship which are so far a pain in the ass to find. I need to become another race or become gay. Neither of which I am really willing to do. hopefully I can find a few good ones off the school's list. I need money. Ugh. Maybe I should start vlogging like Meekakitty on Youtube (look up her, she is kind of nerdy and goofy :) )... but then again, I am not a spazzy, cute red head. Oh well. AH! While I am on the subject of school, I should mention that I got all of the classes I wanted with the exception of one. Scenic Painting, which I was kind of depending on to fill my Thursday so I am not going in for just one classes. I got bumped out of the classes because there were older students with few semesters left who needed to take the class. Now I just have my 20th Century Thinkers class on that day. Balls. Two hour commute for just an hour class and then two hours back. I need to get an apartment or slum it up in the dorms next year or get a car/license. Two of which require that I get an actual job... Not really a choice option for me. I need to fill out the RA application that picked off a freshman. It is due on the 28th and I totally meant to work on it all break. FML. Maybe I can bust it out this week. Otherwise, I will shelling out the extra $3000 a semester to share a room with another CCoA Student.... I need to get that RA position.
On to another subject that isn't college, Umm.. Jon was in a production of High School Musical over the break that was put on through Village Theatre's Kid Stage. Village is in Issaquah and it is a great company or so I have heard. I actually haven't seen a show there yet. Kind of a crime really. He was Coach Bolton and sang back-up for several songs off stage. I didn't get to go see this show because I had no $$$ which really made me upset. Not seeing him perform.... I heard from a few people that he did a really good job in the role. One parent thought that Jon was a parent in real life. Hahaha. Funny audience member. Next up is being The Boss in SideShow with ArtsWest in the summer. He did just audition for another role with a group out of Kameno Island though. They are doing The King and I and want him for the role of The Kralahome. Or at least that is the part he auditioned for. There was talk about getting him an acting coach to help him not seem like an 19 year old trying to be a 36 year old Siamese man. This production is slated to take place before SideShow, so it could keep him busy. I just want him to make sure to stay focused on school and doing a good job at work. I am extremely proud of him though for all of these shows that he is taking part in. Jon is very, very talented and very charismatic. He is going to do very well as an actor. Speaking of that, I never talked about how Rent went. Well.. It was amazing. A-effin-mazing. I cried during I'll Cover You (reprise), both times that I saw the show. There were a few cast members that didn't quite in to the atmosphere of the ensemble. Also there were a few lead who were much weaker than the rest, detracting from the impact of the show. Collins and Angel (unintentionally) stole the show everytime they walked on stage. There was something so real and tangible about their relationship as a couple. Rent: School Edition was easily one of the best young cast shows that I have seen so far.
How am I personally doing outside of the amazing relationship? Kind of badly actually. I feel really distant from everyone including my family. I am not sure if that is just a part of growing up or what. But I don't feel connected to anyone anymore. It is as if they are all slipping away slowly. Everyone seems to have something much better to do than to hanging around with me. Just sort of sucks. I don't mean to whine but I set up a little movie gathering so I could see people for the first time in a long time.... No one showed up. As that has NEVER happened before, I actually took it pretty personally. I don't think I have ever been that miserable and upset before. Include the one break-up I have had. (That was solved with spending all of New Year's Eve and Day with Jon and his family). Meh, that is depressing and no one wants to read that, so sorry about that. I think about it sometimes, leading me to be rather sad. Jon is increasingly becoming the closest friend that I have and that isn't a terrible thing. It is actually awesome to have someone that I can tell everything (no matter what it is) and have them still love me more than before..
P.S: my power keeps flickering awkwardly. I do not like that at all. I think it is time to head for the bed. <3
