Blogger Fail

I am awful at updating.....

With that said, my first week of classes is going quite well. I am taking scene design, which i'm super excited about. It was a great excuse to buy more art supplies. My boyfriend, we'll call him Jessby, and I drove 45 minutes to get to the art supply store ( had to go to VA beach b/c there is a serious lack of art stores in Newport News) and then I proceeded to spend over $100. I'm taking "Classical dramitic impulse" in which we will read and discuss;

1. The Theatre: A concise History
2. Oedipus the King
3. Everyman and other Miracle, Morality plays
4. Richard III
5. The Love of Three Oranges
6. The Rover or the Brandished Caviliers
7. The Cid, Cinna, The Theatrical Illusion

I have BIO lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I am so proud of myself, not only have I kept up with the reading, but I am a few sections ahead, and i'm taking excellent notes. I'm in BIO lab once a week, which isn't too bad, but its an 8 am. YUCK! And the other three credits that round me out to 13 credits for the semester, are an independent study in the costume shop. I'm going to get a few costumes that are mine to build from start to finish and i'm going to be the professor's design assistant!!!! I'm so excited! I think this is going to be a lovely semester.

On a non class related note; Jessby has no on campus meal plan this semester and he only "cooks" prepackaged foods for himself and almost NEVER eats vegetables. So I decided to do something about it, he's helping pay for groceries and I'm making us dinner ATLEAST two nights a week. So far its going well, and I think that I will eat better as a result of the this arrangement. I make more exciting foods (and more balanced meals) when I'm not just cooking for myself.
