Today is Tuesday...No, wait! It’s Wednesday, and I’ve had approximately 2- 1/2 hours sleep in the past 2 days, but oddly enough I'm doing okay.
Well, if okay is getting incredibly shaky in the middle of the day and going home after my second class today, then I’m okay. You see, Tuesdays are my long days; I am at school from 9am-9pm. I basically have 3 back-to-back classes, starting with my 9-4pm studio, with an hour lunch break, back to class and when that one concludes at 4 o’clock I have a few minutes to get my belongings packed away and somehow make down that interminably long hallway in the AIADO Dept. at my school and be in my next class and ready to show my homework by 4:15pm. It’s a bit crazy, but that’s what I do.
After my Lab, which is more like a lecture/seminar type class with more homework than is necessary for a 1.5 credit class I dash off to my 6 o’clock, which runs ‘til 9pm. This is the class I missed today, I was incredibly lucky that my Lab class concluded early today and I got to take a moment to collect myself and talk a bit with a couple of friends, one of which was supposed to be in the same 6 o’clock class [He skipped too] I didn’t feel too bad about it, because I felt so bad. I had done fine pretty much the entire day, I made sure to bring good food with me to keep my body fueled, but I think that after the field visit for my studio, which took us to the basement of a historic Chicago building, and with all of the temperature and air quality changes I think that it just sent me over the edge, physically. I needed to get home, eat and get a little rest, which I did, but after only a couple of hours I was woken up by a phone call from my little sister asking about our summer travel plans and I couldn’t get back to sleep. I made some rice and ate while watching a movie.
To segue a little I need to comment on the movie, it was a dance movie. I love dance movies! They are my favorite, it doesn’t matter if it’s a musical from the 40’s or a contemporary dance drama, I love them all, and the one I watched tonight just made me want to dance, which is good. I need to do something physical that will help me relax and de-stress, so I’ve decided that until I leave for my summer trip(s) I’m going to take dance classes, starting with ballet and if I can get a partner, hopefully some salsa, or ballroom. I’m so excited, I’m going tomorrow to sign up. Hopefully I can get that and my passport photos done tomorrow. Well, since it’s currently 1:04am and I’ve not really slept, I think I’m going to do that and hope that I get everything done that I need to tomorrow.
