PhotoHunt: Absent
You'll notice I haven't yet posted a PhotoHunt entry today. Chances are I probably won't. Things are insane here. Let me just give you a taste of what I'm talking about.
Yesterday's Schedule
7-11am (roughly) -- Stress about a crisis that is resolved as rapidly and unexpectedly as it was dumped in my lap.
11am-12:30pm -- Run around campus making sure new crises don't arise from solution to recently solved crisis, also work to find resolution to OTHER crisis that has reached crisis point and stayed there for the past week or so.
12:30-1:20pm -- Teach
1:20-1:30pm -- Race across campus to second class.
1:30-4:30pm -- Teach
4:30pm -- Race back across campus to meet with students in original building.
4:35-4:55pm -- Meet with students, who were all there on time, unlike their instructor.
5-5:45pm -- Eat dinner at local coffee shop type restaurant while working lines.
6-6:30pm -- Try to work lines some more. Unfortunately, too tired to think.
6:30-8:30pm -- Rehearsal. Run show.
8:30-9:15pm -- Drive home. Stop at grocery store on the way. (Out of wine. I'm currently dealing with stress by drinking. Joking. Sort of.)
9:15pm -- Collapse on couch after first tidying house in exhaustion-fueled frenzy. (You know what I mean, I bet you've done it too.)
11:30pm -- Finally get around to crawling to bed. Pass out almost immediately. From exhaustion, people. I had one glass.
Today's Schedule
8:30-10am -- Rehearse in the performance space on the actual set because we haven't actually done Act II there yet and we tech tomorrow.
10am -- Walk to office, leaving car in parking lot. I'll be back in that building soon enough. Fall on the ice just out side of office building. Feel my sacrum go "gink". Hoping desperately it's fixable by me and won't require finding a chiropractor.
10:15am-1:25pm -- Grade student assignments. Make tea, listen to Zelenka, sigh occasionally.
1:30pm -- Walk back to the theatre for a matinee of Maaike's play, the only performance of it I can actually attend.
2pm -- Curtain held due to some kerfluffle at the ticket desk.
2:30pm(ish) -- Performance begins. It's a good play, there are some strong performances and some not so strong performances. Part of it makes me cry.
3:45pm -- Arrive back at my office. Make some more tea. Begin grading again.
4:30pm -- Finish that stack of assignments. Enter grades in grading spreadsheet. Trying to decide whether to do more grading or to run away and play. Next on the list is exams, and I'm really having trouble with the idea of working on them given that I disagree with the entire concept.
4:45pm -- Decide to practice Avoidance Through Blogging. (It's working fairly well so far, though I think I'm going to have to cave and grade the fucking tests.)
From here? Dinner. Possibly another show. It's either see it tonight or see it tomorrow afternoon, which I'd kind of like to take completely off, actually.
Okay. I'll grade exams for an hour and then call Dave to see if he's ready for dinner. I'll see the show tomorrow. After dinner, I want to go home and work on my lines.
