selfish

tonight i feel selfish. i ate what i wanted, and i watched what i wanted (HP - GOF). i haven't done a single responsible thing since i got home from work.

i made it through the middle school musical which ended up taking a lot more out of me than i had expected. today i finished teaching my middle school class so now i only have the one class of upper schoolers who i warp and mold into mini-designers.

i'm going to NYC this weekend, as a chaperone, to take in some theatre. we're seeing three shows - a light in the piazza, doubt, and pajama game (with harry connick jr.). having never seen a broadway show, i am understandably excited. we're taking about 22 girls. we're staying in a hostel, which i haven't done since my semester abroad in '96. i had to buy flip flops for the shower. i forgot how much i hate flip flops.

after my weekend in the city, i have a week off for spring break... while i'm sitting around on my ass doing nothing, i will get paid. this is still a foreign concept to me... especially considering the summer break - which is also paid. it's very twilight zone. during my week off i plan to hang out with my mom, go see curious george with my sister and her girls, get my apartment back in shape, and go riding with Redhorse.

once work resumes, we have about 2 1/2 weeks until tech for the upper school play which is the marriage of figaro. then all the big events are checked off my calendar and it's down to speakers, convocations, and graduation. at graduation, i have to wear my cap and gown and master's hood and be all official faculty while the girls get their diploma. how trippy.

three days after graduation i am jetting off to london for ten days to take in some workshops at the globe and a metric ton of theatre. we are also making a day trip to stratford, where we will see titus andronicus in the style of noh theater. i hope to buy better souvenirs this time around since i'll a.) have more money and b.) have more sense. it will be 10 years to the week since i was in london last and i plan to have a rippin' good time.

here's my new favorite link. my sister will remember i used to rock the house at this back when we had the full size arcade games in the basement.
