The apparition of these faces in the crowd

Things are surprisingly good on the homefront. It's just been busy as hell. As evidenced by the time I'm posting this -- I've barely been home a lot in the past couple of weeks. But it is all coming to an end on Sunday.

I, Lia -- am in a show. Yes, that's not that surprising to those of you who know me. However -- the main point of this is that I am singing in this. And have speaking lines. The show is great (called Stand By Your Man and is the story of Tammy Wynette) and for the most part has been fun. There are a couple of assholes involved that are taking away the fun. But -- what can you do?

I've been at the theatre for the majority of my days and nights -- between helping mom finish up costumes, my own rehearsals, and hanging around while dad finishes doing stuff with the mikes, it's led to some very late nights.

We open on Thursday and it's a short 2 week run. yippie for that.

Also? This stomach bug that's going around? Really freaking sucks. It's knocked me on my ass for the past two days. Bread and applesauce and Tim Horton's Bagels = ♥ right about now...

In other news, jobs are good. I'm doing some great business with teaching and am supposed to be getting a few more private students. The point I'm at -- if I can get four more students, I'm quitting Starbucks. Hell, I'm getting really close to doing it right now. I don't need the job to be honest and it's not doing much good for my back to be perfectly honest.

Sadly, ended up not taking the Law class. It got moved to a night I had conflicts so it didn't work out. Woe. But -- it might have been for the best. I have some other 'irons in the fire' so to speak. XD

And now I'm collapsing into bed. It's been a long few weeks. I still *sigh* owe some packages, but as it's after New Year's -- I wanted to wait for the concert DVD from New Year's Eve to come in. If it's not here by the end of the week, they're going out on Monday. I'm tired of waiting. Bah.

♥ love you all. And my days are counting down to when I can sit online for evenings and not have to bloody go ANYWHERE at night.

Well -- good news. In essence, the thesis is finished. I have one more chapter to write (and a whoooole lot of revising to do) but in essence, it's done.

Currently sitting at about 70 pages and just under 20,000 words. This was SUPPOSED to be 30 pages.

I'm soooo glad to have it done. And being able to do stuff again. I like having my life back.

Now all that's left is to get done the mamssive amount of work that has to be finished before May 7th. 28 days until graduation -- and still SO much to do!

Because I have a lot for one teeny entry, I'll do what the cool kids do and number my list. *g*

1. Survived my first week back at school after break. I could say JUST how many days there are until I graduate, but a daily countdown might show just how anxious I am to get out of here -- especially when I still have a CRAP load of work to do (Thesis; German Paper; Orchestration... SHOOT me).

2. Had a VERY brilliant day yesterday. The postings for who made it into the Bach Festival Orchestra went up and my name wasn't on there. *pause* see me cry and wail. Would have helped if I may have tried to get in. In other words, I have my nights back. I'm happy. I can deal with 45 minutes of orchestra. XD

3. This morning sucked. Set TWO alarms so I'd have a backup in case anything happened. Neither one went off. See me NOT in German right now. *headdesk*

4. Today will get better -- avengangle is coming into town today *dance* And staying the night and then will be my date to con formal tomorrow night. *G* At least there will be ONE bit of fun there. *mutters about having more fun playing cards last year with Alex, Alexis and Sam*

5. Rehearsal with accompanist today for my recital. EEEP. I just realised THAT is in two weeks. Again, I reiterate: EEEEEEP!

6. Need to remind self to post the fics I did for Valensmut and Loveletters -- as I already forgot to post the ones from Smutmas and HarryHolidays.

♥ Hope everyone has a great weekend, and if you're out today, take care. 2nd highest day for auto accidents.

And on the same vein: Happy St Patrick's Day!
