I'm feeling unbelievably good

unsilenceddreamWow, am I really actually and truthfully writing an entry? Hmm, I guess I am. I had tried to phone post twice, but the first time, I didn't like the post, and ended it in the middle before I deleted it, and the second time, I was doing it, and friends knocked on my door to enquire about breakfast in about fifteen minutes, so that ended that. I figured I would just write an entry, then, so that if I'm distracted, it won't matter too much.
Where have I been this past week? I've been here, I've just not written anything in the journal. I know I said I would try to write more frequently, but this week has just been filled with either this or that that writing honestly didn't end up happening, until now that is.
Monday was classes, and I honestly can't remember anything else too significant about that particular day. Tuesday was my usual meeting with the person to finish up my computer class in the library at one, and although we didn't entirely finish things, they're in the stages of being finished. I'm hoping to have everything, minus the exams of course, be finished by next Tuesday. If not, I don't know what I'll do besides be really stressed and upset. I really really really want to get this class over with once and for all.
Tuesday night I ended up going to see Anthony Rapp, a member of the original Rent cast, speak on campus. I had known about it the week prior, and really wanted to go. I was slightly worried when it was around seven, and I couldn't find anyone who either wasn't away or I didn't think would want to go, but I did end up finally finding someone, so it all worked out. We got there close to nine, which is when it started, and were informed that all the regular seats had been taken, but as luck would have it, a few of the groups who had signed up to go I guess didn't, and so we were able to get in with their seats. My friend Queena and I sat relatively close to Anthony, too, which was really nifty.
From the time I went into the room, Rent songs playing and people singing, I could just feel the love in the atmosphere. At one point, while waiting outside to get in, one of the girls was really stressing out because there was the possibility of her not being able to go in because of no more seats. I don't remember if she got in or not, but if she didn't, I'm sure she was mad. Anthony talked about the making of the Rent Broadway show as well as the movie, and shared some personal stories about Jonathan Larson that were really moving. I had no idea that he died right before the play was to be premiered, and that bit of news really touched me and made me feel sad, I'm not sure why. It was his life's dream to make this show and see it performed, and he didn't get to see it. I just really felt for him at that point. Anthony also talked about his book and read some from it. I really want to get that book and read it, and it's available from the public library here, but my hold position on the list at the time I looked for it would have been five, and I doubt I'd be here when the book got around to me to read, so I didn't put a request in. Ah well, I'll have to find out a way to get it. Maybe I'll just buy it, I don't know.
After he spoke, Anthony sang an a capella versiona of Seasons of Love, which was really moving to hear him do. It's one of Rent's more cheery, everything's-right-with-the-world kind of songs, and I like that. I even felt brave enough and got to ask Anthony a question, which was really neat. I asked him what the significance was of the protest scene in regards to the whole show. After all that, Anthony stayed until I want to say 12:30 or one to sign books and various other things that people wanted signed, or just to meet people for pictures and whatnot. After waiting in like for about an hour and a half, I finally was able to meet him, and he signed my DVD. I got pictures with him also, so that was nifty. I need to see if/when they're going to be developed so that I can have a copy. I felt bad for making my friend Queena wait that long, especially for the signing part, but he was there, and I was there, and I really didn't want to leave if I didn't have to. It was late, though, and I probably shouldn't feel bad--Queena told me as much actually--but I did, although I really really really do appreciate your willing to go with me, Queena, I really do. That was something I had wanted to do, and I did it, so yay for that! It was funny, Monday night on Ventrilo, when a few of us were on--Aaron, Peter, Caitlin H, AKA![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caitlin45, Clarance maybe, and possibly even Sam, rangoon, too, at one point; I can't remember--I had mentioned that Anthony Rapp was coming to our school, and Caitlin and Aaron especially flipped out in excitement and jealousy. Aaron blatantly declared to Peter that they were "going to Delaware tomorrow," and that would be that. They didn't end up coming--it was short notice, the performance was late at night, and transportation would have been an issue--but would have been nifty if they hat. I ended up getting back around one, and talking on the phone for a bit until I went to bed around 1:30.
Wednesday morning I had my 8AM, and is usual with me, though my alarm was set for 6:30, I woke up around six. Classes went as usual, and I stayed after my first class for a few to talk with my professor about the paper that I really need to finish writing today if it kills me, and I know exactly what I'm going to write about--actually I knew before, things are just more clear to me now. Wednesday after class I did I don't know what until plans somehow formulated and Kristen, my grandparents, Mom and I all went to Margarita's for pizza and a pitcher of beer--But Light, which really tastes like water, go figure that one. Momom had just gotten back from a two-week trip to Florida, so it was cool to visit with everyone. Apparently she had a good time on her trip, so that was a good thing.
It also ended up on Wednesday that Peter decided to come down and visit since today/this weekend plans are to get my paper written, and he had other plans, too, I think. Needless to say, he got here Wednesday night, and although had originally planned to leave on Thursday, stayed and left yesterday evening instead. It was really really nice to see him and spent time together, and we both very much enjoyed it, so that's all that matters I think :). I had class yesterday, but as it turned out I only had my 10:10, my 2:15 professor emailing us the day before saying that class would be canceled completely after saying earlier that it would end at two, fifteen minutes early, and my Political Science professor sending an email shortly before I left for class saying that his class was canceled as well. That was definitely very nifty, yay for only one class yesterday! I don't really know why, but Peter insisted that he go to class with me, and that he did. I'm sure sometimes people bring their friends or whoever to class if they're visiting, and I sit in the back anyway, and it's a lecture hall, so I think it was fine. It was just really nice to spend time with my boyfriend, talking and spending quality time together, definitely a vital part of any relationship. I really really hope he knows how much I appreciated it :D. These next few weeks and then the almost two months that I'm away at the internship should be interesting, I honestly hope we can figure something out to see each other before I leave. But right, that's enough of the Inside Details of the Life of Liz. Moving on...
Last night I had the induction ceremony for the Computer Science honor society, and that went well. Liv was being slightly weird, for some reason not wanting to sit still, but that's Liv for ya. When we got to Gore and were waiting to go into the room, I told Liv to sit on the floor and she immediately laid down like she was bored. It was a small ceremony, and apparently I was the only one who brought family with me, which I found slightly odd, but what can you do?
Last night after the ceremony was just spent relaxing, trying to get my stomach to stop hurting like it had done for the whole afternoon yesterday and, after I thought it went away this morning, is doing again now that I've eaten something. I don't know what it was, although Peter and I are leaning towards blaming it on Dunkin Donuts and the dude who made us our begals and my coffee with three shots of espresso--yes, count them, three; I was really tired, and it was honestly the only way I thought I'd stay awake for class, but that really wasn't a big deal as I only had one--but it wasn't the espresso I'm almost sure of it. Ah well, it was really annoying, and still is actually come to think of it.
This morning I woke up, around a quarter to nine, not by choice either, (yay for not being able to sleep late, ever, seriously!), whereupon I took care of the dog, and then went to breakfast around eleven or so with a few friends. I did other random stuff in between, though I don't know what besides try at those two unsuccessful phone posts. That brings me to now, sitting here writing this. I should really finish this and go work on my paper as I really do want to have it done today. It's only a draft, and he's going to give it back to us with comments on it, but I really do want to make it as close to my final paper as possible so that I'll have less work to do in fixing it. I'm just way too picky about my writing...
Aside from that, I don't know what I'll do. I have some other reading to do for class, and laundry, (fun and exciting), but the paper is my main priority at this point. Once that's done and sent off, I'll feel a little less stressed and maybe like I can actually breathe a bit. Tounfinishedpoem, you're amazing, and thanks for everything :D. Oh, and hi by the way, since I'm sure you'll end up reading this at some point.
I'm off to maybe try to relax somewhat before I start this paper, or maybe I'll just give up on that and start it now. Either way, my stomach really needs to not be annoying and cooperate with me, seriously. More later, I swear it.
Where have I been this past week? I've been here, I've just not written anything in the journal. I know I said I would try to write more frequently, but this week has just been filled with either this or that that writing honestly didn't end up happening, until now that is.

Date: 2006-05-07 01:36 pm (UTC)Thanks for the comment. Good luck seeing Rent. I am a member of Bookshare, so maybe I'll grab it from there. I was going to get it and scan it for them, but I guess I don't have to do that now.
The movie is very very good, yes.
As for the paper, it's done at least, the draft anyway, which is a good thing.
Take care, and thanks for the comment.

Date: 2006-05-07 01:34 pm (UTC)Thanks for the comment, and for the congrats on both the boyfriend and the honor society. I'm really glad I could join the honor society, and yes, I'm quite happy with my boyfriend.
As for school, it does seem amazing that this year is almost over. Just a few more weeks...
Take care.

Can you believe that you're just about done with an entire year at UDee? Time flies! That's amazing.
And also props for the bf. You seem very happy with him.
Take care,

Date: 2006-05-07 01:31 pm (UTC)Oh cool, yeah, my high school chorus sang that song, too. As for seeing Rent on Broadway, that must have been amazing. I'll have to read that entry sometime.
Take care, and thanks for the comment.

Date: 2006-05-07 05:57 am (UTC)First, let me just say that going to class with you was pretty interesting. When your professor said Bohemia (Not sure if that is the coreect spelling or not). I was going to ask him if the place really existed or not. Secondly, spend the three days with you is very enjoyable :D. Third, you are amazing very amazing :D. I'm sure I'll see you before you go to your internship and I'm sure I'll be seeing you while you are at your internship :). I'm really blaming the guy who made the bagels.
Ok, I'm ending this here since I'm on the phone with you.

Date: 2006-05-07 01:30 pm (UTC)In class, when my professor mentioned Bohemia, (that is the correct spelling, you were right), La Vie Voheme started playing in my head, at least the part that started off "Bohemia, Bohemia, it's a fallacy in your head..." It was all I could do not to laugh, especially when you just had to mention it, too.
Secondly, those three days were definitely amazing :D. I could go on about that, but I won't, simply because some things should just be left between the people who they happen to. You already know my feelings about that though, or should anyway.
Thirdly, you're pretty amazing yourself :D, even though I've said as much already.
Yes, I definitely hope we can see each other at some point before my summer becomes crazy and I'm doing I have no clue what for I don't know how long and I forget which part of the country I need to be in with who and for how long. Something like that, anyway.
Yes, the guy who made the begals really isn't too cool, I have no idea what we did to him, but he really didn't have to go and do that, did he?
Ok, I think that covers everything. If not, I'll talk to you later anyway, so if I forget anything, it really doesn't matter does it? I'm still not fully awake I don't think either, which could be part of it...
