this semester is never-ending

first and foremost: in case you didn't know, i am officially the understudy for the role of Alma in next semester's "Summer and Smoke" by Tennessee Williams, directed by my all-time favorite, grant. yay! :D i'll be in the chorus for most performances, and i get one performance as alma. exciting stuff!

just finished up my business exam, which i studied for but really didn't study for. i looked through the powerpoint slides from my professor and basically rewrote them, then looked over my notes once, and prayed that something would stay stuck in my head. and i think something did. i know the four p's of marketing : product, price, place, promotion. this was actually on the exam, what luck! so anyway, i can honestly say i didn't get an a+, but i didn't fail. and i'm master of using too many words to make something sound like an answer that isn't really an answer. cha-ching.

anyway, i still have various bits of school left in the next week. performance on thursday, monologue on tuesday, paper due tuesday, grant proposal due thursday, etc etc.

rant: can i just add that nannies are very stupid people sometimes? i was at work the other day teaching my class at the gym and there was this kid just kind of sitting and watching us, not doing anything. and then the nanny comes over to me to explain why he's doing this, and she laughs and says, "he's trying to make a poop." okay, 1. i really don't care that much about your child, let him sit and waste his parents' money, and 2. do you want him to ever be potty-trained? evidently, you'd rather teach him it's okay to just crouch in a corner and go. end rant.
