Just Stuff

Today has been a "blah" kind of day. I went to class this morning, and frankly, it didn't spark my interest. Once again in my Tech Theatre class we talked about the Florida State University School of Theatre Production Handbook. Despite being written by artists, it has to be one of the most boring pieces of writing I have ever encountered. Not that it's supposed to be interesting, but for goodness sake, for people who's jobs it is to teach people how to entertain, you'd think they could write something that would pique my interest. But no, we instead spent 50 minutes of valuable sleep time reading verbatim from the Production Handbook. It was mostly about fire safety, what to do in case of a fire, stuff like that. Stay calm and run for your life was basically the gist of it.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, WHY HAVEN'T I GONE TO THE POST OFFICE YET?!?

Anyway, after Intro to Tech Theatre, I had Intro to Shakespeare, where Dr. Barbour told us what to think about Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. We ended class right before everyone DIES. I was disappointed; I wanted to read about the deaths of Hamlet and company. We start Othello next class, after the dispatchment of every major character in our current play. Right.

I came back to my beautiful house on Jefferson St., the sidewalk of which is currently barricaded by our mountain of rubbish (crammed neatly into garbage bags) pulled from the bushes and flowers of our front yard last Saturday morning. I personally dug up five saplings from the maze of bushes which surround my front porch. I didn't want to, I like trees, but I would never hug one, unless it talked back, not that I talk to trees; never mind.

MTV kept me company while I ate my lunch, then I went upstairs and took a nap before my 1:25 class, to which I was on time for once. We analyzed a play, sort of, talked about it, yeah. It was pretty interesting though. I just don't want to write the paper for it which is due Wednesday.

After that, everything has been "blah." And this has been my "blah" day. Buy a llama.

Hey Laura :)

So I bought a llama yesterday. . . now what do I do with it??

So anyways, I like your third to last paragraph. It was very creative. I apologise in advance that a lot of my comments will be compliments of the grammatical and syntax vein because it's what I sit in class listening about for hours a day. But yeah. :-p

Love ya!!!

Ha! I can finally comment on your posts! I'm not taking any grammar or syntax courses so my comments shall be plain out boring and uneducational. I like llamas. I have an alpaca stuffed animal made from alpaca fur. it's SOOO soft.

Awww....thanks for posting guys.

Amy, talk about diction, syntax, grammatical errors, whatever you want, it's all good; I'm actually working on improving my writing, so you might as well.

And Desiree, I'm glad you can post now too!!

As for the llamas, keep them through winter, shave them when necessary, make the wool into yarn, and make the yarn into a shawl, they're all the rage now!
