Stressed

So, why is it okay for everyone else to be stressed when they only have one assignment due, but when I have one paper, one essay, two schematics, a flat, a mask, half a workbook, and a portfolio due I'm overreacting? I'm really getting fed up with having to deal with people's constant whining and complaining when they really don't have all that much to do. If they would just sit down and do it instead of goofing off on facebook or staying out until all hours of the night. I've slept maybe eight hours in the past two nights, I'm exhausted and today will be another late night. Did I mention that my stagecraft professor sent out an e-mail today informing the class that we had to strike the dance company stuff? *cries*

Oh, wait, I can't get frustrated... I'm Jill, which means I can handle anything, plus listen to everyone and their dog bitch. GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm also expected to help everyone else with their stuff too.

USITT Elections

Today was the final meeting of the year for U.S.I.T.T.
We discussed plans for next year and held elections for executive positions.

I'm the chair!

Extremely Bored

You Are a Painting

You are a passionate person. You see the emotional undertones that others miss. Compared to other people, you are sentimental. You allow yourself to feel everything. Believe that art should capture the beauty and mood of a moment. The best art speaks to your heart. It makes you smile, dream, or even cry.

What Type of Art Are You?

You Are a Brainy Girl!

Whether you're an official student or a casual learner, you enjoy hitting the books. You know a little bit about everything, and you're always dying to know more. For a guy to win your heart, he's got to share some of your intellectual interests. A awesome book collection of his own doesn't hurt either!

What Kind of Girl Are You?

You Are in the Anal Stage of Development

According to Dr. Freud, you are stuck in the anal stage of development. If your parents didn't discipline you enough as a young child, you may be messy, reckless, and defiant. If your parents disciplined you too severely as a young child, you may be uptight, stingy, and passive aggressive. No matter where you fall, you are likely to have a few problems with authority.

What Freudian Stage Are You In?

Closing Night

Urinetown closes tonight and it's been a great run. Granted, there have been times when I've not thought that, but as a whole, it's been fantastic.

We have wound up selling out six out of seven nights. The only reason we didn't sell out last Saturday was because it was Easter weekend.

:)

This is Urinetown!

So, let me tell you about the past three days.

Wednesday was Final Dress and boy, was it eventful! We'd been on headset, preparing to start the run, when there is a scream on headset. (If you've ever heard a scream on headset, it hurts!) Then there is more squealing coming from the same girl (our light op) and our stage manager. Then there is hysterical laughter and shushing coming from the stage manager. There was a bat in the booth! And it had landed on our light op! Poor girl, her name on headset is now "Batty" or "Bats."

Then, one of the spot lights started sqeaking and in an attempt to fix it, the operator broke it (not really, it just came off it's pipe).

Later, near the end of the run, Senator Fipp hit his knee HARD on the door frame as he was trying to run around towards his next entrance. There was a skidmark that was almost three feet long. And there is one hell of a dent in the door.


Last night was opening night and it was fantastic! The cast and crew did a fantastic job! Even though the fog machine didn't always want to cooperate. The audience was a great audience as well, they were very much into the show. AND IT WAS A FULL HOUSE!!! We sold out! And this morning, the VP of Academic Affairs sent an e-mail to all of the faculty telling them how wonderful the show was and encouraging them to come see it!

As of this moment, I am printing off 500 more programs. We are going to sell out tonight as well. :D

Did I mention that the Arkansas Democrat listed the HSU production of Urinetown as one of the top ten things to do in Arkansas this weekend! We were number six!!!

While I am posting articles, here is the one that was published in The Oracle.
Ignore the author and his many mistakes; he's an idiot.

Hell Week

It's Hell Week for Urinetown. That's the reason I haven't updated. I am UBER busy and totally stressed. Plus, I'm getting frustrated and may not be able to hold my tongue.

*SCREAMS*

Keep me in your prayers...

I need to survive.
