After last weekend and the wonderful, 83 degree weather... its been a week full of rain and just general nastiness outside. Hopefully it will warm up again soon, or at least have this awful cloud cover that's settled over Columbus go away!
I'm coming to the end of week five for Spring quarter, and I can honestly say I'm completely over this whole school thing, at least right now. I love being up in Columbus, and spring quarter is always full of warm nights out and spending all day lounging in the Oval, but I am sort of bored with seeing the same thing out my window day in and day out (which, by the way, is a brown house or a white wall, depending on the direction!)
However, five more weeks isn't that many, and I'm just trying to have a happy ending to my junior year! I have another little this quarter, who is just as fun as my little last quarter! I sort of think I've lucked out, having two pretty swell littles in a row. Maybe I shouldn't push my luck and have another one next winter! Anyway, with Spring Initiation underway, we've been having all sort of outtings, such as this week when we went miniture golfing. I came to the conclusion I'm just bad at it all around, and probably shouldn't be allowed near a golf club!
I'm starting to get really pumped for the summer... as if I wasn't already! West Side Story should be quite exciting, despite the fact I'm not the biggest fan of that musical in general. My costume construction and designing has been put on hold, though, what with school and all. I'm a little bummed, because I don't think I'll have the things completed I wanted to before I go. Hopefully there will just be some time for me to sit and sew those first few weeks! I honestly cannot believe this year has gone so fast and its only 50 days away! I was trying to remember last year, and what my feelings were at this time concerning my summer. I honestly can't remember, but I do know I had no idea what I was in for! And, in some ways, I don't really know what I'm in for this summer. I'll be going back as a second year counselor, and I'll actually know the camp, some of the other counselors, and the campers once they get there. It will be a completely different way to see camp, since it won't be all new like last summer.
On the other hand, things I do know are that I cannot wait to see some of the other returning counselors, considering most of them live in completely different continents! I was actually chatting with Alex, who is a camp friend from Australia, last night and we were discussing what our relationships would be with one another after camp were it not for things like Skype and Facebook. Imagine trying to keep in contact with people all the way in Australia without those things! Its hard enough to get a chance to chat, since I usually talk to my Australian friends late at night and its early morning for them. Letters would take forever and phonecalls would be nearly out of the question. I suppose that, as annoyingly addicting as facebook is, I appreciate it if only for the fact that I can keep in contact with my friends abroad. It would be so awful if I couldn't keep in contact so easily, as I'm sure our busy lives would overtake our desire to write one another. So, in conclusion... hooray for internet and easy forms of communication!
I've been working in the costume studio this quarter, and since I've been around there awhile now, I'm getting to either work on myself, or assist on some more difficult projects. Mostly its been a lot of alterations lately, but it is a good thing to see. I've got a basic idea of how to alter pants larger or smaller, which hopefully will come in handy a bit this summer. I know some of those poor kids were wearing GIANT pants in Fiddler! I also feel as though, the more I learn, the more I might actually be prepared to go to graduate school. Yes. I'm still thinking about grad. school, where I'll go, if I'll get assistantships, and everything else. In some ways, I almost want it to be next year so I can start my application process. I don't like waiting and thinking about things. I sort of want to know now but... that's not possible, so I will wait until next year.
I suppose that's enough of an update. I have a midterm in an hour, then I'm heading home. I suppose I'll pack now.
