I hate life. More on the why later.

Laura comments on me not wanting to go to Ruby Tuesday’s.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Good day!

Well hello friends. I think this is a record—two days in a good mood. Have the God’s taken favor upon me finally? I’m just in a general good mood. Maybe because Spring Break is a couple of days away, or maybe because I’ll have my Associates Degree in two months, who knows. I think I do know why – but that’s my secret, not yours.

Thanks to Samantha I’ve found rediscovered a great love: EnVogue. Do you remember them? They are awesome! Gosh, this takes me wayyy back to when I first lived in Atlanta with my mother and I was around the age of 7 or so. It’s just feel good music, not that I want to go and slit my writs music. Lovely.

I probably have a quiz in African-American history today, I have a College Algebra test Wednesday, and I have a Social Problems test Thursday. You know what, I’m so not concerned. This is Miguel’s official non stress week. I know the stuff, I’ll be fine. Spring Break is looking mighty fine right now. Wonderful.

GOOD day!

Guess who’s not stressed out and actually feeling really good at the moment? That would be me. Yes, the extremely stressed out Miguel is actually feeling pretty good at the moment. Why? I can’t tell. It’s a secret that I get to revel in for a little while. Just know that I’m smiling a big happy grin at the moment.

In other news…this weekend was a mixed bag. I spent most of the weekend working on the program for the upcoming musical “Annie Get Your Gun.” I was in Pete’s office Friday inquiring about some photos and a flyer she was doing for me when I ran into Brooke (Brooke is the PR specialist at my school). She was in a tizzy because she didn’t know, or have the time to put the program for the musical together. Since I have gained a somewhat decent grasp of desktop publishing (1st place at GCPA for Layout and Design, baby!) over the past two years, I agreed to help her out. Now this isn’t your basic 4 page program, this is the kind where people buy ad’s and what not. So needless to say I spent all of Friday night and Saturday working on it. I hope people like it. Jake was there the whole time helping out. He even designed a few ads.

This week I have a test in Social Problems and a test in College Algebra. Heh, I hope this goes well. I’m a little nervous about the College Algebra test, but we shall see.

OH OH…how could I have forgotten to mention this—Mr. Christopher Rice, my favorite author, has finally released his third book-“Light before Day.” I’ve been reading the book this weekend—awesome! GOSH I love his writing style. It really makes you use your imagination and a dictionary. I’ve begun to write down the words I don’t recognize and define them. I’m just trying to add a few words to my limited vocabulary. Nothing wrong with that…

Well I’m off to read a couple of chapters before I hit my wonderful bed.

Good day!

Below you will find pictures from the 4 one acts we put on last week. Since I directed this go around, I was able to sit back and take pictures of everyone. Maybe I should direct some more, or not. But it was fun. I’ll get the pics up later from the actual show. These are just pictures from backstage.

I called Barnes & Noble today and told them to schedule me like the whole week I’ll be home for spring break. No rest for the weary—is that the saying?!

I’m working on a one act play for Theatre Appreciation. It’s due tomorrow, so I’ve got's to get cracking!

Good day!

Alicia and I looking like....I don't know. What do we look like? 

The bored director. 

Aren't they just wonderful?1 

Time for the show to begin ladies! 

No pictures please. 

Something tickled Lacey's pickle. 

Jake cometh forth to do thou part.  

Satan getting ready. 

The devil and the blond looking wonderful. 

Chrissy and I, with Perry in the background doing God knows what. 

The "trickster" sitting on the ground warming up, or something like that.  

Ashley taking a rest before the show. 

Gettin' ready to go on stage and do their thang - Whitney and Chrissy.

I think the whole world is anorexic.

So I’m sitting at the local coffee shop trying to be introspective and stuff. I figure I spend so much time by myself working on the newspaper or in my room watching CNN, I should probably get out and be around strangers at the coffee shop, but of course that’s not the case. As soon as I walked in, I saw that I was surrounded by friends, which I didn’t mind. But there’s just that anonymity that I miss about Atlanta. I can get in my car when I'm in Atlanta, drive, and in about 30 minutes or so, be somewhere where I know I won’t see anyone I know. How nice. But then again, it is kind of comforting to go to a place where they know your name. So that was like a total random paragraph.

Tonight was the last performance of the show—I think it was the best. A lot had to do with the audience. The theatre was packed with people, and they actually got the jokes in the play. I was happy for all the actors in the play. I liked directing, but I don’t think I would do it often. There is so much to be done. Luckily my cast didn’t need much direction from me, and Jake and Alicia pretty much did the set, not much was required of me.

Ya know, I’m really ready for the school year to be over. I have this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. It happens when big change is about to come to my life, and it is. In 6 months, I will be in a whole new environment, with new people, new classes, new Professors, basically, I’ll be at the bottom again. That doesn’t scare me though; it’s actually a comforting thought for me. In my mind, it’s a reminder that life goes on, life never stops. No matter how hard you fight, how hard you want to change; life will forever go on, with or without you. I love that thought. Today is another, a clean slate in a sense. Going along with this thought, I have this feeling that when I “grow up,” I’m going to be a loner. I always have this overwhelming feeling to just be alone and let my mind wonder. I think I really am random. All these thoughts pop into my mind as I’m thinking. You know what’s sad? I try to slightly control my randomness in my blog—if I were to actually write down everything that I thought in about a five minute time frame, it would be chaos written down. Scary.

Well this joint is about to shut down, I’m going back to my dorm to finish up my soapbox column for the newspaper and get some shut eye.

Good day!

Another week is coming to a close. This semester sure is going by quickly. This week was stressful, but not as stressful as last week—thank God. So how about I’m listening to “Wicked” right now. GOSH I love this musical. It’s like a freaking religious experience. I’ve had this CD for about a year now, and I still love it.

Hmm…what happened this week? Oh, I went to Weight Watchers Monday and found out I gained all my weight back that I had lost, plus some more. So now I’ve gone back on Weight Watchers with a mission. I have a goal, and I’m going reach it.

The one-act plays were this week. We still have one more performance tonight. I am so proud of Jake, Lee, Sam, and Alicia. They have done such a good job on the play. I had fun directing them. Yesterday, one of the lead actress in one of the plays got sick and couldn’t even get out of the bed, so instead of canceling that show, Dr. Seward actually got on stage and did the girls part. This wasn’t a small part people, and of course, in usual Dr. Seward fashion, she tore it up! She did a really good job. I was so happy and relived for her. I hope tonight’s performance’s go as well as the past two days.

This week the Student Affairs Committee met. We discussed nominees for Who’s Who and for Best All Around. Guess who was nominated for Best All Around? That would be me kids! I was so excited. Edgar, Lee, Sam, and Alana were also nominated. I’m happy it’s all people that I know that are nominated, but then it sucks because you don’t want to seem like you want to win when your friends are going up against you. We shall see.

The March edition of the newspaper should have been on the newsstands right now, but you know where it is? Still on the journalism computer. This edition has been really difficult to put together for some reason. But I am going to press Monday with the paper.

My mother called me this week and told me that I owe the Federal government $376.85, and I owe the state of Georgia $74—all due by April 15th. Fun. Apparently the radio station and the school haven’t been taking out enough taxes from my pay checks or something like that. Ugh.

This is probably the most boring post I have ever made, but I felt like writing, but I’m kind of in a blah mood, so this post is very blah.

Well I’m going to go and try to get to bed early tonight.

Good day!
