D.C. Snow
It snowed today! For the first time in two years I got to see snow, which I so dearly love to see and be in. I was visiting a friend who'd come into town for the day, Elizabeth Oliver, when it started coming down. Just as I was showing her the White House, too. It was such a beautiful sight: The White House with the Washington Monument in the background, snow lightly falling from the slate grey sky. I love the energy in the air, the briskness about it when it snows.
I've been a bit ill recently, my sinuses of course. So I had to call in to work today. There was no way I could have dealt with the public for nine hours with the way I was feeling. I hate to take off though, I feel like I'm deserting them. But I'll work on Tuesday, which I previously had off, and hopefully make up for it. And hopefully by then I'll feel much better. I do feel somewhat better tonight, so maybe it's run its course, or getting near there. We'll see.
School begins again on Wedesday, so this week will be filled with book and supply buying, getting ready for the ensuing semester. I'm anticipating getting back to it all, I do admit, however I dread the regularity of it all. I don't like things to be set and repeat, I like to mix things up and experience new things. So the "setness" of a school schedule and job goes against what I like. But being a theatre major does releive this to some extent, always working on some new project or other, auditions to attend, performances to see, etc. So that will be nice. And in my resolution to assert myself more in theatre I look forward to auditions and acting classes this semester. Hopefully I'll be cast in a mainstage for next semester. There are rumors flying about a Brecht musical being staged. If so, I want to be a part of it. But who knows? This uncertainty is frustratin yet exciting at the same time.
It's evening now and the snow has somewhat calmed from earlier. I'm going to the Galleries downtown with my friend Lauren tomorrow. Hopefully I'll feel better. So tonight I'll drink my Robitussin and orange juice and get lots of rest. I'm currently reading The Poor of New York and I'll hopefully finish it tonight. Interesting bit about the burgoise of 1800's NYC.
