busy, busy, all the time and not a drop to sleep.

the past weeks have been filled to the brim with loads of stuff to do.
i did my first screen print in printmaking 2- it turned out... ok. not as grand as i had originally hoped, but it was my first, so i'm not complaining. can't wait til i can print tshirts.
finished my first piece for sculpture- it was a breakdancer. made completely out of found objects- like baby clothes, and a baby doll head, and metal pipes that i found on the floor in the shop. i had a good time with it, and made a 93 on it. good deal. i also started my second piece, which is a cedar log. i'm carving it and whatnot to make a piece of sculpture... there will be process pictures soon.
haven't had much in lines of rehearsal because one of the trio has been involved in another play, but it's finally over, so we're really packin' 'em in this week. sunday-thursday, 7-11pm. today is our first choreography rehearsal- so that should be tons-o-fun.
the game last night was extremely intense. we thought we almost lost on of our players- he was hit in the head by someone's breast bone, was thrown back a few feet, couldn't get up, started to shake... it was very scary. he is one of mine and april's good friends. we were holding hands and ever tearing up when the trainer was trying to get him to respond. moments later, he was back in the game. he's such a go-getter. the game ended up going into over time- thank goodness. and we won on the buzzer by a shot by a 6-10 senior, jesse bynum. he was just inside the key, he shot with one second left, the buzzer went off and the ball went in the hoop. we rushed the court and joined our team. we hugged chris, and told him never to give us another heart attack... cause we didn't carry any asprin to the game.
today i'm taking a couple's engagement photos, as long as it doesn't rain. they are a sweet pair of kids... but they're still kids.
i love my job. working with beckie is fabulous. and she's right... my best skill is knowing exactly what to get when i go to sonic for happy hour. i even know what the others on the hall want. weaver wants a large diet coke, mclain wants a large diet cherry limeaide, and shock wants a large coke, and if kaitlyn is there, she just wants a sprite. i love my job.
