last friday
...was amazing. Billy Joel and Elton John were fantastic, playing for 3 hours and 15 minutes. They played everything one would expect, and demand. The setlist is here. "Miami 2017" and "Angry Young Men" are incredible songs that my ears didn't hear until that night. "Piano Man" was awesome, started in a duet, and then pianos dropping out at the end for the audience to do the last verse. Elton did a really nice version of "This Train Don't Stop Here Anymore," from "Songs from the West Coast."
There were no disappointments from the evening. Pat and Karen enjoyed it a bunch too. Just an incredible concert.
rest of the week
Pretty standard really. This seemed to be the first crunch week of the semester, requiring paper writing on every night. I dreaded starting my autobiography for Kling's class, but it really worked out well. I didn't expect to get the required 4 pages, but had close to 8 by the end, and had to set the margins at .8. I had an analytical paper due for him too on the same day; intellectual self-esteem issues kept me from getting it out until 2am the night before, and finally finishing the next morning.
"Footloose"...
where to begin...
the majority of rehearsals were cancelled this week. Little bits and pieces got done, no major choreography, but blocking for smaller scenes. It still looks good, but I'm worried about the cancellations, although there was nothing we could have done to prevent them.
My job has begun to annoy me. My job grew out of my work during Day One in Health Services; I was hired by Dr. Cicala and the Division of Student Affairs to do "computer work" for them. I had to finish supporting the meningitis database app (the major development I did this summer) and then create a bunch of other ones. For the most part I've been stuck in Health Services doing data entry and other small tasks. I had to revisit an application I'm writing for the counseling center today, and I got myself stuck against a brick wall. I've gotten myself out of similar situations before, but this one is extremely perplexing. Still, its better than sitting up in health services pulling charts and stuff.
Theres not a heck of a lot else from this week; community development advisory board meeting, random other classes, another 3 hours of Cronin.
priceless.
