I'm tired.

Very tired, as a matter of fact.

I work tonight.. 5:30 till 10:00. Shouldn't be too bad of a shift, save for quarter after nine on. It gets pretty dead and empty after nine. But that's alright, because I'll probably bring a book to read if they'll let me. I bought three books yesterday: "Paradise Lost" by John Milton; "Animal Farm" by George Orwell (I've read it before and I love it); and "1984" by George Orwell (I haven't been able to put it down!). It is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

I finished my paper for English 101.. thank God. So now I have my plate clear of projects except for my Renaissance Project due for British Literature. Here's what I'm picking to do, because it sounds fun and challenging.

"Be Dramatic. Design a contemporary production of "Macbeth" set in an anachronistic time period (current times, American West, World War II, Gangland, etc.). This will include: a short (one-page) proposal describing your reasoning behind your choice of time period and how it will both affect the play and hot it will reflect Shakespeare's themes, and a short description of the set and costumes involved and how the choice of time period will enhance audience interest in the play; a thumbnail sketch of the proposed set with notes on how it will reflect the settings of the play; costume sketches of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Macduff, and Old Siward; and a production poster for the production."

I have a feeling that not many people will do it, because it's a lot of work. The rest of them are analyzing or writing a sonnet. Neither of those choices sound appealing to me. So I'm going to get a head start thanks to my superb non-procrastinating skills and a little help from No Fear Shakespeare. (:

Matt and I are better. I think a week apart to let me focus on school helped me bunches. I really enjoyed my time with him yesterday.. it was just fun. No pressure to make out or just sit and talk or whatever. It was just.. me and him at the video store.. me and him at his house watching Forrest Gump. And then Megan, Arik, Ben, Patrick, and Jordan making my life ten times more amazing. Jenna and.. who else?.. someone else.. showed up at Matt's a little later. But I love being around the boys. When those three are together, with Matt, they are freakin' hilarious! And I love being in on the joke-telling. It makes me feel like less of a loser than I actually am. (: haha.. jokes about Ben being Asian, and Patrick and his Jewish-ism (and alcoholic-ism), and Jordan and myself being the not-drivers at the party, and how I'm anorexic, and how Matt was using all of his birthday money for a Wii and skipping out on Disney.. it was fun. I love those kids.

What else.. umm.. I turned in my Fine Arts paperwork, finally. I think I'm going to do three categories: puppets, human video, and instrumental ensemble with Chris, Staci, and some other people. That should be a bucket of fun.

I'm excited for FSU. End of story.

I really don't have much else to say, in all honesty. I really love my boyfriend. I want to marry him. Even though I have these crazy thoughts of us not being together and wanting to break up.. I love him dearly, and I always will (I hope). (:
