Wednesday, March 24, 2004 -- 9:59 pm
Music in CD Player: none (Winamp stuff -- "The Reason" by Hoobastank -- their only good song...ever)
Mood: mellow

Well, for once I don't have anything better to do but write another slice. No wonder this is the first one of the month -- it might as well be the last too. The play has taken over my life, as you probably already know. Opening night's tomorrow. I won't be performing, since it's the other cast. Today was the elementary school performance, in which I did perform. It kind of peeves me that I got the elementary performance and then just one of the regular nights. Hopefully, however, it'll be the night that receives the most of a turnout: Friday. Too bad Brant won't be there to see my last show. He said that Mark was gonna drive him over from college, but only for the Saturday show.

Woody'll be there, though. Maybe even Joel. I'm glad we've reconciled our differences and can still be friends. I wish I could see those guys more often...especially Chris. This Friday will be the first time I'll have seen him in a long time. I didn't see him last weekend, so it's been about a week and a half. I miss him so much. I wish I had more time with him. His grandma died this past week, which kind of screwed up last weekend's plans. Still...what is there to be done? I'd be selfish if I said it bothered me, but I can't say that...I just want to be there to comfort him. I was really depressed the other day; I can't remember which. Saturday, maybe. I miss him. He hasn't called or anything. He hasn't been in school all week -- I know that because his dad hasn't, either. It must have been a big loss for them; I sent a sympathy card. I should call -- I really should, but I don't know what to say. I'm always afraid of those moments where there's just nothing to say. It's much better when I see him, when I can hear his voice right next to me -- OK.

I got a new capo. Dad found it at school -- apparantly it's been hanging around his office for awhile so he just brought it home for me. Yay.

Wish me luck in the play on Friday. It's going to be a busy rest of the week. I like to call it, "hell week." Saturday is the last night of the show, along with the cast party, which will most likely last until the wee hours of the morning. I miss Chris. Sunday is strike, where we take the stage down for 4 hours or so. That is going to be the most boring day of my life. In between I have homework and college to worry about. We're doing Shakespeare in AP English -- ick. I never was a big fan of his. Involved are lots of projects and what-not -- double ick. There's barely time for anything anymore. As for college -- SU sent me a financial aid package, and things aren't looking too bright...they're only offering me about $20,000, and tuition is around $39,000. All I can hope for now is a miracle or else it's Utica College for me. Why the hell does college have to be so expensive, especially those few colleges that do offer newspaper journalism as a major (Utica, by the way, is not one of those colleges...) Maybe Northeastern'll come through with a great package...if not, I'm afraid I'm washed up.

On top of that is a new job I got last Sunday. It was much faster in the getting than Donna's. After Foo Chow kind of let me go (they haven't called me since they told me they got a chinese girl to work), I figured it was time to search for a new job. I tried at Donna's, but they never got back to me, even though I called a million times. So I got an application to Baby Boomer's, who were also hiring. I turned in the application and got an interview the very next day. At the interview, I got the job on the spot. I go for training on the 30th. I can't wait -- finally a real source of income! I'll be waitressing -- I even get to serve alcohol and learn drink mixing and stuff. Should be awesome. I figured it out that I could be making about $150 a week -- excellent. I'm gonna save about half of it for college, probably. College...I really need a miracle.
