So today, I'm going to try and not be all cross even though I want to be. Because that's wrong and you guys don't deserve it. Not everything in my life is bad but sometimes it feels that way. And really in the scheme of things, today was a relatively good day. I just did a lot of useless sitting. And that's something that I really kind of hate. I mean I LIKE sitting, but I don't want to just sit. I want to do something. I want to be learning something or actively doing something of my choosing.
When I'm at school and have these longs breaks where I'm just sitting around, I'm more passive than at any point in my life. It's just not fun to sit around and do the cool things when you think everyone in the building could potentially run over and look over your shoulder. And that's just, that's really not something you ever want to have happen. It's not fun. So I spend most of my time refreshing Youtube or going on some of the safer sites. I still keep my twitter up in the background, but there are things that I just don't get to do at school which is not what I want to do. Then to top it off, today, my scene partner bailed. And this was honestly one of the most important days that she could have bailed on. And it just boggles my mind. I mean short of open heart surgery she really should have pushed it off until later and come because she's not only affecting her grade, but mine.
But thankfully Tim understood about the entire situation. He really is a lovely man and I cannot say enough good things about him. I can't wait for tomorrow when I get to see Cabaret as a patron of the arts. I've heard really good things about his rendition and so many of my friends are in the play and it's just so exciting. More exciting than anything you guys can possibly imagine if you aren't in the realm of the theatre. It isn't like a movie premiere, it's something quite more altogether, I think for everyone involved. So yeah, that's a thing in my life.
But other than that, I started a new book, that I'm about a quarter of the way done with. I need to read more over the summer, which actually shouldn't be a problem. I'm a fairly fast reader when I don't have school to interfere with things. So yes, I'm not technically behind yet, but I was very close to being if I didn't read a book this month and I have so that is very good. I need to find some new books...and convince my mom to let me buy some new books. Because yeah, I want more books. I want so many books and I just don't know where to start crossing books off the list. Seriously my main two expenditures in adult life: books and food. Who would buy anything else?
Maybe in a couple of days, for BEDA, I will do a book review. Who knows? I certainly don't. These things go day by day and now I think I'm going to write some more.

Beda: Day 11: The Freaking Fire Alarm.
So today was an interesting day. I didn't really have time to tell you guys about it earlier. Well, technically that's not actually true. I did have time. I was just using that time to start writing a work of fictional lit. Which is fine. That's what I do. You guys know I like doing that. Because you have seen "Enigma" because I posted it here. So you guys know about me being that kind of person. But no, that wasn't even what it was all about.
So I went to Stage Makeup and we did eighteenth century ladies which always becomes this garish almost clown like makeup because these women were crazy. And that was all good. The results of that are in the vlog today and so it should be really good. I think I'm going to unlist the clip of me taking all the makeup off. I think that would be interesting for people to see. I just don't know what's being discussed on the clip or what is possibly playing on my computer because it's quite possible that I'm playing music in the background.
But yeah, I took the makeup off and got all of my stuff ready and I'm watching my bestie braid another friend's hair when THE FREAKING FIRE ALARM GOES OFF. In the theatre building. Last time that happened, I had like a whole cast of actors taking care of me and freaking out. Because I'm epileptic and they love their stupid flashy lights for the fire alarm at school. And my teacher was like oh, it's not a big deal and then we had to explain the whole thing which needless to say freaked her out a little bit. But I got outside safely and without having any problems. The strangest part was that they didn't know it was going on. They had no clue what was going. What happened? Still not even sure.
So I was a little bit anxious, but we were allowed to go back into the building and so me and my bestie went to dance class and it went off again right as I set down my stuff. I headed out the doorway only for them to tell me it was a false alarm. Now, needless to say, I'm like always accompanied when there is a fire alarm going off in the building because I pretty much have to stare straight down at the ground or close my eyes and need someone to guide me. So this is a little insane. But I got out of dance class because I didn't need to be around that and it was only that building that was going off. Hopefully, they'll have fixed it by tomorrow.
But yeah, so I wrote for a long while. Because I had wanted to do that for a couple of days and I just had a couple of things that I needed to that got in the way. But today I got to write 1000 words. So that was fun. I really like getting into that zone where I can just type away. It's a nice feeling. And talking about that, I want to get back to it, so I'll see you soon.

Beda: Day 3: Compliments and Hard Work
With my latest blog post about how i've been horribly procrastinating on my assignment which is do tomorrow, I've become a little more confident in things. I've done some beautiful work in the past twenty four hours, typing reviews and printing articles like a boss.
Honestly, I think I needed someone to be responsible to. I know it seems weird, but since I posted that blog I've had that feeling of "someone will be disappointed in me if I don't do this." and so I've done it. I knew I needed to do it before and I even knew that the deadline was tomorrow, I just didn't do it. Not until I really set myself up to do it. Which meant telling the entire world about what I haven't done yet. And yes, I'm a little bit ashamed of myself for having to stoop to that level, but it gave me the encouragement I needed.
Now, I've got twenty-five articles done with just five more to go to review. Compared to the fact that none were done before this week, I put that in the plus column. I can do things that I don't like to do, I just have to work harder at them and have the inspiration to do them. Which is why I love the internet sooo much. I pretty much live here and you guys are my roommates ready to call me out on not doing my shit. Because you won't take it. People want to see the best for me. And that's what I get just from writing these little BEDA blogs on the internet.
On a more positive note of schoolworthy things, I got my critique back from my professor in acting for my shakespeare monologue. Let me first preface this whole paragraph with the fact that I've known this man for three semesters and he makes me want to be better. I've always taken what he says to heart. I like his feedback, I think it's insightful. Most of all, I just respect him so much. He gave me the best review he's given me. And anything else just vanished. All the crap I dealt with during the day, it just went out into the universe because he cared about my work and liked it. And he's a teacher that I know wouldn't just blow smoke at me because he thinks it would make me feel better. He really is committed to seeing all of his actors do their best work.
School is one of those things I find so enamouring. I find the idea that I can learn so many new skill sets just a wonder. I want to learn as much as I possibly can and it makes me feel like the absolute best to be in a class with people who care. So far, I've been very lucky in that I've met people and had classes that I really truly cared about. There was one class that was hard and I didn't really care about, but it was the exception to the rule. I find that I might be the only person I know who shares that opinion of school. There is so much to explore and learn out there, why wouldn't you want to have that knowledge? With so many things to do, why not try them all?
