Uff da!
Well, I haven’t written in a little while. This last block has been a little bit (more) hectic (than usual). I was the sound designer for ‘The Odyssey’ which was put on by the Drama Department last weekend. A week before that was our tech weekend which had me in the theater for literally over 24 hours between that Saturday and Sunday. I think I averaged somewhere around 4 hours of sleep each night for a week – Wednesday of 3rd week to Tuesday of 4th week.
Thankfully however, I did (somehow) find time to finish all my work for my class before I got sick this past Wednesday. A big hint on how to survive on the block plan: don’t get sick. (Especially not a fever of 101.8). They say missing one day of class on the block plan is like missing a week of class on the semester plan. I’ll be honest in saying that missing one day of class each block is doable, when you get sick and start to miss three or more days in a row… it’s not a good thing. Some professors ask for the note from the doctor which makes me feel like I’m back in third grade sometimes. But I’ve known kids who drop classes because they’re sick. High stress levels really don’t help you get better by the time you want to.
So a major staple of every CC student’s diet: Emergen-C. I mean, 1667% of your daily vitamin C in one go? It works wonders.
Getting sick does make it that much better to get home. Laying on my couch with home baked cookies right now makes every stressful moment of this past semester worth it.
Over the next few days I’m going to finally work on getting my show up on youtube – I’ll post the link once I do. But for now, I’m going to hit the hay in preparation for all the holiday shopping I need to do tomorrow.
Have a wonderful holiday season, everyone!
