you! me! dancing!

the title of this post is brought to you by los campesinos! they love their exclamation points.

working the bonnie williams dance extravaganza. been here since noon. it's still going on, though i hope it ends in the next hour or so. nothing like a ten/eleven hour day. but it gave me time to get through some journal, though only half. unlike many groups, this one needed much more personal attention. had to fix the traveler, put in the gobo, and my personal favorite, wire up their chandeliers. have to say, was much easier this year. still, more time than i would like to spend. i know, i shouldn't complain, it's such a cushy job.

the end is in sight. two exam days. one teacher work day. and then summer in all of its glory is upon me. looking forward to not waking up before the sun rises, though i'll still be up early for prayers. at least this summer i'll get to go - no summer courses at miami this time. oh how sweet. though i might see if i can carve an hour or two out of each day to do some writing. and i'm going to try and not drive if i don't have to - will walk or ride everywhere, which will mean a little more planning on my part. but with gas at or above $4 a gallon, i think it will be worth it. started a little this week - met colin at quatman's and walked there. about 4 miles round trip. not too bad. and if i actually get around to buying groceries, i won't get sick of eating at the restaurants in norwood.

and believe it or not i have plans! plans for the summer! alexa emailed me this week and invited me to come out to colorado, which made two invites in less than a week - a sure sign i should go. so i jumped online, did a quick search for cheap plane tickets, found some that were within my budget and voilà, i'm off to colorado for 13 days. be good to be back in the mountains again, and to see alexa and ryan and shannon and paul. now i just have to figure out what i'm going to do while i'm there. don't want to mooch off my friends too much while i'm there. should have time to make plans before july. nice to know i won't spend the entire summer locked in my house....

sounds like the dance extravaganza is ending. probably need to head down and start dismantling everything i set up. i don't think it will take long. at least i hope not. will have to blog a bit more tomorrow, either before or after graduation, which is tomorrow. could be an emotional day. i'll have to let you know.
