Getting into a groove

I don’t want to jinx myself, but I feel like I’ve gotten into a good groove with all of the stuff I’m working on. In addition to classes, which can get tedious at times, I’m also coordinating events for an LGBT group, and also doing some research.

I think it’s all the positive reinforcement I’m getting. I’m working with some great people who really make a point to thank me or express appreciation for what I’m doing. That makes a huge difference. And it even makes studying seem more worthwhile.

Also, classes are slowing down a little (the calm before the storm, I suppose) — so I’m even thinking about taking a break this week to go see the on-campus musical. Y’all should know I have a chronic infection of the musical theater bug.

Last year it was “Sunday in the Park with George,” which was AMAZING. We have one of the top drama departments in the country, and it shows. This year, “Anything Goes”! I already know the title song (”Times have changed, though we’ve often rewound the clock…”), so it would be a crime if I missed it.

I’m also dying to see “The Color Purple” at the Ahmanson.
