Eager Anticipation

...for Spring Break. Just two weeks away! Lately class and personal responsibilities have seemed so unforgiving. So much that I took a personal day last week just to get some of my own needs taken care of. Taxes are now done and submitted (can't wait for that check to come in the mail!), bills paid, odds and ends tied up and a massage squeezed in to release some of that tension I carry in my shoulders and back.

As for the school stresses that have been piling up, well that will take a while to get out of the way. I have a stack of essays to grade. It measures 8" tall. No joke. I cry when I think about the hours it will take. Why do I procrastinate? I don't! I have to make sure my daily plans are set first and those take up enough time already. Oh when will this dreadful first year stress be over with??

On the other hand, some things I've taken enjoyment of some things lately...

1. Puppy sitting for my mom and dad so I get to keep company with this lovely lady every day.


2. I've been helping with the school musical, Beauty & the Beast, and I have been using my skills learned from CYT in character makeup. Last night was a blast because I finally perfected the Beast, Gaston and Le Fou (who looks hilarious). Still have work to do on Cogsworth, Lumiere and Maurice looking older. Come dress rehearsals next week I'll share finished photos!

3. Finally broke down and bought the Adele 21 CD. It is as amazing as I thought it would be.
(Some students also said that I look like Adele. Hmmm... I'm flattered, though I don't think I look like her at all. But I do love her style. Maybe I should copy her some? Especially the eyes!)


She definitely is a plus size icon, thought she has slimmed down quite a bit in this last year.
