Schedule

I have found the most amazing way to trap myself. Time.

Currently, my dilemma is this; I have agreed to go to Llyodminster (5 hours driving distance from Calgary for those who don't know) from the 19th to the 22nd of February (Thursday to Sunday). I will be setting up and programming/designing for a small play called "Hockey Dad", one I've worked on before, and feel a sort of responsibility to. Plus, the building being used apparently only has moving lights, so I'm really the only one on the team who would know how to program them.

Other side of the coin.

Found out today that I have a band festival first thing in the morning on Sunday, February 22nd. My parents feel that I have a commitment to the band, and I highly doubt they would permit me missing something as big as a band festival (haven't asked, but not sure if I want t0).

So, something has to bend.

If I were to ask my dad to drive up Saturday, see the show, then drive me back, that is a horrible amount of driving. 10 hours? Ouch.
One way ticket on the greyhound? With student discount, comes to just under 100 bucks.
I've already been quite clear with Jamie, the director/actor in "Hockey Dad" that I would be available, and I really don't want to bail on him if I can manage it. Honestly, if I could, I would just tell Ms. Wishloff to deal without me, seeing as she already thinks I'm only good enough to play second horn anyways, and enjoy doing some tech, and being paid to do so. This tech is what's going to pay for me being able to go to Vancouver. Without it, I can't go, simple as that. I'm not willing to wait another few months, I'm going to go.

So really, I guess I have two choices.

1 - Screw band and take the mark deduction that'll go with it. It hurts, but hey, tech is my future, music isn't.

2 - Figure out some way to get from Lloydminster to Calgary by 8:30 Sunday morning.

Yeah, that's my predicament in terms of not having enough time.




Other than that, talk about a hectic semester. I had no idea I would miss having a spare so much, already I feel like there's more to do that I'll ever get done. I've got a massive headache right now from trying to learn social on my own (14.5 mintues she's been gone, and only 2 days? Gah), and I still have to study for a safety quiz in chem tomorrow.

L, I haven't really heard much about your condition, besides what you apparently have. I really hope you're doing alright, if it is imm. deff., then hopefully you'll be able to take visitors soon. Heck, you wouldn't be reading my blog anyways, so this won't mean much. Meh. Remind me to give you all my chem notes when you get back, I'll do my best to help walk you through what you've missed. Get better soon :)

You know, I don't even know if you read my blog or not. I have visitor tracking, and I've had a lot of visits from Vancouver, but I guess you've never said either way. I guess since you're reading this though, you do, so problem solved! I wish I could take the time to reply tonight, but with this headache and my chem still to do, I guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow. Maybe I'll take a bit of time to myself during rehearsal or something. ~45 days :)
Do you still find this at all surreal? That somehow we beat the odds and have made this work for who knows how long, and that in a few short weeks, we'll see each other again? It just makes me so happy to think about it, that I could be so lucky as to have met you...

Hope everyone is feeling well, and I look forward to talking to all of you very soon.
