Student Counting Days Until Nerd Graduation

Well, I've been pretty busy down here at nerd camp, and frankly am not feeling so very chipper at the moment. But I'll refrain from discussing my disappointment. Let's just say I've never been in a classroom with all business students before, and discussing philosophy and great literature with them has been less than invigorating. Still, the grounds are beautiful and the food is good.

Tomorrow we are performing "Antigone." I'm cast as Ismene, the cowardly (or, pragmatic) sister of the play's tragic heroine. I offered the director a few ideas that might be called "experimental" or even "totally brilliant!" but my suggestions were met with a blank stare. Sorry, business students. We can do just a traditional performance. I'll, um, just make wreaths for our heads and we can wear togas with khakis and polo shirts underneath.

I received an email from a woman who invited me to model my phone book dress in a fashion show at the National Recycling Congress that will be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center later this month. Actually, I'm interested, but I'd have to miss two classes to do it....and I hate to miss class--especially the first week of school. Maybe if I could find a model about my same size....(Emily? Would you be interested?) The woman sent me pictures of some of her stuff that will be worn at the event. It looks neat.
