Costume ideas

We’re trying to come up with a theme to dress up as for ASA senior send-off. Amanda, Lori, and I proposed being ballerinas because it would be fairly easy and pretty fun buy its beginning to sound like nobody but us thought it would be fun. There are emails going around suggesting a sports/athlete theme which would mean that we could still be ballerinas yet everyone else is a sport with a ball? How is that going to be cohesive? I appreciate Susan trying to be a mediator and make everyone happy. (She’s that kind of a person and I love her for it.) but I think it would be better if everyone is a similar thing rather than extremes of a spectrum. True, ballerinas are technically athletes but not many people are going to make that connection, especially if there are two or three ballerinas and six or seven sports athletes. The immediate connotation of athlete in people’s minds is going to be some sort of sport like basketball or football, not dance. I’m ready to be told what to wear, unless I’m asked to wear a jersey. In this case, I’ll do the ballerina and be different and everyone else can be damned. I’m not going to wear a sports jersey to my senior send-off, especially since I don’t watch them, I don’t play them, and I certainly don’t care anything about them at all. Why would I wear something that I’m not enthusiastically a part of? At the same time, I see why they object to being ballerinas, since many of the other seniors do not have a dance background. There has to be a middle ground, something we can do that isn’t going to be distasteful to anyone participating. What it could be, I’ve no idea. Personally, I prefer pretty things and sports/athletes just don’t cut it for me.

I’ve got my chemistry test tonight and I’m not freaking out about it like I probably should be. Instead I’m just blasé about it. I don’t really care. I think I was only stressing last time because it was also really close to having to get my senior show in order and I was freaking out about that too. Now I don’t really care anymore which could be a good thing, because it means I’ll be relaxed for the test but it could also be bad because it means I won’t be as prepared as I could be. Also, I think its crap that he’s teaching us stuff today that’s going to be on the test tonight, supposedly, except he did this last time, too and it wasn’t on the test at all, much to my irritation. I think I’m fairly prepared this time though. Much of the information is the same, incorporating the same equations with different uses. That makes my life easier, if not simpler.

Flunk day was not today. I’m kind of sad about this. It would have been perfect because if its tomorrow, its going to be too warm in the afternoon, what with everybody drinking and stuff. If its Friday (which I hope its not) then it will be even warmer. If its not tomorrow then I’m rooting for next week. While they say that flunk day can be any day, I think they try to avoid Friday because then people will be more likely to go the hospital for alcohol poisoning, having spent all day Friday, all day Saturday and part of Sunday drinking. Probably the celebration will only end on Monday morning when most students don’t show up for class. I wonder when Beth will have her flunk day. Coe and Knox are the only two colleges that have flunk day but they are on a trimester system and go much longer into the summer, as a result. She’s not graduation until a month after I graduate.

I’m locked out of my apartment. I forgot my keys when I left for choir at noon and Amanda and Ashley both have class at 1, so they’re usually gone when I get back and they locked my keys in the apartment. Its not their fault, since I’m the dingbat who left them there. I could try to blame Dr. Falk for keeping us late in choir because, had I got out in time, I might have run into Amanda going to class and she could have let me in but I didn’t, so now I’m stuck outside the apartment, waiting for color class to start. Its not too bad and fortunately, I don’t need anything for color class but its irritating, nonetheless.
