Rubiks Cube of Complexities

Summer Days...

Why must there be more snow? As far as I'm concerned, the snow quota was filled in December. Now, we just need the flowers to return and the temperatures to rise.
So, this post looks incredibly similar to the last. To spice things up, here's what's happening in Betsy's life (well, what I feel is appropriate to post in a public, readable format):
-I'm in "The Laramie Project," this year's USM student production. Rehearsals are going well, blocking and all that. I play Amanda Gronich, Alison Mears, and Newsperson #3.
-3/4 of my classes are enjoyable this semester. My microbiology teacher, however, does not teach. And that is infuriating.
-Cafeteria food is yucky. Shocker.
-I haven't written in either of my stories in quite awhile. This is something I should do this weekend.
-One of my classes has turned out to be a fluff version of the political half of Great Ideas, so my notes will definitely be helpful. We're reading Plato's "Republic." The fact that we studied that for a few weeks junior year should be sufficient for me to know pretty much all I need to know.
-My psych class is actually very interesting, and I'm loving it. Except that it's an 8:30 class. And now, every CP person who reads this will want me tarred and feathered. Well, that is an ungodly hour at which to study such a complex subject.
-My American Literature class is fun, but really only because of the people with whom I sit. We just read "Huck Finn." My little brother is about to read that in his freshman English class. In high school.
-Auditions for "Threepenny Opera" are next Friday, and I am so excited! I will be able to sing on a stage in a musical, dramatic production. Life is good.
-Messiah rehearsals have started again, and when I'm in town, I get to go. We're sad to be without Nicole and Seidel (hint hint). I'm actually getting some help with my half of the duet I sing with my mother, and that's cool. I've never really had voice instruction.
That's me right now, so... yeah. Oh, and I'm such a loser that I'm going to a high school dance. But I want to dance, so screw the label. I'm going to dance.
With that, I bid you farewell.

Oh, what a beautiful morning. Oh, what a gloomy day.

So, that snow really bummed me out. I think that any snow after Christmas is just gloomy. All it does is impede traffic. And make me cold. It's a shame, because this morning was actually pretty okay.
New semester. What to say? I have a bunch of easy classes again. That may be even more bummerish than the snow. I'll just play Sudoku to stretch my brain...
New year. I have a few things that I really just need to do, and I feel that they sort of fall into the category of "resolutions," simply because I'm finally resolving to do them. I just hope that I don't put them off until I forget my resolve and falter. That's what usually happens, excluding one or two occasions.
New room. I'm pretty pumped about this. We now have four beds in one room, and a futon in the other. So, we have a living room. It's like having our own flat, and I love it!
Bye, now.
