Rain, rain, go away.

I've thus far finished 5/7 finals, and am feeling quite whelmed.
I still have my public affairs final today and I need to finish my paper for African American Theatre for tomorrow.
The paper isn't going to be difficult to finish- I've already got 3/4 pages. I really just need to work on the bibliography and write one more page comining all the research.
I may come back to campus later today to try and sell my books back, but I may just wait until tomorrow instead- I've been on campus since 8 a.m. this morning for my dumb Intro to Philosophy final (which I Aced, thank you very much). Needless to say I'm a little tired and probably in need of a shower.
Since I said no to the LA internship, I've been stressing out a little to figure out what I'm going to do for work this summer. I think I would take a job here in Kalamazoo, even if it required paying rent for a few months, if I could get in a show. That's how much I want to get back into acting.
I'm still enthusiastic about going to France- but I'm also distracted by the practicalities of living there. I know I should just be excited and relax and everything will fall into place- but I'm just so used to planning everything that I feel like I'm lagging behind on my paperwork even though I can't get my visa until I get my arrêté. That will tell me how long my contract will be, what grade level I'll be teaching in, and what city I'll be staying in so I can buy my plane ticket and find housing.
I wish I had a camcorder that I could take for the year. Maybe I could ask to borrow my mom's. I know she has a few, but I don't know if she'd be willing to surrender one of them to me. Lord knows I don't have the money to buy one myself. At least I have a digital camera...
I did a quick Google search of theatres in Bordeaux, and to my surprise found one that teaches French students English via theatre classes! What a cool idea! I e-mailed the Brit that runs the gig and told him I'd be coming to Bordeaux for the year, so maybe (if i'm close enough) I could check the place out. Since i'll only be working 12 hours a week (or so they say), I'm going to get involved in some shows while I'm there.
I am ready to graduate.
