At 4:15 a.m., my body decided it no longer wanted to sleep. I growled, partly because the sun wasn’t even up yet but mostly because I didn’t go to sleep until 11:30 last night (which isn’t that late), leaving me with less than five hours of shut eye. A nap may have to be in order this afternoon if I am going to be productive past my PR class today.
On a positive note, I am going to see Rent when it comes to the Des Moines Civic Center on November 12! It’s quite possibly my all-time favorite musical, and two of the original Broadway cast members are actually in this production, so that should be awesome! The tickets are pretty much nosebleed, but that was about all that was left without paying three times as much for tickets. I am going with Erin, Caitlyn, Randi and my best friend from high school, Kerianne. She actually introduced me to Rent and its amazing soundtrack six or seven years ago. This should be exciting :)
Speaking of music, I was very sad to see that my new guilty pleasure show, Glee, did not have a new episode this week. It’s a show based on a glee club and reminds me an awful lot of a much smaller version of my middle school and high school show choir days. (There’s also a lot less glitter, eyeliner, sequins and Aquanet in this show, but that’s not of interest here.)
I no longer have cable TV (or any TV reception at all) due to poor customer service and faulty advertising by Mediacom, and so I am only able to watch my shows at least one day after they air online. When you’re already showered up at 4:40 a.m. and are aware that your show normally airs the night before, a little happiness helps your early morning thinking that you can watch the 22-odd minutes of video while eating a bagel and letting your hair dry. Such was not the case this morning, and I resulted to actually being productive by going through e-mails.
On the e-mail note, I had to e-mail the Institutional Review Board for the second time, since it’s been nearly three and a half weeks since I submitted my proposal. I received an e-mail that they were reviewing it and would send me a letter regarding the waiting process, but that was never received by neither my inbox nor my mailbox.
I would really like to see that coming along soon so that I can start my research, which will require a minimum of ten hours in interview rooms at Olin Hall and another ten hours to transcribe the interviews. I then have to evaluate the results and include them in my honors thesis presentation, due approximately two weeks before finals (basically the week after Thanksgiving).
