unit-y

it's 2-ish. i'm annoyed, excited, tired, worried, happy, smug, and slightly nauseated.

annoyed because my brother swore he'd help me string up the stupid butterfly projects but then he went to sleep. excited because even though it's 2 a.m. i'm generating really good ideas for the unit. a combo of good brain gym and bad caffeinated drinks. btw, the blue froth from fresh-poured MD pitch black is so cool-looking! i'm worried because i always think my LPs are the sh*t, but c. will probably hate them. her favorite thing to say is, "well, what's the FINAL PRODUCT?" for her, everything has to culminate in something pretty to take home to mommy and daddy. i think it's important to teach concepts by laying a rock-solid foundation, and those foundation days don't always guarantee something glossy and colorful to hang on the wall. i roll my eyes at her need for tangible evidence of consciousness, but that's her thing, and i'm in her classroom, repeat 10x and take a deep breath. i'm happy because i gave myself next friday off - even though i have a lot to do, i will be out of the classroom for a blessed extra day. rehearsals, rehearsals, rehearsals. but it's finally coming together. excitement! and no, that has nothing to do with ST so i'll shut up now. smug - i like this unit. but i better see if i can keep the chip off my shoulder for the next few days. soon maybe i'll progress to a whole week. smug also because although there will be no peace for the next four days, there are things she can't take away from me, like exchanging *looks* with the ST next door, tuesday seminars, and really good moments that include tuna sandwiches and watermelon. nauseated because i drank too much. i wanna go to bed.
