Gouda's Cheesewheel

General stuff, just to keep my blog updated

The sickness is getting better, though I'm still baffled by the amount of mucus my body is capable of producing.

Classes are going well. Arabic is becoming more interesting now that I have the book. The Arabic teacher looks like my dad, which I find a bit humorous. He's from Lebanon, though. Sound design class today was a review of things I learned in Sound and Music physics class several semesters ago. Those were my only two classes for the day; now I am working till 4. Misha wanted me to ditch and go swimming, but I don't think I'm well enough and anyway I don't have my suit here.

Tomorrow I have playwriting class, for which I must write "an important story." Considering how open-ended the instructions are, I haven't really gotten down to business on that yet. For Development of American Theatre or whatever the offical name of Dev 4 is, I have to read some chapters out of a packet, which I'm not particularly thrilled about. Thus, my two options right now are to sit and be bored at the desk or read boring theatre stuff or write a story that I don't know what to say in.

Last night I amused myself at work by researching a band called Outlandish. I was drawn to them because I saw one of their music videos while I was in Morocco. As it turns out they're Danish, with each member of the band claiming a different heritage, which is kind of cool. If anyone is familiar with the Aicha video, they were apparently the ones who did that song, which was a cover of a French version by Cheb Khaled, who I also heard a lot of in Morocco. It all comes full circle, muah.
