Nothing much happening.

Okay, not quite, but nothing truly interesting has been going on in my life. Just variations on normal things. Like today I had rehearsal for the play I'm directing (Plays in May). I don't really feel like a director. I just feel like a stage manager who's just helping the actors while the real director stepped out for a sec. I just have to have faith in the actors I have. They certainly know how to act better than I know how to direct, so I'm giving them a pretty free reign.
What else is happening? Oh, I have a cultural anthropology midterm tomorrow, so I should probably start cramming soon (I know most of the stuff, I just need refresh my memory). I got my linguistics midterm back yesterday. Almost a third of the class failed it, and I was proud to get my solid B. Three people got A's, and two of them knew English as a second language... It makes sense, actually. When you learn a second language, you have to learn all the fundamentals of the grammar and all that lovely stuff. I never became very solid on the whole concept of structure trees, or adverbs/adjectives/etc., or all of that. I think I "learned" that in middle school, and I wasn't exactly paying attention. Oh, well, I guess this is the proper class to take if I don't understand the principles of grammar.
Dangit. Give me math any day of the week, and I can generally figure it out. But this? It makes me feel stupid.
Oh, and I have a quiz tomorrow on the book Two Years Before the Mast, by Richard Henry Dana, Jr. It's a really good book, I enjoyed it. If you haven't read it, you should. It's the true story of how Dana (the author) took time off school at Harvard and became a sailor on a ship that sailed around the Cape all the way to California, at the time when Mexico owned CA. I believe it's considered America's first "classic."
Well, time for me to cram.
