and the hilarity ensued

this morning when i woke up, i was so tired i left my room without brushing my hair. but i drank a mug of tea, and now i'm pretty much hyper, which is bad, but still.

so i went to class, and michelle is about as tired as the rest of us, so we spent the morning in groups deciding how to perform the various poems we read for today, and then performing them. some of them were kind of lame, just people reading them, but a couple of groups had fun with it.

we had "hymn to intellectual beauty" which you can read here. (i always want to call p. b. shelley p. b. jelly, hehe!) anyway, so christine read the poem, while lauren read lines of importance or with emphasis on them with her, and i did sort of this dramatic interperative performance. it was pretty silly, and there were a few stanzas were i just stood there, but there is one line that is "i shrieked, and clasped my hands in ecstasy!" and so i shrieked and clapped my hands. everyone laughed, which was kind of the point, so it was fun.

anyway, after us was don and kate with "when i have fears that i may cease to be" by keats. they were doing a sock puppet performance in the doorway (which was hilARious!) and rich came in and said something about not wanting to hear it in his class. i don't know. but we all laughed some more. i think that someone put something in our room that made us all giddy, because we were all like that today. then michelle said something about it being more effective than paxil. you know, that whole hour of my life just sort of blurs into one giant laughing session. i think it was what i needed, i feel better, and this evening i get to see christy, so it's all looking good.
