I am so sore! I went to rehearsal Thursday night. I am a soldier in the play "Titus Andronicus". I thought it would be easy - walk on stage, stand a little bit, walk off. UM no. We have heavy swords we have to carry and all these movements/salutes we have to do. Yikes! The swords are like 10 - 15 pounds. My right arm hurts and my rectus femoris muscles (we have to kneel in one of the salutes). There are three other females in the army and we were joking that we are going to have some big right arms when all this is done. We are going to look crazy - out of proportion. A Popeye arm on the right and a little left arm. 
I will have to start working out. It is fun though. The director keeps saying we are going to look badass. hahaha. I know we are going to get chain mail. Awesome!

Today I am trying to figure out what the hell Jean Baudrillard means when he is talking about Simulation. It is for the class that I hate. I am so annoyed with this crap. I guess I am not the deep thinker I thought I was. 
This shit is philosophical BS. I tried to take a philosophy class last winter semester, "Lies, Deception, and Bullshit", to get a better grip on why so many people lie and BS their way through life. I ended up dropping the class because we spent too long trying to define exactly what lies, deception and bullshit are. It made my brain hurt, plus I was bored. Plus there were a lot of people in the class that talked just to hear the sound of their own voice - that is my definition of bullshit. Haha, well one of them anyway. So this class, "Reading Pop Culture" is reminding me of that. UGH! Not what I signed up for. This Baudrillard guy is trying to say that nothing is real, we are all just simulations and our world is a simulation. OK, certainly some of our lives are simulated - maybe quite a bit but sickness (most of the time) and death are real aren't they? If you get hit by a bus - that's real isn't it? And he is talking about signs. Aah geez, I don't even want to get into that. I am frustrated, needless to say. This class is going to Flub (you know I meant another F word) me up. I wanted all 4.O this semester. Dammit. Not with this class.

Did I stress how hard Dr. McCain's tests are? I feel drained of everything after I take her tests. I hope my study buddy did well.
