"Namaste" That, Sucka!

I. Am. Tired. After working for much of the weekend (including yesterday afternoon and evening) on a packet of information about Oriental Theatre for my classes, I got about 4 hours of sleep before arriving at the school this morning by 6:25 so I could get the packets copied and organized. In addition, I dressed up in gold jewelry and a pashima, and greeted every student with their own (sparkly!) bindi and "Namaste." I lectured, I danced, I showed hilarious video clips... I was basically awesome. Then I had to explain to the administration that I was, in fact, dressed up to teach about Hindu/Indian Theatre. (Just wait till they see my outfit for Wednesday, Chinese Theatre!)

I have 1 1/2 days to become an expert on Chinese Theatre, then another day and a half to learn all there is to know about Japanese Theatre. I'm up to it.

WHO'S "CHECKED OUT" NOW, (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE)?!?




Still to come: an uplifting post about Mother's Day, a really great block of Sunday meetings, and NOT turning down the Mother's Day Favor because I am not a mother - since it was a mini box of Utah Truffles. Yum.

Also, it could be the beginning of the end... someone might be making plans that have nothing to do with me personally, but would mean I would have to get married and/or move to Europe just so I can stand being around myself. If you knew what I was talking about, you'd know what I mean. (Huh. Is there a bastardization of Oriental philosophy in there somewhere?)







* That is NOT a picture of me. It is a picture of how I FEEL.
** This is not a picture of the sparkly bindi I wore today, but I definitely wish it was!
