Wow, I haven't posted in two days. In case you were curious, indeed, I am still alive. Stressed, but alive. The JETS notebook is due Saturday morning, which is slightly horrifying, but I get to spend the entirety of tomorrow at school on the notebook (we have a day off), so all is good. I'll have to upload some of the pages after we turn the notebook in -- I'm very proud of the design.

On one hand, I want us to win. Every fiber of my being longs for our success: I poured hours of blood and sweat into this binder, and I think its absolutely awesome. If we lose to Highland Park's glitter-and-construction-paper creation, I personally will cut off all my appendages with a chainsaw. On the other hand, the State Competition is the weekend of "Dark of the Moon", the Jesuit fall play, which is *not* double-cast. I'd have to miss State, which would absolutely stink. There's always the possibility that I could fly over after the Friday performance, then leave Saturday afternoon in time for our 5:00 call, but there would always be the chance of a flight getting cancelled or delayed, stranding me in Austin. Bad idea.

So alas, woe is me in general. Can't win 'em all. ::sighs and shugs::
