BEDA Day 6 & 7 : Failure, busy days, and Gore Makeup

Yes, yes, I have already failed at BEDA, but in all seriousness, I was so busy yesterday, by the time I got home, I passed out on my bed immediately and fell asleep. I woke up this morning for class and was like "FUUUUUUUU I forgot to BEDA last night! /headdesk/" I was so exhausted last night. So, so exhausted.
I woke up at 6 a.m., left the house at 7:10 p.m. (late as usual), and got to math class about 5 minutes late (again, as usual). Professor decides to give us surprise math quiz and I then proceed to freak out and fail miserably. After math, I went to my acting class as usual, only to find out that it was cancelled. I was kind of pissed really, because my partner and I were actually both there, ready, and were even scheduled to go first. I swear, we're never going to get this scene up. I just want to present it and get it over with. So I had about two hours in between to wait until my 11 a.m. class. It was a sunny and beautiful day, so I sat outside on a bench and just read the whole time. When my class was over at noon, I went straight to the costume shop to help Sami and Caroline make more masks for Romeo and Juliet. I did that until 4 p.m., then had to go to my Wednesday, late, English class which lasts from 4:30 to 7:10. Add 40 minutes of commuting home and you get a very run-down Jordyn. I went upstairs, not thinking about anything, and just fell asleep. I don't even remember eating anything at all yesterday.
Today, I got to sleep in a bit because I don't have to be at class until 10:45 a.m., nor do I have to put makeup on or do my hair because it's my makeup class and we're supposed to have clean faces. The makeup we did today was awesome. If I wasn't such a lazy-ass, I would go get my camera and upload the pictures, but, meh, I'm tired and I have to type this quick if I want to make it on time. We did the special effects/gore makeup on another person, and had to create a backstory to why they ended up like that. The girl that was my partner, Laura, decided that we should intertwine our makeup with each other's, so we ended up making this story about us both being in Vegas (it's her 21st birthday today and she is going to Vegas tomorrow), being extremely drunk, getting angry at each other, and getting into this huge fight. We both had some gnarly black eyes and scrapes. Then, after everyone was done, we all had to walk around campus with the makeup on and see if we get reactions. It was pretty funny, especially when we walked through the populous places like the dining hall, Mom's ( a little restaurant type on campus), and the library. Many people had WTF looks. I'll post pictures in tomorrow's BEDA.
After class was over (1:30), I stayed in the costume shop to continue helping Sami and Caroline make masks until 5 p.m. We ended up finishing them, with the help of the rest of my makeup class. They all look really great and beautiful and I can't wait to see them on stage. I made three of them and I am super proud of the way they turned out. The one I made today has a make-shift jester hat on it. Yeah. I'm pretty awesome. I really hope the actor who is playing Mercutio uses that one, because it definitely suits Mercutio's personality. I will upload pictures tomorrow.
I swear I will permanently have feathers all over my clothes. So many feathers used.... so many...
I also came home today to glitter glue, spray paint, and feathers in my hair, and on my pants and hands.
Such is the life as a theatre designer.
All right, it is 11:55, which means if I don't post this, I have failed yet again, plus, I am tired and still need to shower.
Good night, DFTBA, and Happy BEDA-ing.
