New Stuff.

There's only one word to describe me right now---tired. "Hair" is going pretty well--we have 8 rehearsals left til we open...YIKES. I think it's going to be pretty good though.

Changed my song for my voice final--tribute to Barbra, "Isn't This Better?" from the musical "Funny Lady"...if you know the show, you know why i chose this lol

Wrote 3, count em, 3 papers this past weekend. 1 more to go: Dinosaurs. Why did I save that for last again?

I have to find time to memorize my final scene in Acting2. Have to. And study for Dinosaurs.

Oh well, it's pretty and warm outside, and kp is going to be here for like an hour today--yaaaaay!

check out Kim Walker's "He Loves Us"--my friend melissa jonesy recently told me about it and it's wonderful...highly recommend it.

Some Thoughts.

this weekend was a blast. party at allen's on friday...chilling out on saturday, sunday = church with dean, rehearsal.

Rehearsals have been going pretty well--we open in about 3 weeks and I think it'll be pretty good, I cant believe it'll be May in 3 weeks.

I need to memorize a scene from "The Shape of Things" for Acting2...I really love the scene but cannot seem to motivate myself to memorize it. SO excited for Fall classes though!

-Musical Theatre Performance 1
-Vocal Tech with Lisa
-Jazz 2
-American Politics (it'll be election semester-YES.)
-Stagecraft & Lab
-Women's Lit 1

I definitly stressed myself out with getting my classes today. My mom hadn't paid off everything and I was scared to death that I wouldn't get in the Vocal Tech that I wanted...thank god I did.

In other news, last weekend I wrote a letter. Completely different from the one in October, but since God pretty much told me to write it, I did. I really was reluctant to at first but I kept thinking about it and realized that I was going to listen. So I wrote it. I'm thinking about sending it. We'll see. God brought me through it, so I'm definitly going to listen to what He's telling me to do now. Even the lowest people on this earth need to be shown a tad bit of mercy. Nuf' said.

I sing in Vocal MasterClass tommorow..."Infinite Joy" from "Elegies" by William Finn. Hopefully it goes well. Hopefully. :)

The weather is now cold and gross, COMPLETELY different from last week. Where's the beautiful spring weather?

Just Some Thoughts.

So...I smell like sunscreen. That's when you know that Spring/Summer is here, when I have the need to protect myself from the sun!

Brother Rick is back on campus making all christians look bad by telling everyone they're going to hell. great (*sarcasm*)

But it's warm and beautiful and rehearsals are great and I feel wonderful :)

Good Day.

I sit here on my bed...writing on my laptop! After 2 whole weeks of being without it, I write this and cant help but smile--FINALLY.

Today was beautiful...in more ways than just the great weather. Personal victories, my friend, personal victories. Weather was beautiful, no rehearsal, flip flops, borders, new book, good scene in Acting2, "brothers and sisters", teasing my little brother while he, my mom, and i had dinner.

...I have a new love--"The Shape of Things" by Neil Labute and "August: Osage County" by Tracy Letts (the latter I just began reading by I love it already).

Good day. :)

On a positive note--I get my laptop back tommorow! YAY!
I missed it dearly.

It's the most beautiful weather outside right now, seriously, I sat outside by the lake for an hour and read, it was wonderful :)

8. NOT STRESS OUT.

9. Drink lots of herbal tea to calm me down.

10. Read more non-theatre books.

11. Get new music from Itunes...including Ciara song that's current Jazz choreography, MAKE IT BETTER.

12. Figure out if job is going to work out for this summer...email John.

13. Work on posture. Seriously.

14. Work on regionalism. 'Figure'--nuf' said.

15. Buy flip flops for summer.

Some Thoughts.

Not to sound overtly religious or bible-beater, but instead of a blog today, I'm going to write out the prayer that is in my head right now:

God,
I dont understand why you let things happen, why people are allowed to go through things, or things You do. I dont get it, I dont understand it. The only thing I can cling to is that You see the bigger picture and You know our lives, before and after they began, and that Your ways are good. I may not be able to see it now, but I'll see it someday.
Amen.
