Love

Thank you Mey for the card! It completely made my day :)

I love you!

Updates from the past two weeks

Okay. Updates!

1. Dalloway came and went. It was beautiful and I couldn't have imagined it going any better. Although I'm sad that it's over, I also welcome a new challenge. I'm one of those weird people who needs challenges to an extent.

2. Dance show tech starts tomorrow! I finished my cues over break and I am super excited to start tomorrow. Nervous yes. Very nervous. I've never designed lights for anything before. Nevertheless, it's going to be awesome. And I love my crew. Danielle, Galindo, Liam, Molly, and David-can't wait.

3. Thanksgiving was so much fun. A much needed break combined with wonderful family times equals a truly amazing 5 days. My cousins were super cute. And Eli knows my name! AND let me near him. This is improvement. I love this. Can't wait for Christmas.

4. Finals might kill me but hey, I had it easy last year so this is making up for the easy stuff. Let's just say I'm really going to earn my Christmas break.

5. I'm completely in Christmas mode and I LOVE it. The second family was gone on Thanksgiving I pulled out the Christmas CDs and forced my cousins to listen to my favorite song about 5 times before I realized that was overkill. We started decorating before I left and the house will be all ready minus the tree by the time I come home. The tree is my thing :)

I will be better about updating this thing... :)

Perfect

Finishing my night in bed watching How I Met Your Mother while reading mlia

My room is clean. I am cozy. I have research for my paper and an outline. No rehearsal until Thursday. Saw parents, Tanner, Jim, and Nancy last night and it was amazing.

Life is good.

:)

Congrats!

Congratulations to Mey for her Kennedy Center internship! This is awesome, I'm proud of you Mey!

Am I really still up?

-Oh the joys of homework. I will punch the next person who claims being a theater major is easy.

-Two days till opening! We are totally ready for this.

-Still figuring out my life. This is not so fun. However my friends are really helping me get through it. I love them. A lot.

-Note to actors: DO NOT GIVE DANIELLE RELAXATION PILLS BEFORE A RUN! Danielle has been stressed recently and one actor decided it would be a good idea to give her a pill that would relax her. Well....it worked. A little too well. She was almost completely out of it until we actually started the run but she got through it.

-Can't wait to see people this week and next at the show.

-I'm working all day on my day off this Sunday...but at least I get paid! Work 8:15-12:15 then babysitting 2:00-5:00. It's not a lot but it's something!

-Anyone with loan/scholarship advice, please let me know! I would greatly appreciate any help I can get right now

Okay. That's about it right now. Love to you all.

And on we go

Rehearsal had some high tensions but in general it went well.

I need to start facing reality or learning how to deal with it because this whole facing it every 3 months or so is not working out. It really hits you in the face when you do deal with it.

Parents here on Saturday with Tanner. Can't wait :)

Overview

It's been a very successful day/night

1. Tech weekend is over and successful. Issues with costume stuff but that's natural--it's only the first day with costumes!

2. My director paid me the highest compliment today. She told me that I call cues better than some professionals she worked with and hearing that from her was extremely rewarding.

3. I have a lighting design concept/cues ready for Marissa's group piece and solo

4. I picked the play and scene that I for my shakespeare research project

5. I developed a schedule for next semester that will neither kill me nor let me get away with too much

6. I officially declared my major!

7. We open on Thursday. I am beyond thrilled.

I love life.
