Excited yet sad...

So, this school year is very close to being over. The number of musical rehearsals are winding down and the realization that high school theatre is over, is now settling in. It's hard to think that the safety net that I have in the CPA and with my friends will soon be yanked out from under me. Now of course, next year I will have Charlie which is wonderful! But, I'm just really going to miss the laid-back feeling of our theatre department.

As crazy as it may seem, I'm going to miss what we are doing right now: cramming for a show. Right now we have six rehearsals until the show goes up and we are missing dances to three of the songs and blocking for one of the scenes. The vocals are pretty good (of course there are rough places), but the lines aren't all there. We still had people with script in hand yesterday! The set doesn't really exist and therefore there is nothing to set lighting for, so we have no lighting. And as crazy as this all sounds, I think I'm going to miss it.

I'm not going to miss economy class or having to use web cams to see Charlie though! I'm excited to be in a new environment where people (for the most part) have strong Christian morals. I'm very fortunate to already have some friends there and to already know my wonderful roommate! I guess in a way I'm ready for change. I'm ready to be in the same state as Charlie for more than four days at a time! I'm ready to break away from this worldly, material thinking and instead focus solely on Jesus Christ.

I'm going to try to savor these last few days here and not take any of them for granted.

Frustration!

A lot of things frustrated me today:

1.) My boyfriend lives far away (905 miles actually). Of course this frustrates me every day.
2.) My economy teacher cannot teach...at all. He is very confusing and I sometimes feel like his homework has no point. Like today I had to make a "Help Wanted" sign for the BLS...why?!
3.) Musical rehearsals are fun, but not really when you sit there for three hours thinking that you are needed and then realize that actually you probably didn't have to come at all (although it can be fun watching all the other dances go on!) :D
4.) Our murder mystery show goes up on Friday. It was supposed to go up in March but we had a blizzard so it got pushed back. I used to have all my lines down, but for some reason I'm struggling now! That's very frustrating.
5.) I have an inflammatory auto immune disease that is in my tongue (it swells in certain places and is extremely painful) and I've gone to the doctor and he didn't really know what to do for me, but said that I should wait and if it happens three more times I'm supposed to call him and he will schedule me for emergency surgery (i hate surgeries). Well, since that visit my tongue has freaked out once, but today it happened again! One more time to go!

Other than that though my day has gone okay! Sorry about the ranting above but I had to get that out! My grandpa is here right now! He and my day are re-doing the deck for my graduation party!!!! So my dad's in a good mood because he loves this stuff. My dad works soo hard, it's good to see him happy! :D And I'm excited b/c Charlie comes for prom in 29 days! We're in the 20s! Whoohoo!

Well, I think I'm going to go and finish my stupid "Help Wanted" ad now...until next time...

Time for college!

So I thought since I'm about to leave for college that I would start a blog so that people could keep up with what is going on in my life without needing to be on Facebook! I thought a blog would be a good idea...we'll see what happens!

Basically, right now I'm getting ready for the end of the year! I've already picked up my cap and gown and my National Honors Society hours are in...I'm ready to graduate! Of course I don' t have much time to think about that quite yet! These next couple of weeks are going to be the busiest weeks that I've had in a long time! This weekend is our murder mystery show, two weeks after that is our musical (I have the lead!), and then prom is after that! I'm so excited because Charlie's coming for it! :D So yeah...I'm extremly busy! Looks like I won't get a serious nap in a while!
