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.
