thirdseason3

I hope I don't wake up one day and realize that I don't have any friends.

Well, I'm sorry to you guys that we didn't get to hang out more :'(
I moved into my new apartment today. It's pretty awesome so I don't predict many problems
I'm wiped out from packing/unpacking...looong day. Too tired to write anymore, actually...
Cheerio

20 days until I move into my new apartment. 31 days until classes start. Sort of terrified : /
I have to keep reminding myself that I'll eventually get into the swing of things and stop feeling like a scared freshmen instead of a less-scared sophomore. Also, it looks like I'll be joining the Middle Eastern Dance Club this year and learning how to belly dance :D I've always wanted to and I know it'll be good for me. So I hope this year turns out to be amazing and I actually get cast in some shows.

I like the one of the two men hunting a bull (bull= building corrosion) very cool

Okay, we all know the movie's going to be a little disappointing after the book. So since we all know that, could you cut out all the bitching? The books are very dense and complex so they do the best they can for the screenplay. If I have to hear one more self-important tween moaning that "they left soo much out!" I'll pull out my hair.
I liked the movie. They did a fair job of including a majority of the main points and the cinematography was pretty impressive. I'd go see it again in a hearbeat :)

Raise your hand if you're going to see Harry Potter Numero 6 at midnight this Tuesday.

*raises hand*

heck yes!!

I just watched Jesus Camp for the first time. All I have to say is God save us from the Evangelicals.

Proof that children are evil:

I rest my case.

Okay, so apparently there's an artist in England known as Banksy. He's been working for a long time spray painting political art across London (chased the whole time by police). The cool thing is, no one knows who he is. He has a large crew who help him assemble his pieces, but his identity has always been a secret. Right now, he has arranged dozens of exhibits in a museum. The museum's council was fully aware of his actions, but even they have never met him. He corresponded to them with notes and over the phone with his agent.

Watch this video if you want to see a couple of his exhibits:

So I got a call today that pretty much knocked me on my ass... I got into the theatre program FINALLY!!
I could not be in more shock; I broke into a sweat as soon as I got the news and promptly burst into tears as soon as I hung up (how very theatrical of me, guess I've got the stuff after all :D )
I registered for the classes I need to take (Introduction to Acting, Script Analysis, and Theatre Practicum). Sadly this means I had to drop Shakespeare and Basic Italian I, but I'll get around to those some time!
I just can't believe it, seriously, I thought WMU had a personal grudge against me or something and just wouldn't let me in. So yay to not feeling like a failure anymore!! This is an odd feeling though, because I'm as ecstatic as I am terrified, lol.
Thanks to all of you for being so great to me while I was having a meltdown. Lots of love, seriously, you're the greatest. :D

Kelsey, Sarah, Jon: We're hanging out. 'nuff said. Tell me when you're free this week.

This is SOO cool, check it out some time.

p.s. I'm home now :D

It's snowing here. I could go into a long rant on how stupid that is, but everyone who reads this lives in Michigan too, so you get it. It's snowing. In April. Enough said.
School ends in three weeks and then I'll be back in Livonia. I think this summer will actually be better than last summer. I have a job now, so I'll have something to do and be making money. I plan on hanging out with friends more instead of becoming a hermit (yeah, that was a mistake...really boring to be a cloister). Also, I've got a lot of reading to do. I have a big stack of books at home that I've bought over the years and never got around to reading. That was the good thing about last summer: I read all the Jane Austen novels.
So, even though I'm not a big fan of Livonia, I think it will be a good summer :)

p.s. can't wait to see you guys!!

So it's snowing...AGAIN. Michigan has the strangest climate ever.
On the upside, I'm reading The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. I've sort of been putting it off for a while because it's about 700 pages so I figured I'd never have the time to read it during school. Turns out, I can't put it down so I'll finish it soon. I absolutely love it. The characters are too intelligent to be true. I think I'm too pragmatic to believe there are geniuses in existence today (I know there are, there have to be, but I guess since I've never met one I figure everyone is on the same plane).
Friday night I went to see a speaker (Josh Dorfman, author of The Lazy Environmentalist) and a group of us went to dinner with him afterward. Super nice, incredibly down to earth. He just finished a tv show that's going to be on the Sundance channel (wish I got that one so I could watch it, Luckily, it will be available online, so watch for it in June!).
I am offically an English major now and I'm really excited about my classes for next year (Shakespeare is one of them :D). I'll probably make the switch from General to Creative Writing next year, once I get a feel for things. I feel like I've been fighting declaring this for a while because I figured if I was going to be a theatre major I couldn't be an english major too (too much art! ah!) and I'd need to balance it out with something practical. But who I am kidding? I'm a literature person, never going to be an engineer or anything. I love it, no point denying anymore, no matter how inconvenient it is.
Well, I'm off to see a play in a bit (The Donkey Show). Love to you all <3

Coming home tomorrow :)
My teachers have decided to give me a nice little pile of homework, so yay.
I'll be going to the DIA, take 2. No trigger-happy little jerk better get in the way this time. I WILL SEE SOME ART, DAMMIT!
Fingers crossed for better weather.
<3

So I heard back from the Theatre Dept. Yeah, they waitlisted me again. So... I guess I have to restart and figure out what I can do with my life. Don't feel too bad for me, I'm doing okay. I've been wondering for a long time if I could live that life. I know I can't handle constant rejection and talented competition all the time would make me hate myself. I love theatre and I always will, but maybe I'm not meant to perform.
Love to you all and please don't feel sorry for me.

Audition is in about four hours.
I woke up last night at four and all my stress just crashed into my head. I couldn't fall asleep for an hour because all I could think was "They're going to hate me. I'll seem amateur. I won't have enough time. I'll make mistakes. I won't be as good as I know I can be."
Luckily, I guess that one hour was enough to drain me of that anxiety because I feel surprisingly good right now. I hope this calm sticks.
I love you guys, and thanks for all your help as long as I've known you. Actors really are neurotic because I think if I didn't hear the good things you all say to me, I'd be a mess. So thanks for that.
Well, I hope I can do another post, preferably ecstatic :)
<3

Lame as this is, I'm glad break is over. I was kind of sitting around for three weeks doing nothing, watching a lot of TV. I was SO glad to catch up with friends, but when our schedules didn't mesh, I was completely bored. There really isn't much to do on your own (especially with no car) in Livonia.
Audition's coming up (the 23rd, I can't believe I haven't cried yet), wish me luck!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NATALIE!!!!!!!

Hey, guys! Okay who's free tomorrow? Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, whatever, just let me know when you're available!!!!
