across the universe

is AMAZING! i was blessed with no Oz rehearsal tonight, so david, leah, noelani, kenny, and i went to go see "across the universe" and it was great! there were acouple of slightly odd scenes and some slight nudity (artsy mostly though), but i loved all of it, every minute!
and it was a fun night. fun had by all, so thats always good.
tonight i get to sleep!!! yay!!! i didnt go to sleep thursday night because we had an all nighter in the benson for Oz stuff and i stayed and helped with that. soo yeah, i have been up for a VERY long time, and i am happy about sleeping and sleeping in! w00t!!

so on that note, goodnight xo

"...do it anyway"

life is...interesting. not everything works out like you might want it to, but you have to always look for those positives and know that god is in control and he will bless you with something amazing. and although this requires more patience than i would like to give it sometimes, its something worth looking forward too...

but on other notes...i didnt have musical rehearsal tonight, which was nice. i got to go to my wednesday night bible study, which i am really enjoying. i also had my A&P test today, which i think i did alright on. not wonderful, i could definitely have done better, but it shouldnt be too bad. and now i dont have to worry about alot of studying for that for awhile, at least while Oz is going on. and the week is half way over! good stuff

life choices...

is it bad that i like my minor (theatre) more than i like my major (exercise science)...???

eh...maybe, maybe not

not necessarily...

we will see

hanging out

...literally
tonight we had 1st rehearsal for shift crew for the wizard of oz and i move the porch during the tornado scene. only i move it from underneath. meaning that i am laying in a harness and sling and i use my hands and feet to spin it and move it off stage.
we did this for at least an hour
i hung for at least an hour
but in all honesty, it wasnt that bad
its odd
i like it

my life is about to become very hectic...

:-\

1, 2, 3, once upon a time...

so, today was our first piper show/tour!!! and oh boy what i first piping experience it was! we had 5 shows today and it was great. we went to two different elementary schools (with 2 shows each) and then we went to the sunshine school and performed which is a school for physically and mentally handicapped people. and all of the shows were great! the first one was kinda of "eh" because it was the first time for this troupe to perform together for kids and for four of us it was our first piper show EVER, but the shows just got better and better and the day as a whole was great! what a way to start the year off, unfortunately one of our pipers couldnt join us though. andy frye woke up with bad back spasms and couldnt get out of bed, so we went by his room to give him medicine and wished him well on our way to the first school. on the bus we went over the stories that he has specific lines in (which lucky for us pipers, we have few stories that arent completely improved) and we made sure all of his lines/things he does were covered. and we did pretty well at remembering to cover them in shows. not perfect :-P but pretty well. cant wait to pipe with him in a show though, we were sad he was hurting.

and so yeah, that was our first piping experience of the year and it was great! and all of us new pipers really feel like we are officially pipers now and we are much more confident about what we are doing. omgoodness, so much fun!

other than that life has just been going like normal. busy but good.

midterm grades are up and i am not doing as well as i would like....im not doing bad, but im one of those A students and likes making A's and right now i have 2 A's and 5 B's....not horrible but not as well as i would like. and one of my A's is in my hardest class (anatomy and physiology). and i am pretty sure that some of those B's are high B's and wouldnt be very hard to bump up to A's, i just need to stay focused a little more on school work and remembering to complete online stuff and things like that. especially in this second half of school because life is just going to get busier with me with theater stuff, with the musical crunch time coming and then Wit rehearsal starting after that and with pipers still. soo yeah, i just need to organize my time properly and stay on top of things and i think i can get some of those B's up and hopefully keep the A's i have (trig shouldnt be a problem, but anatomy is a difficult class).

so that is where school is at, and that is where performing life is at...and now it is bed time
