3rd time's the...charm?

well...i guess dating just isnt for me this semester...

life goes on...

same story second verse

i didnt feel well today....my stomach hurt for most of the day....not fun

you ever have those days where you feel like you are becoming slightly depressed?....i dont know. maybe its not so much depressed as it is apathy....

Apathy is a state of indifference — where an individual has an absence of interest or concern to certain aspects of emotional, social, or physical life.
Apathy can be object-specific — toward a person, activity or environment. It is a common reaction to stress where it manifests as "learned helplessness" and is commonly associated with depression. It can also reflect a non-pathological lack of interest in things one does not consider important.

yeah, i think apathy would be the correct word

i think thanksgiving break will be good for me

back on a positive note

i registered for spring classes today! yay! i am pretty happy about next years courses.
they are as followed:
MWF:
9=chapel
10=theater design I
11=theater history II
12=nutrition
1=christian home (bible)

TR:
9=chapel
1-3:30=anatomy and physiology II

and then when i dont have class until 5 on all of those days i will be working. either in the nursing building again or with spring sing build crew. i havent talked to sully to see which days he would rather me work for that, but sometime i will be. so thats cool. and good thing about spring sing build crew, once its over, i no longer have work, so then i have that time free! that will be nice.
but no more anything after 5 this semester!! yay!! no class!! yay!!
of course i will have theater stuff im involved in, but no classes!! yay!
that makes me happy
very happy

the end

LIFE IS TOO SHORT

go to "wit" rehearsal starting at 6 ever day for the rest of this week

please pray for this week though...i might need it :-\

3, 2, 1 story's done

piper tour is over :-( it was a bitter sweet ending. bitter because this past week has been so much fun playing with kids and with fellow pipers, but sweet because we were all so tired by the end of the week and kinda ready to get back home. we were missing people back home.
now to tell you a little about the rest of the week after the first day. i don't exactly remember what days or when some of these shows were because the shows just all kind of blend together. on thursday and friday we had 5 shows both days, which made the total for this tour 17 shows. not too shabby. thursday we went to Vanderbilt's Children's Hospital, which was very cool. there weren't very many kids that could come personally to see us, but we were being videoed and broadcast into all of the other kids rooms, so they got to watch us on their tv. that was very cool. i really liked going there a lot; sweet sweet kids. we went to another Y.E.S center, more elementary schools, a preschool (which i almost said the word "crap" at in front of 2 and 3 year olds....oops), and an after school drama thing (which was less like a show, more like, this is what we do and how we do it). the theater thing we did was after school and before their play rehearsal, and we did a short show and they got to ask us questions afterward and we told them about pipers and being a piper, and stuff like that. so that was a little different and neat. nice way to end a tour.
friday night we went to eat at the cheesecake factory, which is a great place, and then we went and played lazer tag!! that was my first time ever to play, it was fun! i got 14th place, out of 22 people...not too shabby for first time. the girls played one game, and then we let the boys stay and play another game. lazer tag was fun though, i definitely would like to go again.
then saturday we went out to little shops and thrift stores and a book store, and got to do some shopping. that was cool. i love thrift stores. then we went home.

so to summarize, it was an amazing and successful tour, and i LOVE the pied pipers!!!

now to catch up and go back to school :-\

We're the PIED PIPERS!

soooo today was our first day of shows for our fall tour in Nashville Tennessee!!! and it was greatness! we did seven shows! crazy, but sooo much fun. seven actually isnt that bad. we did an david lipscomb elementary show in the morning which was preschool and kindergarten. that was cute. then we went to the nashville public library and did three shows in their childrens story room; which was amazing!! it was soo cool! it had inset seats along three of the walls and a stage (which we didnt use, because it had their story stuff on it). and it was wooden and just really really cool. and then we got an hour break before our next show, which was really nice, i took a little nap, very much needed. then we had another show....dont remember where...lets ask jodi. oh yeah, we went to another elementary school. that group was very energetic. it was a very multicultural school (like, there were some girls there that were muslim and wore the head coverings and everything). and they were very huggy. we talked about after how it didnt seem like they got alot of physical attention at home because they wanted lots of hugs. i really liked it. they were very happy to have us there. then we went to target just so we could walk around and have a little free time. then we went to Y.E.S. which stands for youth encouragment [something]. and it is an after school program for intercity kids and that was probably my favorite show of the whole day!!! i love hanging out with those intercity kids. at first some of them were a little reserved, but it didnt take long for them to open up, and once they did...oh man. they were alot of fun. and after the piper show we stayed alittle and just played with them, and we did little sally walker, and one of the girls taught me and jodi the soldier boy dance and...it was fun. lots of fun. then that night we went to jodi's church from dinner and we did a show for all of the kids there too. and when i say all, i mean all. it ranged from the pre-k kids to the highschoolers and even parents. that was fun. had some bonding time with some of the highschool girls there.

fun fun fun fun fun

oh man. and its only the first day!! w00t for the rest of the week!

dont have a title for this one...

i am really glad to be leaving tuesday for almost a whole week. from tuesday to saturday. it will be very nice. i will greatly enjoy the break. i need it. i need to get away from here for awhile. have fun with kids, have fun with pipers. think about things in life that need to be thought about...

i think sometimes god gives you what you think you want...and then you realize that its not really what you wanted after all...

interesting

We're off to see the Wizard...

...the wonderful Wizard of Oz...is OVER!!!

this weekend was homecoming and tonight was our last show for the musical! its a good feeling. not saying that the musical wasnt fun, because it was, i enjoyed it for the most part very much. and i will miss hanging out back stage with my fellow shift crew, and seeing the friends i have in the musical whenever they werent on stage, bugging adam sullivan, and being ninjas, along with all that other fun stuff that goes on during musical rehearsals and shows. and i loved the friendships and bonds made/strengthened through out this process. but its over! and for this i am happy! that means no more all nighters. that means no more all afternoon rehearsals. that means no more moving huge pieces of scenery from underneath!
but it also means getting to see my roommate while she's actually awake; getting to see my friends that arent involved in the musical; getting to do homework (odd that im saying that, but not being behind in classes and having time to do work you have to do anyway is a good thing).

now, usually after a show is over, and you gain all this free time back into your life its hard to adjust for awhile because you just sit there and you dont know what to do because you havent had time to just do nothing before. although, for me this will not be the case. right after this the pied pipers are leaving on a fall tour to nashville tennessee!! and i am toooooo excited! we leave tuesday at 1:30 and we will be getting back saturday night. i can not wait to go away for a week and get out of searcy for awhile, and be with the amazing piper troupe and see tons of kids!! good stuff
on other piper news, we had a home show today for homecoming. it was alot of fun and went very well i would say. we had 12 of the "veteran" pipers there at the show and they (of course) came up and joined us for some of the stories. that was fun. i like watching the old ones get back up there and do their "piper thing." lol. we also go to perform for our friends and family. and that was fun. i tell my friends about the pipers and what we do so often, and im glad they got the chance to come and actually see us do a show. and i thank every single one of them who came!

its day light savings time! horray! hour extra sleep! goodnight!
