Excitement With One Draw Back

This summer, Brooke and I are taking Mom and Dad to Disney Word for their anniversary!!!!! I'm surprised they actually thought it was a good idea. I mean, I knew they'd think it was sweet, but I didn't really expect them to say go for it. So yeah. We're going to Disney World August 9-19. Brooke and I have something else up our sleeve, but I can't let anyone know what that is....it might slip to Mom and Dad what we're doing. I'll just say that it'll be really exciting!

So what's the one draw back? I'm not coming home until June. I know this is old news, but it's still hard for me to swallow. I'm going to try hard not to fall apart. I know I have the show to look forward to, but when I'm not doing the show or with the cast, I have time to think about things in the dorm. I'm pretty sure I'm sick of being in the dorm. I'm ready to be out. Be home. Be in the familiar. Anywho, I'll have this weekend for fun, next weekend for Mom, and the next weekend for fun. Then after that, only 3 more weekends until I get to come home. Oh boy.

So I'm really excited about Disney World. Basically, I want it to be August just so we can go. However, then I would want it to be the beginning of the summer again, so that I can enjoy home some more.

See you all in 5 and a half weeks.

Lots of Love.

I Will Make It

So....I'm not coming home until June. Dad and I decided this on Friday. So, I was pretty hysterical that day/night. I cried for about 2 hours. But then I talked to Nathan for like an hour. Also, when I went to LTOB for the show, Joe and Don cheered me up a lot. I am pretty sure that the only way I'll really make it through these next 6 weeks is due to the cast. I love these people! I can't wait to go back this weekend.

Anywho, from crying so much and not getting a lot of sleep, my eyes were really tired and I because sick. My throat hurt, I almost fell asleep driving to the theatre, and I had hot flashes on stage and cold flashes back stage. It was aweful. I didn't get out of the theatre until 1 AM....but that's because we had a reception after the show. Since I didn't want to drive all the way back to Westerville, I ended up sleeping at Maria's house (a girl in the show who lives in Westerville). It was nice. I'll be sleeping there for the next 3 weekends...just so then I won't have to drive back to Westerville at 1 AM Friday and Saturday nights.

Saturday I hung out with David, John, and the Hsus. It was fun. We went on the boat. Kirby's selling it soon, so he wanted to take it out to get the bugs worked out :) Then we drove to the theatre. David and John saw Fiddler. They liked it...so we must have done a good job :) I can't wait until Mom comes to see the show!

Today was fun. Michael woke me up 20 minutes earlier than I wanted to get up...but oh well. Right after church I had to drive straight to the theatre. Today was a really nice day. It was like 80 degrees...which means it was like 115 degrees on stage. But luckily no one fainted. After the performance, Maria and I went to Joe's house. His brother was confirmed today and they had a bunch of food....Joe invited us, we didn't invite ourselves. I had a lot of fun. I can't wait until Friday when we have our movie night!

So that is the latest on me. I know this quarter will be hard, but I have the weekends to look forward to. Also, I have sold out houses to look forward to. That's right; Fiddler is all sold out! Exctied? You bet.

6 and a half weeks...

Lots of Love.

Fiddler Update

Basically....it is going to be awesome! I'm really excited! What's even more exciting is the fact that we only have 4 shows not sold out....April 28, May 11, and the 2 shows May 12. Exciting, no? Also, we switche back to our original music director. He cancelled all his plans...well excpet one which was uncancellable (is that a word?). Anywho, he'll end up being late to the show, but he'll be there...eventually. I lvoe this cast. They are so much fun. However, I have gotten scolded for spending time in the boys dressing room. You may ask why I'm in there...well, they don't have any changes adn there are so many girls with changes that it is just easier to be in the boysdressing room. They are right across the hall form each other anyway, so it really doesn't matter that much. You may also ask why I was scolded....well, even thoguh I ask if anyone is changing before I go in, I was still asked if I ask before I go in...so i guess scolded isn't the right word. But in any case, maybe I shoudln't hang out with the moys anymore...too bad, because they are a lot of fun :)

In other theatre news, LTOB got almost a $6,000 grant from the Columbus Foundation. I guess usually they get about $2,000, so this is pretty cool. Go us!

That's about it. I'm planning on coming home May 1 and 2....but we'll see what really happens.

Lots of Love.

An Update

Hopefully, now that I have moved my bed from a loft to a regualr bed on the ground, I'll be able to sleep. Don't get me wrong; the Ambien worked great, but for some reason I could not sleep on my bed, even if I took the Ambein. So I rearranged my room. My desk and bookcase are now by the window. I like the change. It seems like I have more room on the floor too. Funny.

Fiddler is coming along. Having canned music is really rough. So is switching the music director. Instead of the guy who has been with us this whole time we have a new person. Why? Because the original music director can't make it for all for all of the shows. We knew this, but it's still hard to have someone else direct us. The shows are selling out fast. April 20 May 5, and May 6 are sold out and the rest are over 70% full. Of course, it's a small theatre, but still...

I hope to come home May 1 and 2. Why? I miss home a lot and I don't think I can stand being away for a whole 7 and a half more weeks. I already had a horrible Sunday night and I don't want a repeat. Of course, having someone visit me out here wouldn't be awful either ;) Hint, hint...

I'm really excited for my classes next year. My only problem now....rooming. I dont' know a) where I'm living and b) who I'm living with. I had several offers, all of which I guess weren't really offers...more like talkign about but not really serious....or forgotten so I've been replaced. Nice huh? Yeah, I thought so too. As much as I'd like to live in a house or apartment next year, I think sleeping in a dorm room again is better. Why? Well, I'd be on campus, I'd have easy access to a piano (for practice), and I'd be more likely to be around people.

Yesterday, I sang at Thursdays at Battelle. I felt like I did really well...and I guess I did because all fo my friends and my teachers said I was really good. They couldn't stop saying enough about how comfortable I looked and how wonderful I sounded. Yay me! :)

Well, I should do some exercises or something. Maybe work on my choreography project? Yeah...

If I don't see you soon I'll see you in 7 and a half weeks.

Lots of Love.
