Life is (mostly) good.

So, my one Thursday class was cancelled this morning, and I have alllll day to do whatever I please. Yeah, there are some things that really need to get done today, but knowing me, I'll leave them till like, late tonight. Because if there is one thing in this world I'm really good at, it's procrastination.

School's been alright, though every single one of my professors seem to be physically incapable of posting grades, so I'm not 100% sure how I'm doing in my classes. English is the one I'm most anxious about, next to History. It's hard to focus on core classes when your major is so demanding. I'm pretty sure I'll pass, but I'd really like to come through with at least a B. An A in either of those classes is nearly impossible at this point.

I'm excited to start on Fight Boy Theatre's new show, What Actually Happened (An Unbiased and Entirely Accurate History of Denton, TX). Auditions are April 17 and 18, and I'm just gonna be an actor this time around. I've also taken over the Facebook page and the Twitter account, and I'm especially proud of my work on Twitter account, as I went in and made the profile look pretty.

Finally started writing some of my novel. I have a feeling this little project is going to take me years.

I am looking to put in an application to The Lasso, TWU's newspaper. They have a Staff Writer position open, and I think I am perfect for the job. I'm just waiting for them to get back to me about how to apply. Cross your fingers for me, I really want this.

I'm just still astounded at how much I really love my school. I actually have some school spirit. Having hated school all my life, I'm pleasantly shocked at this new feeling. I love the campus, the professors, and the students. It's actually sort of fun, if you can call school fun. However... I am ready for this semester to be over. I'm a little worn out.

I'm also looking forward to Arts & Jazz Fest this year. I haven't been in two years, and I'll be working part of it, helping my dad stage manage the Senior Center Stage.

Just wishing I wasn't so broke. But I guess you can't have everything in life.

And of course, I miss Travis. He's really so ridiculously wonderful. Not sure how I landed such a good guy. I can't wait to see him again! (He said something earlier this week about visiting this weekend... I hope that's still a go.) I also can't wait till he moves back... he's getting closer and closer to that point every day. Yay. :-)

Well, I'm excited to go skating again tonight with Deni and Joey. We've made it so that every Thursday we get together and go skating at Eureka Park. It's a good work-out, plus we get to have girl talk. It's super fun.

I could ramble some more about other things, but I think I'll just leave it at this: My life is so much better than it was a year ago. ^.^

Be Your Own Star

Yes, it's been far too long since my last post. I give up on trying to blog regularly.

School's been going fairly well. I could probably be doing a little better and trying a little harder, but it's not bad. I'll be fine, I think. Just take it one day at a time. I love the theatre department at TWU, and the people there are pretty awesome. I'm still not fully integrated, but I have a feeling that once I do a show or two (next semester), I will be.

Feast of Plays was a total success. Had a pretty good audience every night, and our opening night had the most people ever at a Fight Boy opening night, as well as our last show having the second largest audience Fight Boy has ever seen. My show, Shades of Grey, went particularly well, and my cast was awesome. We closed last weekend, and I'm missing the show pretty badly. I can't wait to do the next show, which will be What Really Happened (A Completely Accurate and Unbiased History of Denton, TX). I plan to audition. I miss being onstage.

Oh yeah, I dyed my hair purple.

Right now, I'm just trying to get through the rest of the semester, keep my social life afloat, and start on a new writing project. I wanted to start on my novel next, and have been thinking a lot about it this past week, but this morning I woke up with the urgent notion that my next project has got to be a full-length play. Considering I don't have any idea as to what that should be about, we'll see if that's really what's next or not. I have no clue. I just know that I gotta get to writing soon.

And of course, I miss Travis a lot. He's doing really well out in Shreveport, and getting closer every day to moving back. This is exciting. I need him back in my zip code. Thank goodness he has a cell phone now - we've been texting a great deal. It helps.

There's a lot more I wish I could say, but it's not for the public. Just a bunch of emotional crap that only I can deal with and figure out. Oh the joys of "finding yourself." :-/
