really busy

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 05:15:50 GMT

that's honestly all I can say when people ask how I am. I'm really busy. REALLY busy. School, CYT, Sea World, church, trying to have a social life, be an aunt, and keep myself healthy all at the same time. There is not an hour of my day that isn't scheduled. I'm going from 8 am to 10 pm every day. it's really exhausting, and I'm learning to say no. this summer it has to just be work. That's all I can do. work and travel is all I want. And to have a real social life like last semester. I want to have weekends free to go out with the girls. I want to go out on dates! I want to go to freaking DISNEYLAND! I have a pass that has been sitting in my wallet since before christmas! When can I have a break?

Oh, Xanga...

You have been there in the back of my mind for so long. But for some reason I can't seem to be able to spill my emotions out into an online journal for whoever decides to look. But I can't seem to be able to just shut you down...

Changes, great ones!

I'm scheduled for surgery on friday 9/7. Please keep me in your prayers.

my body

Thu, 23 Aug 2007 22:51:49 GMT

is seriously failing me right now. I have more health problems than I would like to share. I am slowly breaking down, and I just don't know what to do anymore. I've really loaded my schedule this coming semester: 4 dance classes, teaching Movement for theatre and directing a tour group for CYT NCC, auditioning for Traditions, and hoping to be considered for kickline or ensemble. will my body be able to handle it? I really hope I don't have to get too invasive of a surgery...

Beauty and the beast

Thu, 09 Aug 2007 22:56:33 GMT

opens tonight at starlight. I'm playing a silly girl. The cursed silly girl, as it seems. So, I sprained my ankle monday night, and last night my tonsils decided to swell up to the size of grapes. I'm sick and my body hurts, and the show seems to be goig fine until the choreographer changes stuff on us last minute. like, seriously, last minute. It was midnight after the run-thru last night, and she changed Be Our Guest. Oh, well. The show will be fantastic, I will swallow my pain and be brilliant, and the whole thing will go of without a hitch, lord willing. Come see it.

is weird. I don't know if I'll ever be able to get into it. But grilled cheese is amazing. No one who reads this will have any idea what I'm talking about. In short, last night was fun, B&B is going really well, I turn into a ginger on monday, and I'm off to go buy makeup so I can start designing this damn show. any questions?

HI!

Isn't it funny that when everything is fabulous in my life, I have nothing to write about?
