Monday!

Today is German Day,

More on that later.

Mondays are just another day here in las Vegas, Much like Sunday where nothing stops and everything continues as normal. Stage Management class, fun as always. and Directing we have been watching the monologues so nothing huge to report. In our stage managers meeting we sit around and solve the worlds problems which sometimes works others no good.

I have a reading of the show I am in "pink champagne" in an hour and i am really excited about that!

Joe is at German day, Apparently every month him and his friends choose a country and make food and play cards some how associated to that country. So here I sit just wanting to be at German day, and Instead I am at school all day with nothing that great going on!

Anyway! More to come tomorrow I'm sure!

A song that really gets to me"

"Dancing in the backyard
Kool-aid moustache and butterfly wings
Hearing Andrea McArdle sing
From the hi-fi in the den
I've been waiting my whole life
To find a way back to then

I aimed for the sky
A nine-year-old can see so far
I'll conquer the world and be a star
I'll do it all by the time I'm ten
I would know that confidence
If I knew a way back to then

So I bailed on my hometown
And became a college theatre dork
I was eastbound and down
Moving to New York
So I crammed my life in a U-Haul
To find my part of it all

But the mundane sets in
We play by the rules
And plough through the days
The years take us miles away
From the time we wondered when
We'd find a way back to then

And when you least expect
Opportunity walks through the door
You suddenly connect
With the thing that you forgot
That you were looking for

And there you are
Right in the middle of what you love
With the craziest of company
You're having a kick-ass time
And being who you wanted to be in this world

You're that little girl
With her wings unfurled
Flying again
Back in your backyard dancing
I found a way back to then."

Can i just tell you how much this song means to me right now. I have been really belting it out lately and working on making the lyrics hit home.

I feel like this song is my life, I am sure that everyone feels that way when they hear a song like this. But just over a month a go i threw my life in U-haul to find my piece of it all. And you know what just like it says, when you least expect it opportunity knocks on your door, you suddenly connect... I have really done that, I am here making every connection meeting awesome people and working with amazingly talented people. and I am having a "Kick-Ass" time! So right now the world around me seems to spin for me and that is awesome. I know that it won't stay this way for ever but live in the moment, and enjoy it while you can.

I really LOVE this song, and I hope that it means something to EVERYONE that hears it or reads it!

SIde note, Its sunday Here in Las Vegas, well its sunday really everywhere, but things do not stop here on SUnday, Its weird how much goes on, meetings and shows,and rehearsals and stuff! But alas my church of brandon (in my bed) will have to be postponed for a while.

:-)

End of Week Four...

Well I haven't been able to blog lately I have a few things going on!

Monday, i went back to class, it was nice Really nothing excited in class land this week, Stage Management is Stage Management. Directing we are watching everyones scenes they have done, which is interesting and we end up talking about many things that really do click in my head, but the class room is so freaking cold I am like shivering for body heat its so cold. Anyway thats going well.

On Tuesday I started doing some work in the shop. Blah, I really don't want to work in the shop, I mean like not even a little. I am trying really hard to remain positive about it, I mean i am going to end up doing meanial tasks I can just listen to my Ipod and not think about the world while im there, I just really don't want to be there. One of the girls that works there told me I would be good at grunt work, and i wanted to punch her in the face! Whatever, There must be a reason for this too! What it is? who knows. I am hoping that next semester or year i can move to a different GA and not be in the shop. Or who knows I may love it (don't hold your breath)

I also went on a date on tuesday night, It was really great, very very fun. Maybe more on that another time. For now I'll just keep that off the internet to see where things go.

Umm, today we had a production meeting and It was on the edge of the cliff for most of the cliff. In the end with simple communication I think we are going to solve everything and make everything work. This brings me to another Adult lesson i would like to discuss.

COMMUNICATION

its not that hard? Its really not hard at all. We are all grown ups, and we can talk about things. It doenst have to be offensive or stand off ish, it just has to be communication. I really feel like that if everyone in the world could take a step back and work on communicating better we would all be in a better place. Anyway, one day i will solve the worlds problems.

I have started house managing for "Reasons To Be Pretty" and its a good show. Its very adult language! Yowzer! buts its done well!

So plans for the upcoming days, house manage, film another short, house manage, catch up on some sleep, and hopefully have a wonderful weekend!

Thats it for week four! Bring on week five!

(P.S.) Im going to hobby lobby soon! Can't WAIT!

Being an adult.

So in the last few days I have had a lot of moments where i just wanted to say, Seriously grow up! We are adults! I would understand this behavior from the teenager at the high school but from you?

Its been really a funny reoccuring moment in my life lately. I know that I don't always have everything together but I feel like in general I know who i am and what i need to do to get therough life for the most part. SO DONT WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO HOLD YOUR HAND!

IT is so important that you really focus on what your name in life is, if you are involved in something, you need to work on that to make sure that not only the show or thing you are doing looks good but your name looks good, Why settle for mediocre? What is the point, is that what you want to do with the rest of you life? Is that what you want to be remembered for?

I know that you should not always focus on your self but i think it is so important to think about what you are leaving in the world and what you want your legacy to be!

Anyway, If you need to know something, ask! If you have a problem, COMMUNICATE!!! GROW UP! that is my moral for the day!

dedicated to princess!

PURE BLISS!

IN a moment of PURE BLISSS tonight i found out there is a Hobby Lobby here in las Vegas!

And now i will be poor due to this.

Thank you and good night!

End of Week Three!

Well it has been a really good week.

Friday I had a production meeting for Whales Save Us went really good! That show is going to be very fun! and as josh says Let the Humor into your design, so thats going to be fun!

After that meeting I went to the first read through of the show i was cast in "Pink Champagne" I love that cast, its going to be a very very fun process. I am really excited to work on a new play as an actor. We are going to be blazing that show which is awesome. The play wright is a smart guy, and I really think the show is going to be fun.

Past that I have done nothing exciting, Living in vegas is boring! You may not believe that but it is! The next week is going to be busy because I start house managing and working in the shop.

Anyway as boring as that post was it tells you whats going on in my life!

I really want to come to Utah and see Beauty and The Beast!!!!!!!!!!!

One day of classes this week

So having monday off rocks!

It meant that really my only day of classes was wednesday which was awesome!!!!

Yesterday in directing class I had a monologue that i had an actor doing and i was directing, I picked a piece from Sordid Lives, which is a great great show! anyway, it went really well, its the oddest thing everything that Tylo (prof) says makes so much sense. And I think why is it that more people are not teaching not only directing but acting this way!

After class I went to a Film department meeting, I really want to get more involved in film and TV production, and I was sitting in the meeting listening, and I was thinking of all the classes I wanted to take, and I had this moment, Its not about how fast I get through this degree its what I can take away from it. I think its interesting because I have done this too, how fast can i get out of here, what is the minimum i need to do to get my degree, But if you think about it, why would you rush it, Now don't get me wrong I dont want to be here past my three years, but when im picking my classes I really need to focus on the best benefit for me, it may be a hard class and time consuming, but isn't that why I am here?

Im off to sign my contract for My Graduate Assistantship which is going to be interesting I am not a shop person, no really i'm not!

My blog on Reba is coming very very soon! So keep checking in!
