Long Time, No Post.

Since M pimped her blog, I'm pimping mine (not that mine is interesting or whatev, just wanted to post something on here hahaha)

Still a work in progress...gonna spruce it up when I get time to play in PSP :)

M & Katie! We NEED to chat about the musical, once your semesters slow down some!

Next to Normal and the Easter Bunny

I miss being little when Easter meant Easter Egg finding, sugar highs, and giant chocolate bunnies. Unfortunately, I'm just really not excited for Easter this year. If I could just skip tomorrow all together, I'd be pretty happy. I love my family but I require a LOT of Katie-time alone which I don't really get over holidays. My lack of ability to sleep paired with working a ton has just made me generally grumpy and grouchy lately. Unfortunately, with an A&P lab exam and a biology lecture exam on Wednesday, I don't think this week will be any more calm. Hopefully tomorrow will be a nice day and I can walk my dog down to the park to play and get away for a while. *cue A Way Back to Then*

This new musical opened on Broadway a week or so ago called Next To Normal. It's actually an original musical (I know, I thought they were going extinct too...) about a dysfunctional family. The cast recording was released on Tuesday and the minute I heard it, I fell in love. I absolutely LOVE this musical. I can really relate to it which is both amazing and very scary at the same time but if you have a chance, you should check it out. Alice Ripley(the one Jeffy thinks is fierce), Aaron Tveit(the one you will immediately fall in love with), and Jennifer Damiano(the one from the OBC of Spring Awakening) star in it.

Just like always, we've gotten no farther on our musical, but I did have to buy myself a new notebook (this one's fun stripes since I filled the Tinker Bell and Princess notebooks...) to write ideas and thoughts in. Hopefully this summer when B gets a new job, M has graduated, and I'm out of school we'll have time to keep working on it and we'll see where it goes!

So hopefully you have a happy Easter/Passover and I hope the Easter Bunny hops over to your house tonight and leaves some yummy candy.

Please check it out!

So in my last post, I mentioned that I was thinking of making a blog for my writing and my novel, so I can talk solely about my creative writing somewhere. With the encouragement of my friend Emmy, I decided to go ahead and do that. Never fear, I'll still post on here! But I would greatly appreciate if you would check out my other blog...merely for support purposes. :)

44 days

Today marked 44 days on my countdown to graduation. And I still don't know what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I've gone to career fairs, submitted a couple resumes, and...yeah...still no clue.

The best thing is that whenever I tell someone that I'm graduating in a bit more than a month (or whenever I talk to someone who already knows that), I always get the same question. "What are your plans after graduation?" And I always have the same answer: "No idea."

Yeah, it's good times.

On another note, I'm considering starting a blog for my novel and other author-y (as my friend Emmy call it) musings outside of this musical. Thoughts, anyone?

How I feel lately...

I saw this picture on I Can Has Cheezeburger. I've gotten rather addicted to this site lately because it makes me smile and makes my day better. And THIS is how I've been feeling this quarter:

Stupid weather...

I wish the weather would make up its mind. I'm tired of this having to wear a winter coat to my morning classes, but then just wearing a sweatshirt to everything else. It's hard to plan for and obnoxious. I say this every year, but it always bothers me. If it wants to be cold out, fine, be cold out. But stay cold out for the entire day, so I can just keep the apartment thermostat on heat rather than having to switch back and forth from heat to AC. I would prefer it be warm, but...since when has Ohio weather done what people want?

Spring Awakening and growing pains

I appreciate Katie's willingness to let me see Spring Awakening (in about twelve hours and forty-five minutes!) before she begs for it back. I also appreciate the comment she left on my facebook status in which she stated that she is "soooooooooooooooo jealous" of me seeing it tomorrow...and then proceeding to admit she saw it seven times plus a cabaret only a month ago. Ah, friendship at its finest. :P

Yes, indeed, I am seeing Spring Awakening tomorrow. Well, technically it's "today," but I haven't gone to sleep for the night yet, so in my mind its tomorrow. I'm roadtripping with my roommate, Kathleen, to Cleveland. That's a three-hour drive from here. Which means we have to leave around 8 in the morning to give ourselves enough elbow room to potentially get lost, pick up our "will call" tickets, and find somewhere to eat lunch (even though we're brown-bagging it). Let's face it...this is just a practice run for the day trip Kathleen and I will be taking to NYC (9 hour drive...at least) when [title of show] reopens. *cough* Anywho, the show starts at 1. So regardless of the early morning that is looming its ugly face right now...I'm terribly excited to finally see this show live! AND I have a stage seat, so the excitement is just magnified because of that.

Something I've learned recently...or...again...whatever...is that while I'm excited to be graduating from college in a couple months...I'm TERRIFIED of it too. This isn't really a new revelation, but it's becoming more real now that I've started my final quarter here. Various things keep popping up their heads making me realize that this is really happening. Last quarter it was ordering my cap, gown, and graduation announcements. This quarter (already) it has been the notification of my graduation application being received (and pending "successful completion" of the courses I'm in now, it being accepted fully) as well as a thick packet of commencement weekend materials. This packet contained everything from a schedule for the weekend to how many tickets I can approximately get for graduation. On top of that stuff, the senior class of my sorority is also gearing up for our time in the chapter to come to an end. And while I'm excited to graduate and go out into the "real world"...I'm also completely petrified. Growing pains, I guess.

So that's currently the world according to M. Broadway shows, looming graduation, and...well, not much writing going on. I should probably get on that...
