One Month So Far

So far I've been up in Alaska for a few days over a month.

Things have been different since coming up here. I've learned to control some things, while learning to live on my own without the help of my parents financially speaking. Living within the means that I have has been exceptionally difficult so far - since I only had so much that I came up here with.

Today is another milestone - my new roommate arrives today! I'm kinda of excited and absolutely terrified. I haven't had a roommate since back in high school when I had to share a room with one of my sisters. There are so many odd quirks that I have and I hope we can find our mutual point of understanding and hopefully become friends.

To all my friends who've had college roommates: how did you get along? What kind of advice would you give to someone who's never lived with a non-family member before?


I feel like I'm way behind the curve with this one. Any advice would be helpful.

Thank Goodness!

I started school again today!

I have never been more relieved to be at school in my entire life. This summer has been . . . endless! Some points were great: like going to Ohio and visiting my brother and sister-in-law and hanging out; going to community theatre shows; and, of course, working on film sets. But, like all things, there were parts that just wouldn't end! (People I have to deal with on a daily basis, rude comments, and not being able to leave because the car I normally drive was being used and trashed inside.)

So, for this semester I have a fantastic line-up:

Monday/Wednesday:

Jogging (which I have with an amazing theatre friend! Whoot!)

and,

Acting 1 (to which I'm a tad nervous, but today was only the lecture day/getting to know you day)

Tuesday/Thursday:

Physical Science (the one class that I'm uber paranoid about!)

Drawing 1 (I get to take this from a guy who goes to the same church as me! He's the director of the arts program at my college!)

Voice and Diction (another theatre class which, incidentally, I'm making up from the last director we had. The one we have now is a whole lot better.)

Art Appreciation (not really too concerned about this one, but we'll see tomorrow)

And, on top of all those I have Praticum, which is 40 hours of working behind the scenes.

Besides school, I've been applying for jobs around my general living vicinity. Right now I have an application in at Hobby Lobby, next I'm going to fill one out for Staples.

Whoo . . . that's all that I have to report for now.

Oh! The picture is of me from the Ren Festival this year. I <3>

Adieu!

Along with the Show

I'm extremely tired this morning/afternoon. I've been working out spring show/musical down at my college and it's been a tad tiring. And fun. It's interesting to watch the show each night and see the differences in each show.


Along other lines, only two more weeks of classes! Well, actually, one more week of actual class time, then one week of exams. After that I'm off until the 27 of May, when summer classes start.


That's all for now.

Adieu.
