I love seeing you smile. Never stop.

I have been sick all. week. long. And I am so. sick. of. it. haha
Never fear fellow followers!
I feel so much better than I did on Sunday night and I've gotten progressively better. But right now I just want the weekend. :(

She is so adorable. I wish I looked like her right now. Note: This isn't me. 

Speaking of the weekend, I am supposed to have my bridal shoot on Saturday, but I don't think that's happening. Once again... :(. I'm not even sure I'm in the mood for it, what with all the sneezing and headaches and overall grumpiness. :( I will post pictures when the pictures are up for me to see! And I promise I'll be happy in them. :)
As today approached, I grew more and more worried about it.
My play writing class is so hard. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever get it.
On Tuesday, I suddenly realized the dwindling amount of students who had yet to subject themselves to reading their plays out loud. Therefore, I had an inkling my play would be read today. Guess what? I was right.
It's so much worse when other students politely read the play, and you can see them trying to ignore the teacher's corrective remarks in bright red ink splattered all over the pages.
But that's not the end of it! Oh, no. We had a famous playwright come to BYU this morning for a forum. Obviously, I went and was deeply enthralled with her. An hour later, I am at my playwriting class, and SHE SHOWS UP. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
*Just a little background: My play deals with a very personal experience where a Mormon girl dates an atheist boy...blah blah blah*
This brilliant playwright isn't Mormon and she stated clearly in her forum she is a very liberal minded person. (Totes fine and all kinds of sweetness, if you ask me). In fact, the reason she was at BYU was to talk more about our "conservative" take on life and theatre as a whole.
To have her sit in and listen to my play that is 1) mediocre, 2) so freaking Mormon, and 3) VERY PERSONAL was...challenging. But I happened to steal a glance at her when the play reading finally finished. She was beaming at me! I blushed hardcore.

Me looking bashful. ><

Then George asked me to share my story behind the play. I was shocked, but blundered my way through it, cried a lot and found a new place I could call home. I'll be working on the second draft allll weekend long.You can read more about it my other blog.

I made spaghetti and meatballs tonight for dinner. Didn't use a recipe or nothing for the meatballs and they tasted great! I think I'm getting braver in the kitchen. :D

Though you may go through hardships, never let that stop you from smiling. Though you may find yourself totally "alone," never let that stop you from recognizing those that love you. Because I love you and your smile. :)
