LOOK OUT DINOS

GUESS WHAT.

I just have two more days at my summer job. That's it. Just two glorious days of work and then I'm home free. And can you believe it, my last year of college EVER starts in 26 days. 

Once school starts, I'll be a theatre history TA--grading papers, assignments, written tests, and holding section activities. I'll also be taking 15 (or so) credits this upcoming semester (maybe dropping some classes and definitely adding others). Wanna know what I'm taking currently? Of course you do. haha :]

TMA TA Instruction. Basically where I'll learn how to be a TA. Thank goodness for that. haha

Stats 121. Because it's a gen ed. And I have to. Blech.

Geology 100 (DINOSAURS). Because I really really really wanna take it. And it's a gen ed credit. (Official description of the class: "Hands-on examination of vertebrate fossils -- especially dinosaurs. For nonscience majors. Field trips."

Dramatic Lit 1

...and wait for it...

Acting Explorations

Comedic Sketch Writing

!!! Possibly the best schedule ever (minus stats?) Yeah. I think so.

I haven't been in an acting class in...a long time. I'm actually quite nervous how this will turn out...but I'm sure it'll be enjoyable. ><

I'm pretty pumped to see where this Comedic Sketch Writing class takes me. I want to stretch myself with my writing and this looked like just the ticket. :]

While lying in bed last night, thinking about my final year of college, I couldn't fall asleep. My nerves and excitement just kept me thinking and thinking. Ideas for plays rotated around and around. Worries about balancing between being a grader/ta and a friend in theatre history. Wondering if I'll audition for shows or not. Pondering me and Zac's relationship through it all. 

But goodness gracious. 

I'M FINALLY A SENIOR.

and here are some pictures i took today, celebrating my last three days of work. haha

good night, tuesday

Today shall go down in history.

My first ever hair tutorial, perfect for the summer!

I thought I'd get a haircut today, but alas, due to Pioneer Day, all the salons I'd looked at were closed.

Kinda a bummer.

But then I took a nap, calmed down, and decided to do a hair tutorial.

A lot of people liked how my hair looked in this post, so I thought I'd share how to do it! Super easy and super pretty. :) My kinda girlishness.

Now let's get real.

1. Separate your hair in two sections.

(Note: I used day old hair. My hair needs to be a little greasy for it to stick. haha ><)

2. Separate one section of hair into two sections. 

3. Twist the sections around up the side of your pretty little head.

4. Pin in place.

Yup. That just happened.

5. Repeat on the other side of your pretty little head.

6. Secure in place with more bobbie pins.

7. Tuck away any fly aways and smooth a little hairspray over the not so smooth places.

what i consider to be my "hobbies"

23. List your top 5 hobbies and why you love them.


Gonna be honest. The word "hobby" is odd to me. I do what I feel like doing whenever I feel like doing it. During school, I love school. I love studying (most of the time) and I love homework (if I could be a forever student, that'd be my dream). During the summer, I work, watch movies, hang out with Zac and Josh, and sometimes wake up before 10. "Hobbies" just kind of come in and fit in where I want them to. Making this list was ridiculous. As you'll find out.
Also, I didn't have 5 top hobbies. That's asking a bit much. I only have four. So there! haha

30 Things

oh gosh don't look over here.

I'm still awake.

Because I just got home from the dark knight rises midnight premier. 

I'll write more about it later.

Because I'm still awake and I don't want to be.

Zac and I also ran into his ex girlfriend and her husband at the premier.

He hasn't seen her in about 3 years.

><

I'll leave it at that.

haha Definitely hilarious and a little awkward.

the little engine that could!

(sort that out as you may)

I submitted my first play for production at The Echo Theatre. The Echo is a relatively new theatre in Provo, Utah dedicated to new art and new artists. Utah Shakespeare in the Park sent all of its members an email about a month ago saying that The Echo is launching their Echo10 Project. 

So I set to work revising and editing a ten minute play I finished last October...and I stepped into no man's land and submitted it by hand to The Echo. I walked away from the theatre feeling...relieved, anxious, blissful, and courageous. Yeah, that about sums it up. And I honestly have no idea where this little act of confidence will take me. But just putting my work in someone else's hands...for the first time...I just. I just have no words. I'm excited. I'm nervous. And I'm pretty stinkin' proud of myself.

You can read my play here.

And here are some pictures cataloging my experience. haha

this is my "excited-freaked-out-whatamidoinghere" face

and here are some completely unrelated pictures of the date Zac and I went on tonight. haha

To quote Ferris:

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

30 Things

VAP! Invisible!

21. If you could have one superpower, what would it be and what would you do with it first?

I'm pretty sure my first thought after reading this prompt was: "I'd much rather be the villain." And that's a little weird, I know, but see here's the thing. I feel like I'm a pretty good person...most of the time, anyway. I try to be, at least. I help out, I care, I listen, and all that. But I've always wanted to be the villain in a show. It's never gonna happen, I know. But it'd be neat, that's for sure.  

If I could have one superpower [that I'd use however and whichever way I wanted] I think it'd be invisibility. Oh. I'd love that. If I needed to be alone, no problem. Vap! Invisible! Needed to sneak up on a bad guy? Vap! Invisible! Needed to give the good guy a wedgie? Vap! Invisible! See? So many options! And no one would know it was me.

I know, I know. It's a pretty basic superpower, but think about the profound effects it'd have! Think about the most embarrassing moment you've ever had and then imagine having the ability to completely disengage yourself from the situation because you can't be seen. Gah. Middle school would've been so much easier. :] hahaha

The first thing I'd do with my invisibility? Definitely go to the zoo when it's closed. Or become a spy. Or wear Zac's glasses.

What would your superpower be?
