I miss my friend

Its amazing how such a little guy can take up so much of my heart.

its because I'm straight isn't it?

6 days a week rehearsing 10-6. This is insane.

This week has been all dancing and singing. I can't believe how these actors can learn an entire tap number in a day, then sit down and learn an entire song. Actors in school or community theatres have it so easy.

I went to institute last night and met a dashing lad that graduated from BYU "a while ago". Only as I was driving away did I think that I should have asked him if he is a dental student now.

Just because you've never heard of it, that doesn't mean its "a Utah thing."

I have learned how to make coffee, as every intern should. I still hate the smell of it though.

ps: is it sad that everything I know about alcohol, I've learned from theatre?

:(

Thank you for reminding me about the scooter and how much I miss it...

$162.21

I left Salt Lake Tuesday morning at 8:20 AM. $261.21 in gas later, I made it to Kent State in Ohio. It was Thursday at 4:30 PM. Wow. A round trip ticket from SLC to Cleveland is like $400. So I think I made a good choice in driving. PS The Civic Rocks!

My first few days of work were tiring, but I'm starting to feel more comfortable. I have one neat roomy who is a cutie, and the other one (who I'll share a room with) should be moving in sometime today. We've been saying that for days now and she still isn't here, but I swear...she HAS to be in by today.

I found a church and was able to go to go to Sacrament before hurrying to work. You'd think that a school as big as Kent would have a church or something, but NO...this isn't Utah. There is a singles branch that meets, but they meet at 11 am so I'd never be able to go. Thats ok..I'll probably crash the Memorial Day pancake breakfast next Monday. Yummy.

I went for a 4 mile run this morning and saw like a tiny bit of the campus. This place is so big. Now I'm in the library on the 9th (out of 15) floor. Its pretty deserted up here and I like it. I'll probably check out a book today, but I have no idea how I'll find what I want in this maze.

Everything is goin splendid. I'm happy for humidity again. My skin doesn't feel like sand paper anymore. Love it.

Finally

So...I finally found a computer on this GINORMOUS campus in this HUGE library. Its Saturday afternoon so...I'm the only one here. I think my roomies and I will probably get wireless Internet even though is way overpriced. If that happens, then I'll be a lot more regular with the posts.

For the record: If you take a look at the picture of me with the cone, you will see that it is actually a TWIST cone...not plain Vanilla.

I'm way out of my league here in the theater world. Everyone I'm working with has Stage Managed tons of shows and most of them are either Seniors or have degrees in Stage Management. Whatevs. I'm hoping that my natural talent, desire to learn, hard work, and all that jazz makes up for my lack of experience.

The GPS thing is ridiculously awesome...I'd be lost without it. More updates later!

In Nebraska living the good life

The drive wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I stopped a couple of times, made good time, and am ready to go party it up in Northe Platte, Nebraska!


The awesome sunglasses Dad gave me. So comfortable and effective!

In honor of Dad

I almost stopped for another 50 cent cone in Cheyenne, but I made the wise decision not to.


It took me probably 15 seconds to set up the camera and take this picture (including the 10 second countdown). I love my new tripod.

Ohio

Nervousness just hit me.

happy, not bragging

3.925 GPA this semester. Sigh. I'm happy. Too bad all of my friends think I'm an unintelligent slacker. Maybe I should post my transcript on facebook...

One Week Of Freedom

I was done with finals on the 25th of April, and almost everyone else finished this week. In between Spring Semester ending, and the May term beginning, I had one week of freedom. I tried to make it count.

Joyce and I went went hiking, watched tons of movies, and ate a lot. We also got...very little sleep.





I had a great time at Drew's Wedding. I almost cried when I hugged Camie cause I am just so happy for her. (and him lol)


My mission companion Sarah Struck came to visit so we had a little barbecue up the canyon.


I spent a lot more time on campus this week than at home. This is weird, because I didn't have any school and I think I worked only one day.

The goodbyes started on Tuesday night, continued throughout the weekend, and will occur up until my departure next Monday morning. I hate goodbyes. Always have, always will.

The Techies

So....you know that I love my job right?
