Under Pressure

So....I've been really busy. It's nice. Here's what's been going on:

A storm passed through the area and did quite a bit of damage. Many trees were knocked over and school was cancelled two days in a row. It took a lot to get it all cleaned up.

Right now, Musical Productions is working on the Musical Revue. I don't know how I feel about it. I got a solo and it's one of my favorite songs. However, I feel like the class is falling apart. Every song is a solo. The ensemble sings hardly anything. There aren't any numbers for the juniors or mpsc or any concert pieces anything like that. I think when the revue comes along, it will be very different than last year.

I'm in two one-act plays. They are fun and i'm excited to be in them.

I'm job hunting right now. I really need a job. I have no money and I need to pay for a lot this year.

I've been spending a lot of time with Maddy. She is so good to me and she is amazing. I'm excited for the dance this saturday and other things to come.


So, anyway, some good and bad things going on right now. Sometimes, I feel like the stress is too much. I'm reminded of one of my all time favorite songs, "Under Pressure".  It reminds me that times are hard but that's ok.

"Cause love's such an old fashioned word
and love dares you to care for those people on the
edge of the night and love dares you to change our way of
caring about ourselves"

The ones who stick around.

I love my friends. I'm so grateful for everyone in my life. I'm especially grateful for those that are still in my life. The ones who haven't changed. The ones that "stick around".

Thank You. I love you. :)

Shows Come and Go

So, last night was closing night of the musical. It was so much fun to be up on stage with my friends. I have learned so much from this musical. I have finally learned to love the class. I have learned to be happy even when things are hard. I didn't think it would be so hard to let go of the show. However, it's nice to know that I don't have to let go of my friends. They are always there for me.

As thanksgiving comes closer and closer, i'm starting to look at things i'm grateful for. I am so blessed to be where I am now. I have amazing friends and family. I'm so grateful  that I go to such an amazing school. I'm grateful that I was born in to the church. I'm grateful that I live in such a safe community. I'm grateful that I have such great friends. I'm grateful for my family. I'm grateful that I have someone always watching out for me. She's amazing...

Shows come and go....but people don't have to.

I will always remember...

This year has been so good to me. It keeps getting better and better. The musical opened last friday and has been so much fun. I am so proud of the entire cast, crew, and pit. I feel like we have created an amazing show. I love everyone in musical productions. They are my family. I am having so much fun sharing our amazing show with the people in the community.

I have loved being able to spend so much time with Maddy. It's been a great month and she has been so good to me. I can't stop smiling around her.

In this cold weather things get difficult...
...but I will always remember the great things that I have done with my musical productions family and my best friend in the world.

Cold

Soo.....Utah is cold now. It's weird how much the weather changes the way people act. The beginning and end of winter are the most difficult. However, right in the middle is Christmas season. You can't really be grumpy during the Christmas season. I'm so excited. With all the stress I have, there is something nice to look forward to.

It's also nice to have someone who is always looking out for me. I have never been so happy. Even with so many things that aren't going so well, Maddy is always there smiling. It's good to have someone pulling me through every week.

The cold weather isn't so bad this year.

Snow.....here it comes

So...it's been awhile. I need to stop being lazy all the time. I was doing really good for a long time. Anyway, here's a little update

Homecoming was the best date of my life. I got to go with the most amazing person I know. I got to be in a group of my best friends in the world. It was an absolutely perfect night.

The weather is getting colder. It's time for the long winter. Should be fun. I wonder if my car will survive another winter. It hardly lasted through the last one....however, I do have windshield wipers now.

The musical is so close right now. I don't feel prepared at all. I hope everything goes well.

The Halloween dance is this saturday.....I have never been so afraid to go to a dance. I know that she is a nice girl. It's just.....scary. I hope that it works out ok. I'm guessing that their will only be a couple of really awkard moments. I hope it's not too awkward.

Everything else has mostly been the same. I'm still having the best senior year ever.

Not-so-friendly reminder

This weekend, Davis played Layton......kinda. They didn't play so well. It was kinda a sad game. I really don't like Layton but it was sad to see them play so poorly.
After the game was over, Ashley, Emi, Maddy, and I decided to go to Orange Leaf. On the drive over, I got hit in the chest by my asthma. It was a huge suprise to me. I think the last time I really felt my asthma was early junior high. Even then, it was a really rare occasion. Anyway, I spent the rest of the weekend feeling weak and out of breath. It's not the best feeling in the world.
I hate asthma. I thought I was almost done with it but apparently my body isn't. Oh well. I can take it. I've had to deal with it my whole life. I'm not too worried about it.



bring it on.
