Morgan's College Experience

Finals Week

2009-12-03T01:08:00.002-07:00

Ok, I know it takes me forever and a day to write in my blog. But I just never remember... Ha! So it is currently 1 in the morning and I am waiting for this program to download so I can finish my assignments. Gotta love staying up til all hours of the morning. God bless caffeine.
Well it is telling me I can't download. Gotta switch comps.
Wish me luck! I am gonna try real hard not to fail.
Love ya!

First Week of Sophomore Year!

2009-09-03T09:38:00.002-07:00

Ok, so I know it has been months since I have written in this last...but ya love me anyway!
Summer was so much fun, extremely busy, but lots of fun.
First week of school is over! Yay! Only a million more to go... :( I got a job through the school. About 5 hours a week, not much I know, but I figure it is a good first step. Classes are going well, I am doing really well about staying on top of homework. I have study sessions with friends who are in the same classes so we get it done the day it is assigned. I am taking 10 classes, but I am looking into dropping one. Gotta pull back a bit I think.
My goal is to not audition for anything for this first semester so I can try and get another job on the weekends to try and save up for a hopefully little addition to my life! A puppy! Athena finally went into heat after about a year and we are breeding her starting tomorrow! So everyone please keep your fingers crossed! I need this little person, I can't explain it, other than I have the strong need to take care of something and be able to love something. I want a girl puppy, preferably a black puppy, but I won't be picky! I have already picked the name regardless of color, Ebony, (though if she's black it will fit a bit better.)
Last weekend my roommate Laura and I went to St.George and stayed Friday night at Grandma and Grandpa's. We went swimming twice, then Saturday we went to Sand Hollow and tooled around on the boat. That was lots of fun. There is this crazy place to go cliff diving and it is high! Probably 4 or 5 feet higher than the tallest spot we jumped at in Lake Powell. And I did it! Very scary! Laura and I both tubed and water skied, and yes we both got up! Laura also wake boarded and got up. We were goth extremely sore the next day!
The house is amazing....and old. We had some troubles with it the first week, but all is fixed and we all love living there! Our backyard is ginormous and overgrown with the craziest weeds and bushes. We have a fireplace which we plan on using during the winter but it is way too hot to even fathom any source of heat.
Well, I have classes so I will try to update you all later!
Love ya!

Blood and Gore

2009-03-03T21:34:00.002-07:00

So we had a blood and gore day in makeup class. It was really hard. Especialy the vampire bites. But the picture on the left is my black eye. I walked around campus to get some experience about how people would react and it is really interesting. People don't care about helping others anymore. Most would stare at me until I made eye contact with them, then they would just look away really fast. The one in the middle is a picture of my vampire bite. The putty was really hard to work with so it doesn't look very real...but I am sure with more practice I could do some pretty killer makeup! The one on the right is the scar from a "bite" my brother had given me when we were really young. Instead of a scar on my arm, I now have a bit of a rash. That scar stuff was fun to work with, but it kinda hurt...

I didn't do a road rash wound, a wound with something sticking in it (like someone stabbing me in the head with a pencil...), or a burn. But all the people who did do burns looked sick. So if anyone is willing to let me practice on them... *cough* Dad, Atty, Tara *cough* we could have some really cool Halloween makeup!

The plays all went really well. I am really glad to have Secrets over. It was really time-consuming and there was a lot of drama in it. The Vagina Monologues were amazing! I am thinking of organizing an 0n-school interview of women in Utah at SUU.

Anyway, I have to go and get back to homework! Love you all!

Oh no! Middle Age!

2009-02-14T23:26:00.003-07:00

Oh dear. And this is me with my Middle Age makeup. We had to do research, and I am sorry to say mom and dad that meant pictures of you guys. I don't think I'll look quite like this when I am forty because you guys don't look this bad but oh well. I passed. So I guess that is all that matters. So this is middle age. 40-55 years of age. For some reason doing this really freaked me out! I mean, I am almost half way there! I know that when I do old age makeup, which I think is like 56-Death it won't freak me out so much because I have a ways. Well everyone laugh it up! And just remember that it is only makeup! Love ya guys!

2009-01-29T11:42:00.003-07:00

So I had makeup class today and we did Glamour Makeup. I tried doing the smokey eyes and the deep red lips and I think it turned out ok. I am going to try something a little more extreme for the actual grading day. I am thinking maybe darker eyes and to extend the black out a little bit more. What do you guys think? Runway material yet?! Ha!

Makeup Day

2009-01-20T22:44:00.003-07:00

So in my makeup class today we did correctice makeup and it was pretty much the coolest thing in the world. I pretty much went from looking like a nasty, zitty teenager, (I have an excuse...it's that time of the month!) to a really pale glamour girl. It was pretty freakin' sweet. I have to do it again tomorrow and on Thursday for the actual grade. Pretty exciting I know. The only sucky thing is I am getting a pretty bad rash on my face, so makeup class might end up being painful. But there is a very short, picture-loaded update of my life in a nutshell. Love ya all!

Crazy Week!

2009-01-18T15:56:00.002-07:00

Hello Everyone!

It has been another crazy week at school. My make-up class is so much fun! We are learning to do corrective makeup and it is pretty interesting to see what people classify as "beauty." Someone went a little crazy in making up those rules...but whatever.

So my English teacher is a little weird. Very open and out-spoken. We are working on personal essays right now. And he told us our final paper was 50 pages long! How scary is that!?

Jazz class is probably one of the hardest but most rewarding classes I've taken so far. It is totally whipping my butt into shape! Plus it is really nice to be able to really learn how to dance instead of fake it like I do in my musicals.

I have to read Much Ado About Nothing and write a report on it...not very excited for that one...not excited at all. But I think I'll be ok.

Grandpa and Grandma C came down last week and bought a whole bunch of groceries for me. Thank you again! :( Friday I went and bought books...they cost me 400$. It hurt...a lot.

Anyway, I am off to go memorize lines and do some homework. Yay

First Week Of School

2009-01-08T22:42:00.002-07:00

So my first week back is coming to an end and boy am I happy about that! I have had rehearsel almost every night, which I enjoy, but I miss seeing my roomies.

So, I think my two favorite classes are my Jazz Dance class and my Yoga class. Look out New Year's Resolutions, I am going to kick your butt! Speaking of kicking my butt...but jazz class sure did. At the end of the class I was sweating like a pig, sore as all get out, AND I was ready to eat my whole stash of food. Hmm...I just realized that I will be eating so much more now...sad. We <3 Top Raman!

I got out of rehearsel about and hour ago and I am exhausted. I am going to go take a showed then hit the sac. Love you all!

Blood Donation

2009-01-06T22:04:00.003-07:00

So I tried uploading a picture of my arm today after my blood donation...I am not sure if it worked. So I went in today to get my blood donated. Which may not have been a good idea because the last time that I donated I almost passed out...(but no one needs to know right?) So anyway, I go in and give them my card and we get through the whole questionaire process and I get in the chair and the labotomist comes over and starts prepping my arm. She rubs it with iodine and get the needle out. No big deal. Puts the needle in...again no big deal. That little pinchy kind of feeling, but I find the whole blood drawing process kinda cool...weird I know. Well she missed the vein, I guess my vein moved when she put the needle in. So she tries again to get the vein but I guess it keeps moving...so she tries yet again... Yay. Still couldn't get it in and though it wasn't like extremely painful, but pinching in my arm was becoming very unpleasant and it did kinda hurt, so I started kinda freaking out. Nothing visible of course. I just kept taking deep breaths and everything was ok! The nurse called the Head Nurse over and she was able to get the needle in no problem! Only there was a problem...every time I squeezed the ball thingy to get my blood flowing it freakin' killed! She came over and I guess my blood flow was really slowing down, the bag wasn't filling up very quickly. When she mentioned that it wasn't she asked me if I was still squeezing the ball. I told her no because it really hurt every time I did. She said I should have told her and that I was silly! Apparently the sharp part of the needle was resting up against the vein wall and every time I squeezed the ball the point pushed into the lining and hurt! She said she would just rotate the needle and it KILLED! I told her it hurt way more so she rotated it the other way and it felt so much better! Finally after close to 10 minutes I finally was done donating my blood. She pulled the needle out, looked at my arm, apologized profusely, and said I was going to have a pretty gnarly looking bruise. :) So that is my cool story for today! Yes, my arm really hurts, and the bruise is way cool looking, and I can't lift or bend my arm, but the good side to this story is that I didn't come close to passing out!
I could totally handle being a vampire! :D

School Tomorrow!

2009-01-04T21:51:00.002-07:00

School tomorrow! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok...so not that scary. It is nice to be back in Cedar...not going to lie. I had the threat of a roommate moving into my room, but one of my other roommates moved out...so disaster averted. Her name is Jessica. She seems very nice. I like her already...I just don't want her in my room. :D

So I have tried putting a few pictures on this thing...but it hasn't worked...Tara, I may need some help with that. :)

Anyway, I am going to go to bed. I know it is before midnight! It's a miracle! :D

Happy New Years!

2009-01-02T16:51:00.002-07:00

Hey Everyone!

Happy New Years!!!

I hope everyone had a fun time! I sure did! I ended up staying up until about 6:30. :) It was awesome! There were about 15 of us and all we did was eat lots of food and played lots of card games. At midnight we couldn't watch the ball drop which kinda made me sad, but we did some salutes and toasted the New Year with some tasty sparkling cider. :D

My last day at Toys R Us was uneventful, but I loved getting my check! It was so nice to make some money! Woohoo!

So what is everyone's New Year's Resolutions? These are mine:

1) To get A's in all of my classes this next semester. I only have 15 credits this time instead of 18 so I am hoping to do better than I did last semester. :)

2) To be able to do the splits all 3 ways. I have one down...but it's been awhile since I've danced and I am not so sure it would feel so good to do the splits...

3) I really have always wanted to learn sign language, and my school offers it. Hopefully next fall I'll be able to sign away!

4) Get a job down at Cedar! I am going to need everyone to keep their fingers crossed for that one please!

5) And last but not least I really want to get through the Book Of Mormon through all the way. I have Nephi down pat because I've started over so many times... Feeling kinda guilty about that one... Oops.

Well I hope everyone had a really nice New Years! I am heading back down to Cedar and I am kinda sad. I really do love Salt Lake. But I am very excited for this next semester!

Love you all so much!

Happy Holidays!

2008-12-30T19:24:00.002-07:00

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas! It was so nice to be up in Logan and spending time with the fam. The dinner Grandma made was absolutely fabulous! You can't go wrong with those rolls and potatoes. And let's not forget that tasty scrumdiddlyumptious punkin pie! Mmmm-mm.
Everyone was very kind this year! I got some cash and a few sweaters. Both things that I need for Cedar. It is hard to think that I start school this up-coming Monday!
Don't anyone forget that I made Oz! :P
So these are my classes next semester:
Jazz Dance (Very excited!!!)
Yoga (Feel the calm)
English (...need I say anything?...)
Theatre History
Voice and Diction (I will speaketh most wonderfully and with much diligence... HA!)
Singing Lessons (La-la-la-laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)
And last but not least Stage Makeup (Who wants to be my test dummy? :D )

Well I am very excited for New Years! I plan on spending it with my friend Richelle's family because Ellen's plan include going to bed at 10... Kinda sad... I hope everyone else has lots of fun! Don't forget to make your New Year's Resoulutions!

Anyway! I love you all lots and lots! Happy Holidays!

P.S. No offense Athena...but Baby is pretty freakin' adorable. I am going to need a pug and a little weiner dog!

Sorry It's Talking Me So Long

2008-12-18T22:41:00.001-07:00

Hey Everybody!

After much time I finally remembered about my blog. :) I got a job everyone! I work at Toys R Us in Salt Lake for the holidays. Big relief to finally be making some $$$. I hope everyone is well. I don't have much time to write, but I just wanted to drop a line.

Love ya all!

Happy Holidays!

Howdy!

2008-11-12T12:29:00.003-07:00

I"M SICK OF BEING TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that that was said I can move on. :) I know there are lots of versions of Wizard Of Oz. The only reason we are doing this musical right now is because it is the reunion of when Judy Garland's Wizard of Oz came out.

Ha! Next year we are doing Cats!. Which I am not quite sure how to feel about....
But it is a major dance production so I definitely plan on auditioning.

I am so excited to see everyone for Thanksgiving and Christmas! My finals end the second week of December then I'll be on my way up! I don't need to be back until the end of the first week of January! Woohoo!

So people have been asking me what I want for my birthday...
Aside from $$$....I could really use $$$. :D Don't ya just love me? I have a job now though! ...Ironically I don't start until I come back from winter break...

Well gotta go. Love you all!

Sorry!

2008-11-07T17:02:00.002-07:00

Wow everyone, it has been awhile. Sorry about that.

Let's see, the quick update on my life. I made the musical The Wizard Of Oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited! I was cast again in the dance ensemble which I am very excited for.

Finals are the first two weeks of December! Kinda scary...

It is nice not being sick anymore. Still really tired. Guess my body is just trying to catch up.
I can't wait to see those who are coming down for Thanksgiving!

I love you all so much!

Kanarraville Falls

2008-09-30T11:53:00.002-07:00

So I went to this way cool hike last Saturday. It is in Kanarraville which is about 20 miles south of Cedar City. You hike up this dirt road for about a half a mile then you hit a dirt trail. You follow this for about another half mile till you hit this creek. It is so cool! You hike through the creek up these water falls. You can go on as long as you'd like, but we went up about 4 miles. One water fall is like a natural slide and you can slide down into this pool. It was pretty cool. Definitely another place I would love to take anyone who wants some way cool out door adventures!

This weekend is Conference which I am excited for, but it is also the Shakespeare Competition. It's what I did in high school. All the high schools from Utah who would like to participate come to SUU to do the competition. I am required to put in three hours, but I am way excited to see some of my old East High friends!

Life is pretty good. I am getting more sleep which is nice! :) I love you all!
P.S. Look up kanarraville falls, the sights are amazing!

School Is Crazy!

2008-09-24T11:02:00.003-07:00

So I have a math test tomorrow that I plan on studying 4 hours tonight for. :( Blah! And I have my Hamlet scene that is due Monday that I have a 4 hour rehearsal for tomorrow night! :( Blah! I have a 3 hour budgeting assignment due Monday! :( Blah! I have a test Monday for my crew class that is going to be much harder than expected! :( Blah!

The good news is that I am not worried I won't do well in anything I just listed. :) I also was made a visiting teacher and I am going on another amazing hike this weekend! We will have to hike through a creek a couple of miles up to these water falls. One of the water falls you can slide down and I am very excited about it! :)

I still need recipes please! :)

Life is good. I am finally starting to get into a sleeping pattern and that is nice. :) I NEED A JOB!!! Holy cow is it a college town! I am applying to Denny's. Lol I am hoping to be a server. Why not? Wish me luck!

Hallelujah!

2008-09-23T08:23:00.001-07:00

I went to bed before 12 last night!
Can I get a Hellelujah!

The Weekend!

2008-09-22T11:02:00.002-07:00

I had a really great time over the weekend! Friday night was my friends Birthday party. She is a roommate of mine, her name is Roxi, and she turned 22. We had pizza and watched some movies and played Volleyball.
Throughout the weekend I had to go to my Hamlet group thingy and that was definitely stressful but I am glad we have all our blocking done! Makes memorizing and such much easier. We put on our small version of Hamlet this Friday. :)
It was really fun playing WOW with dad. It was nice to know that I had all my homework done, and I even cleaned my room, and I still was able to just relax and have some fun with Dad.
I unfortunately had another sleepless night last night. New record...I didn't get to bed until close to 4. :*( But I am in good spirits today, and I am so tired, I am sure with some help from the melatonin I will be going to bed fairly early tonight. Which is a cause for celebration! :)
I love you all!

Tongue Twister

2008-09-18T23:18:00.005-07:00

(GOOD LUCK! :)

Grip Top Sock

Give me the gift of a grip top sock
A dip drape, ship shape, tip top sock
Not your spiv-slick, slapstick, slip-slop, stock
But a plastic, elastic, grip top sock
None of your fantastic slack-swap slop
From a slapdash, fast cash, haberdash shop
Not a knick-knack, knit-lock, knock-kneed, knickerbocker sock
With a mock-shot, blob-mottled, trick tick-tocker clock
(beat)
Not a super-sheer, seer-sucker, pooka sack, smock sock
(beat)
Not a spot speckled, frog freckled, cheap skate sock
Off a hodge-podge, moss blotched, botched scotch block
Nothing slip-slop, flip-flop, drip-drop, or clip-clop
Tip me to a tip-top, grip top sock!

Another Week Of School

2008-09-18T23:18:00.002-07:00

It has been yet another week of school and still no job. I fear if I hear nothing back from any jobs I have applied to I will be applying to fast food jobs...which I was really hoping to avoid. Oh well. :*(

It is once again past midnight and no sleep for me. :( I am starting to take a mult-vitamin to see if that helps me out. The school has a medical center with a few doctors that is paid for by the tuition we pay. I will go and visit the place soon if I cannot find a good sleeping pattern soon.

Life is good though. I am becoming better friends with my roommate Laura day by day, and better friends with my theatre friend Alisha. I had quite the interesting assignment in my Acting class that was assigned a few days ago, Monday I think. We were split into groups of five and our assignment (due next Friday) is to condense all of Hamlet into 10 minutes and put on the play. My group divied each of the five acts to condense and I was given Act III which was 102 pages long. I am very proud to say I condensed it to 7...(which was still too long.)
He also gave us another assignment to memorize this tongue-twister. I will create a seperate blog listing it, you all should read it out loud and tell me how you do. ;)

Mammoth Cave

2008-09-15T11:01:00.002-07:00

So Saturday some friends and I went to Mammoth Cave and crawled around in these super cool lava tubes. It was so much fun! I don't think I have ever been dirtier. It looked like we had been mud wrestling. It was so cool! And we were even chased around by a bat! There was one part in the cave that was only about a foot and a half tall so we had to do some army crawling, even some hands and knee crawling. So my arms and legs are kinda bruised. But it was totally worth it.
So when you guys come to visit we will have something to do. :) Bring something that has 4-wheel drive...!

Yet Another Sleepless Night

2008-09-13T00:25:00.002-07:00

So ya'll didn't give me very many tips to a good night's rest. It is 1:26 and I am once again wide awake. :( I wish I could get a decent night of sleep.

So I thought I would talk about my plans for tomorrow. A group of friend and I are going to a place called Mammoth Cave. It is one of the largest lava caves in Utah. I can't remember how long they said it was, but I think it was close to 2,000 ft, and you have to climb through a hole to get out! How cool is that! I am way excited to go. I think that some real physical exersize might help me sleep tomorrow! (keep your fingers crossed)

I want to give a shout out to Grandpa C! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I love you guys!

Friday Night

2008-09-12T13:48:00.003-07:00

So I have some pretty fantastic plans this great Friday night!

I am going over to a friends house for dinner, and then I get to play WOW with my dad! It will be nice and relaxed and I am very excited to just chill out and do something fun.

I actually ventured forth two day ago and made myself some gourmet chili! Boss showed me how to make it before I left, but as you all know, I am very apprehensive about cooking... My friend Alisha (who is inviting me to dinner tonight) was my guest and she said I made some pretty fantastic chili! I was so excited. I also made these way good potatoes too! I am becoming domestic...(scary!) When I get up to see you guys in Logan I will have to make a meal one night from all the favs I have figured out down here. :P

Tired, tired, tired...

2008-09-11T10:08:00.000-07:00

So I haven't been getting much sleep lately. I am not sure why. I haven't fallen asleep before 1 these past few nights and it is starting to take its toll. I have been pretty active and I am eating well, so does anyone have any tips (aside from drugs) on how to get a good night's sleep? Cause I need it badly!

I had to perform a lip sync yesterday for my acting class. I really enjoyed doing it, but my teacher said I wasn't quite "in." (really hard to explain...)

I have my singing lessons today. I am very excited. I really like my teacher. She will really help me along, that I am sure of. :)

I went to Swing Dance Club last night. Would have been fun except I was never asked to dance. :( I was there for an hour without dancing and finally decided that I had better things to do with my time. It was very sad.

Blood Donation

2008-09-09T22:10:00.000-07:00

So I find that even though it is 11:11 (make a wish!) at night, and though I am exhausted, for some reason I can't fall asleep...and that may be due to the fact that it is 400 degrees in my apt.

I donated blood today. First time. It was a pretty cool experience. I get to know my blood type which I hear is a good thing to know. But even more important is the fact that I helped someone. The woman who was drawing my blood said that 1 pint (which is what each person donates) could save up to 3 lives. How amazing is that? I get a warm fuzzy feeling about it and, I don't know, it just makes me happy.

I also fixed my mirror today that was smashed off. Lol thank goodness for super glue and electrical tape. I am pretty proud of myself may I add. And yes, it is staying put...so far. :)

I also was paid from my old job, Jamba. It was my last check from them and it was about $90. It was so nice to stock up on groceries and fill up my tank. I get to eat food! :P Just kidding, I promise I was eating before.
Hopefully the job front pans out soon. I keep praying about it. I have applied to about 15 different places. I just keep turning in applications and trust that God knows what he is doing.
I love you all! I hope that you all are doing what I am not right now...SLEEPING! :)

Thank You!

2008-09-09T10:14:00.001-07:00

Thank you so much Eryn and Grandma C! I loved getting your letters. I received them yesterday and they made my day. I really appreciate it.

Thank you again Tara and Atty for the package and letters. Mmm, everyone loved those magic bars!

So I have been thinking...anyone who reads this...any recipes for good tastey food you have in mind that a college student can make? I know you all understand funds are limited, but if it is something I can make that has lots of leftovers I can eat it all week! I need variety people! :) I am tired of Top Raman, Mac n' Cheese, and frozen pizzas! Pluse, a good harty recipe would be nice for when we have Roomie Dinner. We all pitch in a food item and create a big meal. So if you have anything in mind, please post it on the blog!

Life is good. Crazy for sure! Homework is insane! I have applied and applied to jobs. It is definitely a college town! I think I may get a job at a daycare. It is open 24 hours and they are looking to hire SUU students. I definitely wouldn't mind taking the night shift, because I could take homework and when I am done I could sleep. Getting paid to sleep...doesn't sound too bad to me!

I love you all! Thank you again for all your love and support. It has definitely made the transition easier.

Craziness!

2008-09-04T15:35:00.000-07:00

So I have applied to like 50 different jobs (ok maybe not exactly 50, but quite a bit!) Keep you fingers crossed that I get hired!
I did about 30 minutes worth of squats yesterday in my acting class. I am now crippled. My thighs have never felt a deeper pain!
I missed my Swing Club last night. It is a club to learn swing dance. I am so excited! I will be able to show you all some super sweet moves when I come up to visit.
I have my first math test tomorrow and I am feeling pretty confident about it. But as we all know, math is not the Callaway's strongest suit so I am going to have to study a bit tonight. I also have to try and read the entirety of Hamlet tonight...(yeah right!) She assigned it to us yesterday. Love my teacher to death but she's just a bit crazy sometimes.

Alisha and I are going to do something crazy tonight that doesn't involve moving...We'll see how that goes.

Love you all!

First Date

2008-09-02T08:16:00.000-07:00

So I went on a date yesterday. The guy took me on a hike, it was really super pretty. We went to see Dark Knight after that then we went to the Pizza Factory. It was quite a bit of fun! The guy was a perfect gentlemen. Opened the door for me and everything. I had a really great time! :)

Church

2008-08-31T17:47:00.000-07:00

So it has been a crazy weekend. Poor Daren's father passed away yesterday. I found that out today. So if anyone who reads this, remember to keep his family in your prayers.

I went to church today. It was hard because I have church at 9 and didn't go to bed until 3. I just couldn't sleep. But that's ok. I really liked church. I was almost late for church because I woke up and had found that people had wrote some illicit things on my car...didn't feel appropriate to drive to church with that so i asked some of my neighbors for a ride.

Friday I auditioned for "Musical of Musicals" it is a five act play (each act is about twenty minutes) where they make fun of a different composer. I didn't even make call backs, but I loved the audition experience and had a great time anyway. Alisha, who auditioned on a whim, made call backs, and it was her first call back experience! So I was very happy for her.

Tomorrow I plan on getting out a bit. Cedar is a great outdoors city. I plan on going on a hike. :) I love you all! Happy Labor Day Weekend!

First Dance

2008-08-27T21:28:00.000-07:00

So I woke up this morning to find that some basketball players last night must have lost control of the ball and smashed off my side mirror on the drivers side. :( Very sad. It is not completely off...but pretty close. I was pretty upset about if for a few minutes but I decided that I shouldn't let it ruin my day...and I was glad I didn't!

I had my first Institute class today and I really enjoyed it. The teacher is a bit of a character which I think will make learning it a bit easier.

I am required to audition for the The Magic Flute tomorrow...interesting because it is an opera...but we'll see how that one goes...

There was a huge dinner and then a dance at the Institute building. Food was great! (Homemade root beer is really good!) And I was even asked to dance once! The guys name is Dave, very nice, and very skinny. Reminds me of Tara. Just that very small build. I felt like I was going to break the guy!

I am frantically trying to find a job. I am going to keep praying for that one!
Keep your fingers crossed everyone!

Made a Friend!

So it was my second day today and I did lots and lots!

Thank you to the respective grandparents who donated money to the Morgan College Fund! It is greatly appreciated!

I had math again this morning and oddly enough we wrote music...(beats doing math if you ask me...).I have an hour break between that class and my University class so I got the mail address change form so mail actually comes to me and not Ellen's house. University class was interesting...I am not sure how much I will like it, but we will see. Now on Tuesdays and Thursdays these are the only classes I have. :) Which is super nice. I do have to sign up for a Lab time for my Stage Crew class which is a 3 hour lab one day a week. But I like doing Stage Crew so I am not too worried about that. :)

A girl came up to me today and asked if I had been in Pippin! I thought that was pretty freakin' cool!

I met this girl named Alisha in my Stage Crew class today. She is 20 and she is so much fun to be around. A theatre girl like me! And she is LDS which is nice, because LDS people are hard to find in the theatre world. We went over to her apartment and she made us turkey sandwiches and we talked for a few hours. I prayed yesterday that I would meet a friend soon. How amazing that prayer was answered so quickly!

I went to the Institute Building today and signed up for a Book Of Mormon class. I have it every Monday and Wednesday at 1. I am very excited for this class!Tomorrow is going to be a pretty big day because the Institute peeps are getting together and throwing a huge BBQ and a dance afterwards. I am very excited to go. :)

Well I am off to go write in my weekly journal and catch up on Romeo and Juliet!

First Day Of School

2008-08-25T21:51:00.000-07:00

So it was my first day of school.
Math was actually fun, I really like the teacher. I am sure it won't be too much fun when we actually start getting into math, but I think it will be ok.
Acting was my favorite class and I absolutely love the teacher! I think this will be my get all stress out class. There is this guy named Trevor in this class. Blue eyes, brown hair, VERY cute! And...wait for it!!!...He speaks Italian! How freakin' sexy is that! :) Love you dad.
Stage Craft I think will be fun when we get out of the History. I want to get into the now! But I have the Lab that goes along with the class tomorrow which I have no doubts will be much funner!
My last class of the day is Script Analysis. I love the teacher in that class as well. Very sarcastic. :) Kinda homework crazy! She assigned us to read all of Romeo and Juliet by this Wednesday! She's crazy!

I applied for a job inside the Theatre Department today. I realized I don't quite have all the funds to cover school yet, but with my car check coming soon I should be set. :) I am hoping for this job though because I will be ushering for the Shakespeare plays. More theatre experience which I am all for!

My audition for the BFA program is tomorrow! I am quite nervous, but I am more excited than anything else. Keep me in your prayers!

I am getting rather homesick... :( So if anyone who reads this feels the need to call me any time please do. Plus any letters would be a great pick-me-up for day if you have time to write any. I know email is faster and a cell phone even more so, but a letter would mean so much more to me. In case you guys don't know my address it is: 1480 W. Center St. Apt. # 36 Cedar City, UT 84720.

I miss you guys! I love you all! Keep your fingers crossed about tomorrow!

First Day In The Apartment

2008-08-24T21:14:00.000-07:00

So I finally have all my stuff in my room. My computer set up with Internet. I have met all my roommates. Roxi, Alyssa, Cassidi, and Laura. I like Alyssa the most so far. She is one of the only girls who goes to church and she offered if I wanted to go to Ward Prayer tonight, but unfortunately with everything I have to do I had to decline. But we are going to FHE tomorrow together which I am rather excited for. :)
My first class tomorrow is Math at 8. Then I have Acting at 9, Stage Crew at 10, and Script Analysis at 11.
My audition to get into the BFA program is Tuesday. I have to hand a portfolio of various and sundry things, prepare 2 monologues, 2 songs, and they are teaching us a dance.
It is interesting, having my own room in my own place, (well I know I am sharing it with 4 others, but it feels like my own place.) We all have our own stuff labeled. I don't like it. I wish everyone felt like they could be friendlier. Oh well. In time I suppose. :)
Well I am going to go finish organizing.

The Day Before the Move!

2008-08-23T16:13:00.000-07:00

So it is the day before I move down to Cedar City and I have to say I have quite the mixed feelings. Not only is it my last day of the play I have been in, (which I am sad to see come to an end), but a lot has been going through my mind. I keep playing the "Is this the last time I do this" card. I am going to miss everyone so much. Thank you all for your help in everything.
But all in all, don't get me wrong...I am thrilled to be getting out on my own! Get ready college cause here I come!
