Life updated

     Oh my, sorry I haven't kept up with this blog, I'm going to try to do better now that school is out. Well I'll just recap everything that has happened since the last post. That 'misfit' I had with my friend, well it didn't really turn out the way I thought it would. She and I didn't talk for over a month and well things are better now, but it's still a work in progress.
     Okay so last time I mention how I was given the opportunity to be my old director's Assistant Director. Well, I accepted it, and loved it. I learned A TON! Since it was my first actual play that I was a part of, I really did learn a lot, and my cast taught me so much as well. I was very grateful, and still am very grateful that I was given that opportunity. I think it happened for a reason, it really helped me with my auditions for One Acts (I'll get to that soon). I had such an amazing cast and they really did what they could to make the show great. Which is exactly what they did. It turned out amazing. All my hard work, and their hard work definitely paid off. Even when one of the door knobs fell off one of their performing nights, they did a great job making it seem like it was scripted. We had people saying they thought it was in the play and it was their favorite part. Haha. It was amazing. So, I'm so proud of what they did and how it all turned out.
     Okay so about the One Acts. My school for their drama class, has the seniors each direct their own One Act for our little One Act Festival. I wasn't planing on trying out since I didn't take Drama this year, but I do want to take it next year. In fact, since I wanted to be with my friends I would have to skip a year of Drama. So, I asked the Drama teacher if I could skip Drama 2 and take Drama 3. He said for me to try out for the One Acts and then he would see. At this time I was doing my other show that I was directing and it really helped for my auditions. I had to sometimes play different characters when people couldn't make it to rehearsals, so I got a lot of practice. So anyways, I tried out and I was put into one of my most favorite people, Bonnie Stowell's One Act, 'An Angel's Pocket Watch.' My character was a teenage snob, Rachel. I loved it though. Haha. It was great acting like a snotty girl. I learned even more from One Acts then I did from being an Assistant Director. I had a blast with it too. Everybody in my One Act was great and I love them all to death! Really quickly I just want to say thanks to Megan, Billy, Brandon, Emily, Ryan, and of course my Director, Bonnie. You guys are the best and I love you all! Thanks for everything and for teaching me so much as well as being a great friend. I will miss you Billy, Brandon and Bonnie! You all really are amazing! Thanks. Okay...I'm done with that. Haha. Anyways, we did really good and I thought it turned out really good. I mean I think back still and yeah I'm proud of how it ended up, but of course there are still things I wish I could have done. But really, I'm happy with how it turned out and I couldn't have asked for a better One Act experience for my first one. We got in a three-way tie for Judge's Choice of Best One Act. I also, was able to skip Drama 2 and I will be able to take Drama 3. Yay! :D
     Last month near the beginning of May, my sister Heather went to the MTC for her mission. She was called to Richmond, Virginia. It's so exciting and I'm really happy for her. I really miss her, but I am really excited for her. She just left to Virginia this last Wednesday and arrived safe and sound. I can't wait to hear about how it is there and I hope she'll have loads of fun. Love ya Heather!
     So, this year has definitely been a huge roller coaster. It's had some really good moments, and some horrible ones. I've had a lot of fun, and I've had a lot of time where I was hurt. I've learned more about myself, things I can handle, people I can trust, people who mean more to me than I thought, how I can handle things, what I can do, what I can't. It's all been a huge life lesson this year. I have learned more about myself this year than I have any other year. I cannot believe some of the things I have gone through and held on. Really quick, I really want to say thank you to all my friends who have stuck by me this year. Especially Sydney, Halle, and of course Andrew. :) You all are amazing and have helped me more than you can ever imagine. You three have been there for me the most this year. Thank you. There are lots of other people who have helped me this year and I thank you all too. Especially Oquendo. You really have been a great help. Thank you guys. Thank you everybody who has stuck by me this year even though it's been a rough one. I love and care for you all. Thank you! Oh and I really quick want to thank you April for being a great example for me and for also giving me so many rides this year. You are seriously amazing! You really have set such a great example and I look up to you. Your strength is amazing and that's part of the reason why I've been able to hold on. Thank you to everybody I've mentioned, like I've said, you guys are amazing. Thank you to everybody I haven't mentioned too. I really have been blessed with great friends and I've been so grateful for it, especially this year. :D
     I've really have had the time of my life this year though. Looking back at everything, I really have had a lot of great times, even though I did have a lot of bad times. But you know, you got to be grateful for all the good moments in life. Life is what you make it, and you got to learn sometimes to just go with it. That's what I try to do. Live my life day by day, make the most of the happy moments, learn from the bad and just really have the time of my life. I can't wait to see what the summer brings me. Have an amazing day! Love you all! :D
