Hey guys! It's been awhile. I've been so involved with theatre and school that I haven't had much time to breathe. But I guess you could say I'm on a little bit of a break now, which is nice. I'm just extremely tired. The good news is that for the past few days, I've been able to come home and crash, catching up on some much needed sleep. I don't feel quite that awesome yet, but I'm getting there!
Not much has really been going on with me as of late, but I am trying to get myself back into the writing groove again. I've been pretty busy, so my thoughts have not been focused on pen against paper or fingers against computer keys, and I miss it a lot. It's funny how writing is the thing that I want to major in, and yet, it's been completely absent from my life for the past couple of months. I haven't gotten the time to sit down and let my words flow naturally from my mind, and honestly, even typing out this blog post is difficult for me. I feel like I'm out of practice, and I'm struggling to make this interesting and readable. But I guess there's only so much you can do when you're trying to get back into this kind of mindset.
I am currently on a Facebook hiatus right now, and if anyone remembers, I took a hiatus last year during my spring break just to see if I could do it. I figure it's healthy, getting away from it every now and then, but it's also proving to be difficult. Facebook is my way of communication with a lot of my friends, and I love how connected I feel when I'm on it. But at the same time, I feel like I should rather be hanging out with my friends instead of just chatting with them. I honestly believe that I become so involved with stuff up at school that I forget to enjoy the company of the people who are currently in my life. So I'm taking this time away from Facebook to connect with the people I've been promising to hang out with, but haven't. I want to feel like a human again, not some online person who people think doesn't exist outside of a computer.
I've also been working on getting my room clean as of late. It's been trashed for over a year, and I've spent most nights on the couch in the family room. But we're finally getting everything moved out of my bedroom, and we plan on painting it this week and next week. When I say we, I mean my mom and I. We're also going to get my carpet cleaned, and then we can start moving stuff back in. It'll probably take us a few weeks to get it all done, but progress is definitely being made.
I really don't have much else to say. I guess if you really want to know, we had a successful show week for Deathtrap, and I got to spend it with some great actors and technicians whom I love with all my heart and soul. I feel so at home in the theatre, and it's amazing how I've gotten this far since my first semester of college. It feels like forever ago, but I have so many fond memories, and I feel as though they happened yesterday. It's fun to look back and realize how much headway I've made, and although I can still be shy and awkward at times, I feel like I've really found my niche. I've opened up more as a person, and I've learned to smile a lot and to trust that the hard times will pass if I keep my head high and keep looking forward. I'm always hoping that my grandparents are looking down on me and smiling, and I hope they're proud of how much I've accomplished these past two years.
I hope this blog post was not one to disappoint, because I feel like it's pretty dull compared to past posts. But like I said, it's all about getting back into practice, and I know that once I start up again, I'll fall right back into the habit of skillful writing. It's just going to take some time for this girl to wake up and get moving mentally again. Bear with me. I'm trying.
