constants

i hate to say it, but i realized today that one of the biggest constants in my life has been going to school. i get so excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but what does that mean? ...great i have a piece of paper that says i went to a higher institute of learning.

so then i got a little freaked out. one of my biggest constants is rapidly getting closer to going away. then what? do the variables take over and decided where I go next?

funny story

the film student should have fellow film student friends. i have three fellow film student friends, and that is because i work with them. number of new theater student friends? .... way more than that! haha.

welcome to school (and urinetown)

I've reached that part of the semester. I have only three real weeks of school left, so all of my projects that were assigned at the beginning of the semester are quickly becoming due! ...it's okay, i'll get them done--it's just that same time of the semester. (except this time, there will be no summer break....sigh....)

urinetown is actually become a lot of fun! it's fun to play lockstock, eventhough sometimes i miss just being the silly background character that i was before. meg and i were talking about this--some of my favorite memories of shows come from being a minor role in the background. my character development is just as important as the main characters! but i just have less lines to show that development. so much fun... but lockstock is a fun part to play as well! and hopefully the audience will walk away impressed by our cast and the show as a whole.

i have so much on my mind as of late. and really my thoughts are all over the place. me going to school in the summer is opening up the door to school being done sooner. for so long i've lived in comfort. comfort of a house i don't pay for, comfort of food i don't pay for, comfort of magic laundry that gets done if i don't get around to doing it. after the summer, i actually have the option of leaving all this comfort really for the first time in my life. yeah, i lived in logan on my own, but i still was surrounded by family, living in a relative's house, in a familiar city with people, etc. where will i go? what will i do? i haven't really figured that out yet. but for me that's part of the adventure. sweet.

which brings me to my major. i've been trying to figure out what the heck i'm going to do with my media arts major? i've been helping out neal a little with les miserables and i'm also currently in a show. wait wait wait...the film kid is doing more THEATER projects than film projects!? don't tell my film teachers that. i enjoy both and appreciate them for very different reasons. i just find myself always going back to what i know better which is being around the stage rather than the screen. a "media arts" major sounds cool. it makes me sound like i'm a really well rounded individual in all the arts involving media, or some junk like that. haha.

why we study

i got an f. economics is a swear word. 42/75. hooray for me! i didn't think i would need to do the optional extra credit for the class. but that 42 needs to be a 62.

lucky for me, it was just one section on economics--now we're back to real history: the civil war.

urinetown update

Dear Blog:

Today Meg called and told me that Joey had dropped the show. She offered the part of Lockstock to me.

Prepare for 2 and a half weeks of hardcore memorizing and character development.

Due: March 27th.

YIKES!!!





I am excited though.....

cleaning out my closet

with the help of my favorite musicians, of course.

the evolution of nick stone continues. i look in my closet and see things that i will never wear. time to fill yet another DI bag. michelle, eat your heart out.

maybe i should start documenting the things i do with pictures. maybe then would others find joy in my mundane life. word.

a late shout out

to my older brother jon. he turned 30 yesterday. i think it's safe to say he's getting older. i also think it's safe to say that he'll be okay with the late birthday shout out because of what i got him.

i also think that jon and my relationship gets better as we both get older. i always look to him for advice and as an example. plus, like michelle, much of my music likes and tastes stem from him. there are few artists that i can ever show him because he's already heard of them. and sometimes he wears stretchy pants--it's for fun.

love you jon. and props for the weight losing!

hug hug kiss kiss. big hug little kiss little kiss.

many thoughts

I get overwhemled with what to blog about because I'm constantly thinking about something.

today my thoughts are about finishing school. (as they usually are.) i've been going back and forth about making summer plans or just going to school. right now i'm back to the school thing. I figured out that if I go to school spring/summer the rest of my classes I could finish online. Which means I could go ANYWHERE for the Fall Term. I wouldn't be able to go anywhere until the end of September though because of Merry Wives, but still--this is a very nice thought!

i think that is all i have for today. life is interesting, and it seems with every passing day my life changes. i love it. and i love that I'm in a position where I can go anywhere and I can do anything. this excites me so.
