Day 45: To a Fault

Day 45 (2/3/11)

After an incredibly rough week in the lovely domain of K6, my roommates finally (kinda) confronted me about the fact that my depression is well on its way to taking over my life again for the first time in five years.

So that kinda hurt. And it was kinda relieving to know that they noticed and that they care.

Time to get back on track.

- Two great supportive families at Bethel

Day 44: My First Cut

Day 44 (2/2/11)

This semester will all be about pushing my personal goals and limits...I can already tell. APparently, unbeknownst to myself until today, I am afraid of saws. Who knew? Not I.

But, with the encouragement of my friends, I stood up in from of the class and for the first time ever, used a radial arm saw to cut a piece of wood. As shaken up as I was, I learned that at least on a very small scale I can push myself to do whatever is asked of me.

- One fantastic theatre department that I love with my whole heart

- Ten frightening seconds of operating a piece of equipment that could kill me

- Three great friends and one small pair of overalls that make me smile

Day 43: Willie and Me

Day 43 (2/1/11)

SO. Yeah. Tuesdays and Thursdays. I only have two classes, four hours apart... but both are Shakespeare. One is lit and the other is performance.

It was a long day, beginning at 8:30 a.m. But so begins my twice-a-week love affair with Willie.

Day 43:

- One late night trip to McDonald's

- One scary exhausting afternoon

- One awkward line-running encounter

Day 42: Almost Half Gone

Day 42 (1/31/11)

Here we go again! It is the first day of second semester of my second year... which means my time as an undergraduate is almost half gone. And that is just a strange feeling. I am halfway to being out in this world with nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I will say that I am extraordinarily glad to be back doing theatre. It is such a great feeling to be back doing what I love and what makes me feel like I am making a difference in this world.

Day 42:

- One belated birthday stuffed Ponyo

- Two excellent classes with lots of people I love

- One extremely short speech team meeting

Day 41: Return to Me

Day 41 (1/30/11)

Everyone comes home!

It was great to have a mjority of the weekend to do as I pleased. But regardless of how much I need that time, it is still great to see the five of us - truly sisters - all back together again after having one study abroad and the rest of us constantly bustling through the day.

Also, a very happy 23rd birthday to my amazing friend, KH, who graduated last year. It was fabulous to attend your part and spend the evening surrounded by wonderful theatre people - I even made a new friend!

Day 41:

- One face reappearing after being gone for six weeks

- One new friend

- Two rounds of the fantastic game, Empires!
