september update

It seems like a lot of stuff has happened since BEDA ended, and it seems like it's been forever since I really blogged.  As the title would say, this is a bit of an update of all the odds and ends that have happened since BEDA ended, initially just a rundown of everything that has happened in September thus far and what is happening the last week of the month that I may not get around to sharing for a while.

Side note, these probably aren't in order either, though like anyone would know except the ones who I go to school with.

PART 1

Unfortunately, I fell behind in Doctor Who. *cries* I'm like three weeks behind, which really sucks, because I found a lot of secret Whovians at my school who really want to discuss it with me, but I turn and walk away from them because I don't want any more of the plot spoiled than it already has from the interwebs...  And as much as I'd like to say I'd be caught up in the next week or so, that won't happen, because of what else I'm about to say.

PART 2

We finally know what musical we're putting on; Guys and Dolls. So that's a thing now.  Also, I'm no longer doing costumes, and I'll explain this within the week because it's too lengthy of a explanation to put in this post because you'll all get bored and hate me forever, so I'll just post it separately so you can skip the nonsense if wanted.

Since I'm still talking about GaD, I'll mention that Tuesday I auditioned, and then got a call back on Friday.  And then, late Friday night the casting list was posted.  I got cast in chorus....again.  My feelings on this are a bit weird, but I'm excited to be back performing and just being with a show in general.  It's not like I'm going to quit because of it, that's just redonkulous to even think.

Also, rehearsals are four times a week for three hours a night, so blogging time has been cut even shorter as is my free time for nearly everything else.  So if you see me missing on the interwebs, don't worry, I'm still alive, just sleeping, eating, rehearsing, homework and school.

PART 3

Beowulf.

PART 4

I've been working on my college admission application this week, and at first when I started it I was freaking out because I couldn't believe the time had finally come that I was filling out important papers that would affect the rest of my life.  Now, it's like a normal activity around here.  I've got probably five different lists on different things that all tie back into next year.

Also, we've (meaning my mom and I) have been figuring out graduation details since the company that the school goes through came on Thursday and are demanding a down payment of at least $60 by Tuesday for cap and gown and a whole bunch of other crap.  So that's a thing.

PART 5

Currently, our boys are 4-0 for the football season.  Which is really fantastic, because we've got a great team of boys playing this year.  This week is homecoming week, so that's a thing that you'll probably hear about sooner or later. Though, at this rate, probably later if at all.

PART 6

I went to get my back and neck adjusted today at my family doctor's office; and he's really into the intern/med student training stuff, so he nearly always has a med student around his office.  Well, I got stuck with another one today, and normally I hate getting stuck with them because with me, most of the time I have to go through my back story of medical problems, mainly those that are about my hip and ears. But I remembered today that med students have to start some where. And he was a third year, so it's not like he knew nothing at all.  Also, I remembered my friend Taylor who is studying bio at the University of Kansas.

He, the med student, I don't remember his name, was actually quite better than I expected.  He even poked fun at the fact that he's the stereotypical short Asian man when he had to go get a step stool from the other room so he could get more height when he popped my upper back.

BEDA 31: blog 'o' random stuff

Since today is the last day of BEDA, and I actually have several things to talk about; this post is coming in several parts. So get ready for some weird random moments where things might not make sense.

PART 1

This month has really stood out among the last three or four, for the good and for the bad. But either way, I wouldn't change anything, and I sure as hell don't regret a thing.

One of the things that I got out of this month, was I finally realized how much my family supports me.  Especially my mom.  Since we moved out on our own, we've had our fair share of spats, mostly over little things; mainly about whether or not I raised my voice at her, which I honestly try not to do, but sometimes it does happen.  This month however though we've still had several spats about little, almost not important things, my mom has really stood beside me and helped me with making decisions.  Sure she's riding my ass about a few things, reminding me about them every. single. day., but I know she's doing it out of love for me and wants to see me succeed.

PART 2

Along with PART 1, another thing that's happened this month, is obviously my blogging abilities.  I'm really happy that I decided to take part in BEDA, not only did it give me something to look forward to and something I basically made apart of my daily schedule it helped me a lot personally.  For example, I prefer to write my emotions out versus talk them out.  This is why I tend to e-mail frequently; I do this because my brain and my mouth don't usually connect completely and what I want to say never comes out like my brain planned it.  That aside, the main reason why I'm so happy I did BEDA, and stuck with it, was to document memories. I mean, as a favorite quote of mine reads: "Because memories fall apart, too. And then you're left with nothing, left not even with a ghost but with its shadow." (from Looking for Alaska by John Green)  I want something to look back on and remember the good times I had.

PART 3

This is why I've decided I will continue to post regularly, along with the fact that I really have come to learn that I enjoy blogging immensely.  I kind of have an idea on when I want to post, but I'm not entirely sure. It'll just have to depend on how things go. I'm sure though, that I'll post frequently during the weeks if interesting stuff happens.

PART 4

I had initially thought about making this the actual post for today until I realized while eating dinner that I had a lot of things to cover in today's post. But I had a complete nostalgic moment today during my civics.  I was mainly thinking about how I've changed through the years, especially in theatre.  Which reminded me about our long conversation between Levi, Mr. Mitchell and I about freshman year during Dracula when we ended up playing some of the creepy music we used and looking at a bunch of photos.  And then I just got to thinking in general about the random things I did with my friends over the years.  At one point, I thought I was going to cry because I realized exactly how much I'm going to miss Mulvane when I graduate.  I know though that my time has come/is coming to leave it all behind and start a new book in my series of my life; but that school holds so many good memories.

PART 5

Part five really isn't even important, mainly because I thought leaving it off at PART 4 would be weird, because I have this thing, that if it's below the number of five, it's not important. That was a weird explanation I know, but now this blog post is important, because there's 5 parts to it, not just 4.

Oh, I guess I could add in this random fact, but I haven't listened to Still Got Legs in nearly three days....it's weird....

Today was awesome because: I survived BEDA.
