college audition on saturday!

Hello all,

I'm soo excited I have my first college audition this Saturday! It's for one of my top choice schools too! It's for a school right outside of cleaveland ohio called Baldwin-Wallace. I am auditioning for their music conservatory to be in musical theatre! So I have been preping since like august!

I also have two other auditions this month. One is for Emerson in Boston, and the other is for SUNY(state university of new york) Fredonia. I already know I am in the school Suny Fredonia, but I do not yet know if I am in the music program so I'm not as nervous for this audition as the others.

In february I also have auditions. I can't remember if there are three or four though.

Well wish me luck!

Christmas...

So my trip overall wasn't horrible... well except for christmas eve. my grandmother misplaced her wedding rings and was having a fit with everyone, shouting, accusing her cleaning ladies, threatening said cleaning ladies to call the police... ugh! I was soo mad at her and my aunt for ruining the day that I didn't want to give them their christmas presents I made!

Christmas day was much much better. Let's see if I can remember most of what I got... 2 jewelry books, jewelry supplies, a knit/crochet book, both knit and crochet pattern a day calendars, like 3 sweaters, 3 pairs of pjs, a pair of wicked warm leggings from victoria's secret, plus a shirt from there, starbucks giftcard, 2 barnes and noble giftcards, a joann gift card, umm... I think thats about it but everyone way overdid themselves! I was soo happy!

However, I'm thrilled to be home now. I missed it.

Break needs to come sooner

So I only have 3 more days of schoo(thank god!), but I've been so overwhelmed with soo many things mainly hw and my mom stressing out all the time, and its driving me crazy! I wish I just had this whole week off! Also, I'm not too excited about Christmas because we travel to DC area. My mom's family always finds some way to complain about something and this year will be the first Christmas without my grandfather so I just know my grandmother is going to be a wreck. I mean I don't blame her, its just I've been under so much stress with senior year I'm not sure I'll be able to handle it myself.

Next we go to my dad's family. I'm especially not excited about this. I think it was about a year ago. My dad has twin uncles, and I can't even remember what they fought about, but one nearly tried to kill the other with a golf club. And since then they haven't been speaking. Not only that, but there is also drama with one of my second cousins like marrying a pretty close family member like her cousin, now she's pregnant, and is leaving him thinking that she's going to marry her aunts brother. It is soo messed up. I can't believe I'm related to these people. My poor dad having to hear about all of this.

So that really complicates things. Every year my dad's uncle Vince has a Christmas party on Christmas night, and its usually really fun. Only there has been soo much drama half of my extended family wont be there and are having their own party the next day. I'm excited to see all of them, I just wish they could get over themselves and be able to come together for Christmas. I mean its only one day!!! Anyway, this should be and interesting and most likely drama filled Christmas. At least my dad's immediate family is sane!

So I wish all of you a happy holiday! It doesn't matter what holiday you celebrate. For everyone who just celebrated Hannukuh(sp?) hope it was great! And for everyone who like me celebrates Christmas, I hope its a nice time spent with your families and friends.

almost christmas!

I'm soo excited that its almost christmas! The only thing is I have to finish making a couple presents. The problem with that is that I've been sick constantly and I don't want to make the reciever of the gift sick. Its amazing how many times I've been sick recently. First I had bronchitus, then I had a really nast bacterial infection, and now I'm in the middle of getting/getting rid of a sinus infection! Overall its just been soo crazy. My gym teacher says its stress, but she was really mean yesterday so I'm not sure that I want to believe her even though I'm pretty sure she's right. It's just she made me stay after yesterday and do exercises I'm not supposed to do with my arm cause I have some overuse injury and I even have a note that says I can't do them. When I reminded her of the note she wouldn't listen and said I had to fill out this entire workout sheet arm exercises and all or else I would fail the class. Needless to say my mother is pissed and will talk to the asisstant principal today. I just hope it gets worked out and I no longer get sick.

p.s. more later

CAST IS OFF!!!

As you probably assumed from the title my cast is finally off! I'm soo happy. I mean I'm a little sore when I move my wrist and thumb but thats only because both have been immoble for weeks! Now I can finally knit fast, grasp things with my left hand, and shower w/o wearing a stupid plastic sleeve!

I am just soo relieved to finally be able to bend my thumb. The bone is not entirely healed, but its about 90% healed according to the doctor. I have to wear a brace for 4 weeks then go back to the doctor, but I least I can take off the brace if need be.

In other news, yesterday I got together with one of my best friends who is in college this year. She has a long weekend so she came to visit and challenge me in wii bowling. I won all but two games! One of the games I was half assing though, but you can't blame me because I was exhausted.

So overall things are going pretty well.

Busy much?

I've been soo busy this weekend its crazy. Yesterday I had a rehearsal for YAGMCB. I found out my part is Lucy! I'm excited for it. The only thing is I have paragraphs and paragraphs to memorize. Then after rehearsal I went out to lunch got back home and did hw for most of the day. Not very fun but oh well!

Today I had my spanish tutor and I was supposed to volunteer at the library but I'm not feeling well. Finally, later today, I have an acting lesson to help me prep for college auditions which are creeping up on me.

Until the lesson, I've decided that I need to look for monologues, learn lines, and learn music. I am also going to knit some. Maybe watch a movie. Idk just yet. anyways off to do so.

TGIF!!!

As the title sugests, I'm am thrilled its friday. I've had a migraine all week and it has really sucked. It's on track of going away though finally. I'm grateful for that. So... I am working on making hats for charity. I'm making them for elementary aged kids who can not afford school lunch and other essentials like hats. The person organizing the charity group is also collecting mittens, but I have a broken wrist so its kinda hard to use dpns.

My cast comes off in a little over a week. not next tuesday, but the tuesday after. I'm excited for that. I'm also nervous though because I have been diagnosed with Osteo Penia with is early stages of Osteo Perosis. It's annoying because I'm only 17. However, Osteo Penia can be reversed. My mom thinks that it is caused by a hormonal inbalance. we'll see. I'm getting a ton of bloodwork done today. Only thing that really stinks is that now I have thin bones so they break easier and I fall a lot. :(.

I find out my part in my show tomorrow. I am doing You're a Good Man Charlie Brown(YAGMCB) I really hope that I get Sally because I absolutely love the part and her song My New Philosophy. Wish me luck!
