I have to say, I've learned a lot today.
Today was a pretty typical Monday. I got a lot of helpful advice in my acting class on how to act better, though I felt bad for being onstage so much... I just won't volunteer Wednesday to give more people a chance. Still, I'm glad I'm learning.
In my 130 lab, I got to help set up the set in the Bing theater, which meant that I got to climb a really tight, small, spiral staircase all the way to the top of the theater!! It looked like it was out of the Phantom of the Opera. It was so, so cool!!! Otherwise, this lab is teaching me how to just shut up and let people talk. I find it works a lot better that way: I shut up and take directions, and the people in charge do what they want. They know what they're doing better in that shop than I do, anyway.
I'm going to try for another audition. There's a company on-campus called Brand New Theater, and they produce brand-new, student-written plays. They need actors to put these on, of course, so maybe they'll think I'm a good fit for one of the one-acts?
I found out in Philosophy that I have to buy a blue book for my midterm. Looks like we are in college, folks!!
The best part of today though was when I got back from working out. A group of my high school friends had a Google Hangout that I got to join in on! I got to see and talk to some people that I haven't in a long time. It was so fun to hear their voices and to have them make me laugh :) I miss all my friends so much. I have some great friends here, don't get me wrong, but there's nothing like old friends to make you happy.
I've been just relaxing since.... thinking a lot for sure.
I'm really ambitious. I've known this about myself for a while now: I'm always trying to do more than I probably can. But I've found one of my problems: I focus on my goal instead of how to get there. But I don't want to make a plan to get to a goal, because who knows what God has in store for me to get there? Still... maybe planning is something I should consider. Making little goals in order to reach a bigger goal.
The other problem with this, though, is what little goals are going to help me reach the big ones? What if I think something will help, but it's just a waste of time? Will I ever know?
Anyway, my point is I've been thinking a lot about this, and I think I'm going to try to solidify my goals, and hopefully smaller goals to reach them as well. Any advice from any of you out there who might've had goals accomplished before?
Anyways, I'm also thinking about how I feel a lot better being here now than I did at the beginning of the year. I guess I'm finally starting to get used to this kind of life, here in college. There are a few things that still annoy me to pieces though:
1) The dirty bathroom. It's gross. Some people on this floor just do NOT care about cleanliness... ick.
2) Not being able to be barefoot everywhere :(
3) It's difficult to get meals because all the food is far away when you want it, and I'm not unlazy enough to look up the menu of the cafeterias every day to find exactly what I want to eat
There's still no place like home, I suppose.
Fight on, friends.
