Snow, Dreams, Yoga, and Auditions...

My goodness, it doesn't seem like it's been two months since I last updated this thing. Time flies, doesn't it?? It's kind of depressing when you think about it... AND at the same time, I'm usually wishing the time would fly. "Gosh, I just wish it were next week. Then I would be done with these two exams and this audition would be over with", yadda yadda yah... I've decided to stop doing this... Live in the moment for the moment, right? We spend our lives always working for something and forget to calm down and relax sometimes... Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I certainly do this often...

Which brings me to a new note-- Whenever I get busy with things, I put other important things at a lower priority... Such as, a big one for me right now-- I've always loved doing yoga. BUT when I get super duper busy, it's the first thing that goes! That's kind of counterproductive, huh?! Not anymore. I have been doing yoga for 9 years now... wow... that's a long time... : / I'm old... Anyways-- I'm not giving it up.

Speaking of "giving it up"... lol... (I just love tying things in together!)... I haven't had any processed sugar this year. Today it will have been an entire month!! Whoa! I know, ONE MONTH, that's not that long... oh, but for me, it is. I'm pretty stoked.

This is an incredibly big week for me... Or month really! This weekend, I'll be heading to Chicago for my audition with the University of London...It's for my Masters in Musical Theatre... I am to say the least incredibly anxious... excited, but nervous.. I had a dream about it last night and it went really well, so that's a good sign, right?? Actually, it was one of those super weird dreams where I was at the audition singing, but I was also traveling through a playground maze-like thing... Dreams can be so weird. Still haven't come to a conclusion of whether they mean anything or not. My dreams do give me dejavu' quite often though?... creeepy...

Sooo-- Headed to Chicago this weekend. Then, on March 5th, I'm headed to New York for the Intercollegiate Broadcasting Systems Conference (it's a radio conference for nerds.. : ) I'm pretty pumped!). After the weekend is over, I'll be staying with Ryan Chitt and his roomies for the week-- gonna audition for some things in the city while I'm there. After that, I'm taking a train to Boston for NETC, the New England Theatre Conference. Lots and lots going on, but I am attempting to not be stressed... hence yoga this morning. : )

WMTS happenings have been quite exciting-- the new website is finally up-- www.wmts.org-- still working on kinks, but it's there! Online streaming is also available there! Yay! Managing the radio station has definitely been keeping me busy... It's funny, too... It seems to be one of the most unrewarding and most rewarding things that I do. Does that make any sense? lol. Being the General Manager, people only seem to come to me whenever something breaks and continuously give me crap for it...when I have already been working my butt off to get it fixed! People don't see that part though. I get crap when bad things happen, but when great things happen, I get nothing. No pat on the back or anything like that... lol.... not that I need that or anything! People could still try to not be so rude sometimes though. Well, I did get a fancy "Outstanding Student" trophy...but still. lol. BUT, as I was saying.. it's also one of the most rewarding things I've done... I know that regardless of whether people recognize the work that I do, that at the end of the day, I know the work that I've done and I can be proud of it. And, in the end, that is what really matters. As long as you know that you've given your all to something, it's okay... because that's how life is always going to be. : ) I'll take it as a lesson learned.

It's been snowing here like craaaazy. Super weird for Tennessee! I went sledding with the boy yesterday.. SOooo much fun! : )

I guess that's a pretty good update on my life at the moment. As far as where I will be in just a few months? Good question... Is it weird that this question excites me?
