I HAVE A PLACE TO STAY NEXT YEAR!!
my friend kelsey called today to offer me a room in this cute little house about a block away from where i currently live. we just went to look at it, and it's perfect. and did i mention cheap? 300 a month for rent is pretty darn good. not to mention with a group of people i love. next year is already looking good.
i have a boyfriend named d.j. ... i haven't mentioned him in my blog before, but i figured i should for anyone who reads this (which i understand is very few people). he's a senior M.T. major who is SUPREMELY talented, sweet, handsome, and he truly cares about me. and vice versa. we'll see how the rest of the year works out, but i will have a hard time when he moves to new york to become rich and famous and leaves me to wallow in greeley. : ) ok, i won't wallow, but i WILL be sad. hopefully, we can be cast in a show or something this summer.
i need to find an E.N.T. here. i'm still not better. what is this crap?!
i have a weight-loss goal. i want to be a size 4 by this summer. i think that's safe and reasonable, but i just need to be motivated. i've been to the gym almost every day since i've been back, so i think i'm headed in the right direction. is it too much to ask to feel good while wearing shorts?
i can't wait for the summer. the snow is pretty and it's fun to be bundled up, but seriously... i just want some heat. it's always cold in my room and i can't seem to get warm during the day. this poses a problem for someone trying to get over an illness. it's driving me crazy...
anyways, it's been a pretty good day. more later. LOVE.

what's this?
two days in a row of blogging?? MIRACLE OF MIRACLES.
how is everyone on this fine saturday afternoon? personally, i am very happy it's the weekend, which is a little sad after only 2 weeks of school. i plan on searching a little more for jobs, going to the gym, studying the international phonetic alphabet, and enjoying the sunshine. it's cold here, but the sun is out almost constantly during the day. i was told to expect more snow, and i'm very excited for the delivery of some new snow boots that will keep my feet toasty warm. let's hope they arrive before the snow does...
i still can't hear more than 50% out of my left ear, which the ENT man said was a side effect of my sinus infection. yes, 4 months after coming down with a bug of some sort, and i'm still getting over it. i just want to be healthy again. being sick for that long is pretty tiresome.
as much as i love keeping up with my family, the situation with my nephew is eating me up right now. i love this little boy. the fact that i could see him EVERY DAY over the break made my days brighter, and the thought that he might be a part of another family soon just makes me sick. my mom put him on the phone when i called earlier this week, and it took everything i had not to bawl my eyes out. this is definitely a tough situation, for all of us. i think i'll try praying about it.
it is truly amazing that i'm writing today, but i'll try to keep it up as best as i can. miss you all. LOVE.

little homesick?
yeah, i guess i am... i've been back in greeley for about 2 weeks now, and i'd be lying if i said i didn't miss home a little. it was so nice being back. i'm not sure when i'll be home again, which is a little scary.
apologies for the hiatus. i'm the worst.
WE HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT! the feeling in the air on the 20th was different in a way, like people knew great changes were coming and it affected their moods. the weather here corresponded, with temperatures hovering somewhere around 70 degrees. and yet, today it snowed. curious...
i'm on a quest. an epic journey to find the most elusive and mysterious of possessions: a job. when you think about it, what's really so hard about finding one? i haven't been able to find many opportunities here, which is really discouraging. my dream is to find a family who needs childcare and a housekeeper on a regular basis. however, my search isn't going very well. hopefully my luck will change soon, because... i have no money.
classes are going well. nothing too stressful or taxing, which will be a nice change from last semester's western civ. i'm really looking forward to the summer, hopefully getting cast in a show, taking more classes and (maybe?) having a real job. it won't be much of a "summer", but i'm really trying to get outta here as soon as possible. LET LIFE BEGIIIIIIN!
i miss all of you. i'll try my best to update this sorry excuse for a blog more often. LOVE.

this time i'm genuinely apologizing for how long it's been since i wrote last. unacceptable.
we opened the laramie project tonight. it was GREAT. the audience was moved and i think we told the story as well as we could. i guess as soon as lights went out, we had a standing ovation. but, it's hard to see that when there's no curtain call... : )
now, my attention is focused on writing one more big paper for western civ. i think this one is worth 20% of our grade, so it's imperative that i do a good job. i'm trying my best to keep my nose to the grindstone and crank it out. it's not working so well. eh, i'll finish it tomorrow.
thanksgiving. so excited. the end.
also exciting: CHRISTMAS. i can't wait to come home for the holidays. and do all the festive things my heart desires. you and me, stuart, you and me.
ok, ok, just writing this blog is keeping me from writing this paper, so i'll wrap it up. miss you all and i'll try to be more diligent with the posts. LOVE.

jeez
ok, it may be safer to say i'll write when i get the chance, because this every day thing is NOT working. : )
it's been a pretty busy week. lots of homework, prop shopping, rehearsal, meetings and much, much more. i'd like to think i'm keeping up with things pretty well, which is saying something. being sick hasn't helped. i've had this thing for about 3 weeks now, and i'm just about ready for it to be gone. oh wait, i've been ready for 3 weeks. i feel it lifting, though, which is great.
it gets colder and colder nowadays. i'm trying to brace myself for the shocking blow that is winter, which i can tell is just about to jump at me from around the corner and sucker punch me in the face (what a visual, eh?). when it happens, i've got my coats, scarves, hats, mittens, boots and hot chocolate armed and ready. we'll see how i handle it.
tomorrow, i'm going with kayla and a bunch of friends to her hometown to see a show at the high school. it'll be nice to take a little trip to somewhere that isn't greeley. after that, i have to focus on the fact that the one-act opens in A WEEK. crazy. i think we're ready for people to see it, though. we've worked hard, and it shows.
lastly, my plans for thanksgiving have changed. i thought i would be staying here at school, but recent opportunities have been made available to me. that's all i'll say for now... LOVE.

tuckered out
yesterday worked out differently than i expected. the show was great, and the fact that it was free made it even better. however, i left my purse at a restaurant we went to, and had to wait around for someone from the day shift to look for it. that set us back about 30 minutes. this meant we got back to greeley around 6:30, which meant i missed the opportunity to see tammis and detta : (. i would have loved to see them, but i'll see them soon enough.
after going to bed FAR too late last night, i woke up around 6:30 AM to meet my one-act cast at andre's house. from there, we drove to laramie, WY to meet Rebecca Hilliker, a woman i play in the show. it was AMAZING to meet her and hear what she thought about everything having to do with laramie project. i'm sure it will help us with understanding and portraying the story correctly. from there, we ate lunch, which proved to be a great "cast bonding" time. these people are so much fun to be around. our last stop in laramie was to find a fence that was very close to the location of the actual crime scene. despite the lighthearted air of the cast, being there was pretty moving. the fact that we're able to share this story is really an honor, and i couldn't ask for anything more.
soooo i'm pretty tired after everything i've done over the last 48 hours. so excited for what's still to come. LOVE.
