Musicals and Happy Days

Cherish here!

"Our story is the story of the universe. Every piece of everyone, of everything you love and everything you ate, of the thing you hold most precious, was assembled by the forces of nature in the first few minutes of the life of the universe, transformed in the hearts of stars or created in their fiery deaths. And when you die, those pieces will be returned to the universe in the endless cycle of death and rebirth. What a wonderful thing it is to be a part of that universe. What a story, what a majestic story."
-Brian Cox

Once upon a time I was good at this blogging thing and remembered to do it. Now? Not so much. Of course, I'm a busy bee so you can't really blame me.
(The past doesn't really matter, but if you were wondering I went to state for diving. And survived a chemistry class. Shoot, I destroyed that class with a solid B. And I'm in a musical right now!)
Here's the big news though! Wait for it...

I AM GOING TO SEATTLE UNIVERSITY THIS FALL!!!


Honestly, I don't know how everyone who got into the college they wanted to isn't freaking out. Because I'm still freaking out and I found out in December. It's building!

Oh yes. I'm going to be a Redhawk! (Red and black have been my school colors since middle school) I'm in the Humanities for Leadership program, which only takes about twenty people a year, so that's really exciting!  And the plan right now is to dual degree in Environmental Science. Guys! I'm going to be a scientist! How wonderful!And unexpected. I always thought I would end up studying English and writing a book. Now I'm planning a life of adventure and debt. Private schools are expensive.

Also, I'm in a musical right now! The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee! Don't feel bad if you've never heard of it, it's not a super popular show. It's basically a bunch of adults playing socially awkward children. I'm playing Logainne Schwartzandgrubenniere, a fifth-grader with a lisp, two mothers, and serious political ambitions. It's really fun! We open next week, and I'm a little nervous. But we'll be fine of course. I'm sad to see us drawing so close to the end of our run, I always wish we could perform longer than two weeks after months of rehearsing and falling in love with my cast members. Tomorrow is our lock-in! We rehearse from 2:15 to midnight! And we eat and play games and have wonderful fun times! Hopefully. Last year's lock-in was my worst experience with drama. However, we have such a tight-knit cast, I think this year will actually be fun. And we had someone come in and talk to us about Village Theatre's independent summer production and I'm thinking I just might audition for it. They're doing Urinetown. I think I want some experience with a real show (no offense MP) before deciding if I would like to continue with drama in college? Did I mention I get to dress up like an American flag? "Subtly", of course. AND! The director of the BAHL program at SU is planning on coming to see the show! That is going above and beyond, let me tell you. Guys! I'm so excited!
On top of everything else I have an interview tomorrow! It's at McDonalds, which I'm kind of embarrassed about. Honestly though, I don't even remember applying and with SU in my future a job is a job and I need the money. Also then I can buy myself fun things! Although off the top of my head I can't think of anything I desperately need.
Did I mention I'm going to Seattle University?!
Cherish out!
