Hello again my loves
So I know it has been FOREVER since I have updated....and soo much has happened. But I wont go into those details because I simply dont have the time.
Time is something I have not had lately.
I have been incredibly frustrated these past couple of months about my absolute incapacity to follow a schedule. I will schedule time to do homework, read this or that, work out, or whatever...but that schedule has yet to go accordingly. So I have come to the point where I dont do schedules anymore. What is the point? They never work for me and I wind up increasingly frustrated. Which I hate. So I said to hell with schedules and I just wing everything.....and I love it. It works for me. Living life on the wing brings much excitement. And I still have the same success level. I really don't know why I am writing about this. SUBJECT CHANGE.
PASSIONS. The other day I performed in the play "Vanities" before my drama class. And I was reminded of why I love to act and perform. Being on stage in character: in another persons feelings, thinking another persons thoughts....just putting your heart into a whole a play is something I love. Being on stage, playing off the adrenaline of the other actors and having the ability to escape the boring monotonous life we live, is so addicting. Being able to pour your time and energy into a masterpiece of a performance is soo exhilarating. The feeling of being back stage in the dark, knowing that the moment you walk into the stage lights you will be watched and judged by others. Knowing that at any moment you could trip, mess up, look like an idiot....knowing that you can humiliate yourself, but not caring, just forgetting about your own identity to become the identity of your character. Nothing else matters. Not your lousy boyfriend, not your slipping grades, not your overbearing parents, nothing. You are a whole nother person, you have officially escaped. You dont exist. All that matters in that moment are the lights, the adrenaline, the lines, the blocking, the emotion, the joy, the despair, the hatred, the love, the character you are in that very moment. And giving everything you have to bring that literature, those words, that meaning to life. Theatre is the portrayal of magic, of fantasy, of hardship, of love, of eternity, of death, of the reason for existence. Theatre makes a person think, imagine, desire, dream...ect. Theatre is such a source of inspiration that is fading away in todays society. Actors are being replaced with movie stars, performances are being replaced with dvds, creativity is being lost in every click of the TV remote control. What has happened to performing arts? Why is theatre overlooked so much? Sports, easy entertainment, laziness ect...It is so sad..
Wow what a random tangent I just went into....
Well hmmm....I dont know what else to say....um so yeah....haha

Hello Loves!
Hmmm I recognize it has been a long time since my last post, and I am very sorry about that!
My life since last post:
I have been crazy busy with school!!!
I have had a crazy sleep pattern!!!
Regionals was supposed to be last week, but they so conveniently rescheduled for the day I leave for Mexico!!!!
Stressful! But luckily the amazing team I am going with to Mexico decided to wait for Beth and I : ) Thanks!
Im super nervous for regionals, it is what qualifies me for state. I really really really hope I can go, but state is the same weekend as prom!!! So that is pretty annoying! But Oh well, Im not even positive Im going to state. And I cant even find a prom dress.....arg change of subject
So lately I have been thinking about my future and what I want to do. I know I want to make a difference in the injustice I see all over the world. I have been planning on doing civil rights law for a long time now. But lately I have been also thinking about journalism because I want to inform our nation. I really want to see a change in our media. Enough about Britney more about Darfur!
Sidenote: check this out change.org
It is a great site to get involved in positive changes
Anyway, I talked to my English teacher today and she thinks I have the writing ability, so journalism might be my new thing! I'll pray about it and see if it will fit into my schedule for next year!
I'm still thinking about Baylor or Ou for possible colleges. I was also thinking about how much I would LOVE moving up east....maybe Boston or New York! I just love big cities in general. So either way, the majors I'm thinking about going into are: history, psychology or journalism. All as pre-law majors. The law school up east for sure!!!
But I have also been thinking about how much I really want to go into other countries and see the injustice first hand, I want to truly experience the world I will be working so hard to save. So I am thinking about taking a year off before college to go into the Peace Corps,
What do you think?
Other than those thoughts, I am super pumped for Mexico!!! Please pray for us!

Home sweet home
So I am back from Harvard!
And it was fabulous!!!!!
This city of Boston is so incredibly enchanting! The history and the chaos in that city is unlike any other place I have been to before (though it did remind me of London, it was still sooo much different!)
Things I loved about Boston:
1-All the historic places
2-The people were soo nice and proud of their city
3-The people there were also alot smarter and wittier (no offense) ; )
4-The guys were soooo attractive!! They were mostly tall and thin with glasses and dark hair! The perfect physical aspects for men in my taste. Especially the ones who attended Harvard!! They were some super intellectual hotties : ) haha
5-I just love big cities in general, especially taking the subway and getting to walk all over the place-it is so refreshing and energizing!
6-The food!!!
I actually did alot better than I thought I would have in terms of debating.
I won four out of my six rounds!!!
I was pretty shocked to hear it! Only three people on our team did that well against those crazy debaters! the competition was super intense.
But I am soo glad I went. I met so many cool people, saw so many interesting places, had so many eye opening experiences and ate so much good food : )
Well, now my biggest challenge is getting all my make-up work finished, and competing again this weekend, which is my last chance to qualify!!! Ahhhh anyway,
I have missed all you girls (and guy?) soo dearly!!
I hope to see you soon!

Harvard!!!!!!!!!
AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
So, I am so absolutely and incredibly nervous about Harvard! I know that the experience will be fun overall, but I am sooo nervous!
I feel like it is my first time to debate......ah the good ole days.......I remeber it like it was yesterday. I sat alone in a crowded cafeteria and I listened to obscure techno music and stared at my yellow legal paper whilst circling around the number eight with my blue ballpoint pen. It was probably one of the most nerve wrecking moments of my life! And it is back!!
I am soo nervous about my competition! But it is mostly because I am under prepared. It seems I have lost all self-discipline in the area of anything school related (especially math).
Arrrg....well I am off to finish packing and working on my cases!!!
Love you girls!!!! (haha I dont know any male bloggers)
