the end of the beginning
the musical is now over and it makes me surprisingly sad! i made so many great friends and had so much fun dancing on singing on stage that i've decided that i want to do more musicals. maybe they have like intramural musicals or something at byu? or i could even take an acting class or something? that could be fun!
now this show we did is our school's "cappie-show" meaning that student judges from all over come to watch it (we had about 50-60 cappies come on saturday) and then they give out awards, like the tony awards, for best actress/actor, ensemble, pit-band, etc. and because our saturday night performance was our best one, i'm pretty certain we'll get nominated for something! and then there's always the chance of performing the show at the kennedy center which would just be phenomenally awesome.
so keep your fingers crossed for us and maybe i'll steal someones pictures to put some up? maybe even a video??

let the suffering begin...
this is week is what theatre people call "hell week" for us.
i call it "heck week" or "swell week".
meaning that this is the week of opening night.
we open on thursday and tonight we are doing our first dress rehearsal!
"swell week" means we get to stay at school till about 10 or later running the show and perfecting every little thing. then we go home and do homework. then we get up early and come to school for more rehearsal and suffer through classes and tests. AND because this week is the last week of the quarter/term, they are piling on the tests. WOOP WOOP!
let the fun times ROOLLLL!!!!
if you can, come see the show on thursday, friday, or saturday at 7pm!!
email me if you want information :)

is beauty really pain?
this is a question that always come up in my brain when choosing what shoes to wear.i think the answer to this question is this: it depends.
when wearing shoes, it depends on how long you're wearing them for. like for a few hours when you won't be walking too much, beauty definitely overrides pain.
BUT if you know you'll be walking a lot or fast, definitely go with simpler comfortable looking pair.
and i think that anything above maybe 4 inches is a little psycho.
but i have to say, i absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE high heels.

these shoes are absolutely adorable.
some of my favorite shoes EVER are found here (except for any wedges)
so if you ever need any gift ideas.... :) (i'm a size 8)
BUT ANYWAYS, back to the original question "is beauty really pain?", it depends on the situation and it depends on the person.
for me, i would usually go with YES, beauty is pain.

I flew out to Utah to spend my Spring Break with family and friends out in Utah. I got to spend time with my friends Kirsten and Andie and then spend some time with my family members Lisa, and Bryan, Katie, and Olivia!
Here are some fun things I did:

- went to these classes with Andie --> music class, ASL class (first deaf person I've met and it was really cool!), american heritage
- ate some goooood food at the cannon center with andie
- went to these classes with Bryan --> physics, chemistry, microbiology, and construction management
- went to work with lisa and ate a whole bag of oreos for dinner and breakfast (1 bag for both, not one for each)
- hung out with katie and olivia and made some cool headbands
- walked around campus with katie and olivia while holding lillies
- dyed part of my hair HOT PINK with kirsten :)
- went to dinner and coldstone with the fam
- played fun games and bryan and katie's

oh the stresses of high school
some reasons why i am not sleeping and am currently breaking out:
- SCHOOL: AP classes are pulling my eyelashes out, one by stinkin' one. i don't understand ap lit and i don't think i ever will. ap gov is just...stupid. i don't really care that much about the government, sorry to those of you who do. and then math is just pointless; especially with a terrible teacher who you can't understand in the first place.
- MUSICAL: memorizing songs you barely have learned proves to be very very difficult
- COLLEGE HOUSING: i don't get to apply till next week and people are already applying now! where do i wanna live?! i'm thinking heritage halls either tingey or whitney... suggestions?
- FRIEND DRAMA: i hate those people who're like "oh i HATE drama, blah blah blah" and then turn around and create a ton! and then the people who are just overall obnoxious and like to rule the world.
- FAMILY: i love my family, i do. but sometimes i just need to step away and take a breather...
whew, that felt nice to get out.

rain
it has been raining the last two days and i LOVE IT!
it just makes me feel so happy to walk in the rain and smell the rain (minus the worms).
and sitting inside reading a book gets that much better when you can hear the rain beating down on your safe secure house. sleeping is much more fitful when it's raining too.
love it!!

the power of smiling
today i had play practice and was pretty bummed; i wanted to go shopping with mom and party, you know?
but i had to go, so i went.
turns out we were learning choreography to a new song! whoopee! (that's sarcasm, btdubbs).
so we're starting out learning these moves which are kinda like charleston moves (but def not as cool as this lady is) so that's pretty cool.
so we're dancing dancing dancing and the choreographer girl was like "GUYS! you all look like you wanna go jump off a cliff, come ON!" i realized i hadn't smiled once. how pathetic.
so i made eye contact with my friend (who wasn't in this dance) and threw on the cheesiest smile i could muster. by the end of that run-through my whole mood was completely flipped. i was happy and smiley the rest of the night all because of my cheesy smiles!
the moral: the next time you are feeling glum and you're like "no, that's stupid. you're stupid. everyone's stupid!!" just suck it up and pretend to be happy, it might really work!!
TURN THAT FROWN UPSIDE DOWN!!
and as my YW leader says: "a smile is a girls best accessory. and it's FREE!" heehee

LAST TRIVIA
Winner of Yesterday's trivia: .... nobody...........
Answer: The Milan Conference in Milan, Italy! The deaf were forced to learn to speak orally and if they were caught signing, they first had to wear white gloves and then if they were caught again, they would get their hands tied together behind their back. Terrible times for the deaf.
