Midterm..

It’s been more than a month since I posted last, and things are just about as hectic. The Diary of Anne Frank, our fall production at CU, just finished. I was assistant house managing as well as working costume crew. I had my first two Structure and Function exams since before, and I’ve averaged a B- on them both, which is more than I’d hope for honestly at this point, so I’m happy with that. Every other class is going pretty well, which is almost surprising considering how many there are..

I went to our career fair at the beginning of this month, which really got me interested in obtaining an internship at some point, very probably next summer. Between now and then, I’ve acquired an unpaid internship through Together We Rise as a social media marketing intern, which is something I’m really excited about. I’ll get to work as an advocate for better foster care support while also professionally helping myself.

I’ve officially written three stories for Cedars so far, two of which are now currently in print in our October edition, which has been really fun. I love writing and being able to actually contribute to something helps a lot.

I have a directing scene for my Directing I class a week from today actually, which is going to be performed by Abbie R. and Ahna M., and I’m super excited for all the hard work they’ve put in that has culminated into my very emotional section of the play I chose. It’ll be worth all the late hours rehearsing..

I’ve had to start talking to Josh again because my mind won’t shut up, but that’s fine. It’s something I know I have to deal with eventually, and I’ll bear it once more if I must. All my friends have been really supportive of me even in the worst of times for me, which has been super encouraging.

Speaking of encouraging: I’ve been thinking about running for SGA for several months now, and I spoke with Alex Paat about it several weeks ago, and he told me to ask people what they’d think of my having the position, and I’ve been praying and asking people about it all over, and I’ve only gotten one “no”, which was basically just a concern that I might be a better fit in a different community based role. I’m really hoping to run this spring, and I’m excited that it seems not only God but the people around me are all for it. It’s a huge commitment on my part, but I’m ready to dive right in if He’ll be with me the whole way.

I’ve been praying for so many people recently, since it seems this semester is a tough one that’s keeping people very busy. If I need any prayer at all it’s keeping my mind focused on the work and nothing else.. I hope I can accomplish that. We’re halfway there. I’m more almost a quarter done with my junior year of college.. Ugh.. that’ll never get old.
