     I haven't written in ages and so decided it was time to update the world of my life's story. So much has happened since I last wrote, a film I made got into a film contest and was in the second place category. I was accepted to a traveling theater program called Up With People, I haven't decided if I will do it or not, but now that option is out there. Then most of all, the thing consuming my life is that I am in the second to last week of the musical as the head costume girl.
      Mostly things are going pretty good, from an overall standpoint I'm almost finished with my high school career, only a few more weeks. I'm doing decently in school (considering I am never home), and the musical itself is going really well. On a more micro level, I am struggling, as much as I so deeply want to move forward in my total life, not be stuck in this high school chapter any longer, I am going to miss so much. Hayes theater, the many, so many friends I have made, the little unique relationships I share with countless individuals around my school, lunch periods in the overly crowded cafeteria  but I shall stop now. That entry must be saved for later.
     One thing about musicals is that with each one I grow a little stronger, oh I have as many emotional breakdowns as the next teenage girl putting her mind and body through what you do during musical season, but when you come out of it all, alive and mostly healthy, you know after that anything is possible. That is a great feeling, akin to flying halfway across the world or traveling in India. The one downside of musical (besides the obvious ones people who don't do it will count off for you) is that one way you keep going in musicals is on a constant stream of complaints  Attention is a very powerful thing, and can almost singlehandedly keep one running strong, and there are points all it takes is a kind word to get you on your feet again, while this seems good the downside is when you come home away from the constant excitement and attention and are blasted into your alternative life where you aren't treated like a queen, and can act like one too... from my perspective at least. I suppose I'm completely writing the truth here, but the truth is a good thing, even if it makes me sounds like I have an ego bigger than  my head. Anyway more updates this weekend, or after the show is over. Good bye for now!
