I'm Going Home!

    I feel like this past week has been a countdown to fall break. The only thing getting me through this week has been the fact that I get to go home this weekend. I'm from Savannah, GA so I don't get to see my family much during the school year. I really only see them on breaks. I also have to fly home, it would be a twelve hour drive otherwise. Last year I didn't even go home during fall break. I went home with one of my best friends because she lives in Illinois. But this year I decided I really needed to see my family. I seriously cannot wait to go home. I will get to see my parents, my brother and my dog. It was also my dad's birthday yesterday so I'm going to be able to celebrate with him when I go home. 

    I honestly thought this week was going to go by super slow, since I've been counting down until I get to leave, but it actually went by super fast. It is already Thursday! And once tomorrow hits I'm basically done because I'm leaving after all my classes. Tomorrow night my friend Lenore is going to drive me and one of our other friends, Kayleigh, home. Plus, Lenore's boyfriend is coming too. All three of us are musical theatre majors so that car ride should be an interesting experience for him. Then, Saturday morning she's driving us to one of the airports near her in Illinois. Then I'll be home!!!

    Other than going home, nothing too interesting has happened this week. My classes were pretty normal, I had one midterm (for this class) and I did get my final scene in my acting class. We will be working on scenes with a partner for the rest of the semester. I'm super excited because my play is super interesting, my scene is going to be super cool, my character has so many things going on with her and I have the best scene partner. 

    I really need the reset that fall break is going to give me. But once I get back here I'll be ready to dive back in!

    I only live an hour and a half away from ONU, so I go home decently often and I still miss my family after I've been away for a couple of weeks. I can't imagine living that far away and only getting to see them on breaks. I have gone home more often this semester because my brother is a senior in high school and I want to see as many of his football games that I can. I'm glad you're able to go home for fall break this year, I hope you enjoy it!

Thanksgiving Break!

Image
 Thanksgiving break was much needed for all of us, but I can't help feeling like it wasn't much of a break. I feel like I packed so much into one week, where I managed to exhaust myself and not come back as refreshed as I had hoped. Almost every single night of break I hung out with a group of my friends, or my family. Also, due to The Holiday Spectacular, I didn't get home until Sunday night. On Monday night, I saw Wicked with my friends Laini and my mom. It was incredible. I wasn't expecting to cry and I totally did. If you haven't seen it, go watch it. It will change your life. On Tuesday night I hung out with another of my friends, Swati, went shopping with her and then went to her house for dinner. My days were also filled with appointments like the doctor, the chiropractor and my hair stylist of course. I got my hair toned darker and got my bangs redone as well. On Wednesday I met one of my best friends, Amelie, for lunch. She wasn't home for very long so ...

The Social Dilemma

Image
      So, to be completely honest I did get my movies mixed around. I got The Social Network and The Social Dilemma mixed up. I really like the movie The Social Network so when I realized that wasn't what we were watching, I was a little disappointed. If you haven't seen it it is about Mark Zuckerberg and how facebook was created. But it isn't a documentary, it is just a movie telling the story of the creation of Facebook. But The Social Dilemma has definitely been an interesting watch.      The Social Dilemma talks about the dangers of social media and how companies basically manipulate us into being addicted to our phones and apps. There are interviews of employees who used to work at some of these companies and can attest to the way that things are run. They send notifications to keep you on your phone and use psychology to keep you addicted.  There were a mix of interviews and staged scenarios to get their point across in this documentary....

Holiday Tech Week!

Image
  On Sunday, we went into tech for the ONU Holiday Spectacular! For those who don't know what a tech week is, it is the week before a show opens where all technical elements are added, like lights, sound, set, costumes, hair and makeup, props, etc. All the actors have been running the show for a while now, so this week is a time for the tech crew to practice what they do and for the actors to get used to all the new elements as well. On Sunday, rehearsal was about 11 hours. I got there at 11:30 for the crew meeting and we started to set up. I left that night around 10 or 11pm. We had an hour break for dinner and we periodically took ten minute breaks throughout the rehearsal as well so the actors and crew had time to sit down, drink some water and, you know, take a break.       It was a very long day and I was exhausted by the end of the night. As an assistant stage manager, I am in charge of stage left, or SL. I had to learn about where all the set pieces we mo...
