A Laugh A Day Keeps The Doctors Away!

I absolutely loved having my seesters

Carissa and Brielle

 in town!

It was so much fun!

Especially almost every night after Parker boys 

went down to sleep

Brielle and I would get on Pinterest

and look at the humor

category.

So here are some of the funny stuff we found.

[And its a judge free zone, because some of this is 

a lot funnier late at night!]

So its basically all pictures but they are seriously so funny!!

I hope you enjoyed them as much as we did!

Especially the last one! 

Hahaha I miss my seesters already!

Call Me Maybe??

Well to start off, 

I have made the goal to blog more often,

therefore making my posts 

a little bit shorter,

but also more individually written.

If that makes sense..

Its so hard to try to get caught up on everything that goes on.

So if I stick to one or two topics for each post,

it might be a little bit easier to blog,

for a few reasons

but especially because it wont take hours to type!

Anyways,

auditions for DCC's Spring

musical HONK!

were yesterday and today.

 And the callback list was posted on facebook

not to long ago,

and guess what!

I got called back!! 

WOO WOO!!

Congratulations to those who got called back:

TJ Norton

Josh Ormord

Kieran Cox

Grant Lattanzi

Mark Vedra

Cole Hendrickson

Danielle Bullock

Jennie Leski

Joy Owen

Carolyn Trahan

Gabriella Tabib

Stacey Allred

Sarah Nelson

Callbacks are tomorrow after school..

They should be pretty interesting.

Everyone that

was called back is really talented.

I honestly have no idea whats going to happen.

I am so beyond grateful for the opportunity

to perform again and to

show them what I can bring

to the stage.

I am trying not to get my hopes up

but I do have a specific role that I would

just absolutely

love love love

to be. I would love to play the

role of Ida.

Which is Ugly's mom.

She is the female lead.

I have actually been aiming towards her this whole time,

even in preparing my first

monologue and song.

I am grateful to be called back.

I am excited, nervous, anxious and 

a thousand other

emotions right now.

I am going to try to go into callbacks

with a positive attitude that no matter what happens,

is for the best.

The directors,

Mrs. Keating, Dr. B, Mr. Hilborn, and Robin

know what is best

and see things from a different 

perspective than we students do.

I wan to be able to say that

no matter what happens,

I did my best.

So here's to Honk! auditions,

and may everyone get the part they

deserve.

I pray that I will get the part that I am hoping for,

but if not I pray that I will grow to love my part,

whatever it may be.

Hell Week

Wow. 

Where does one start when talking about Hell Week??

Well, to start, it is exactly what it sounds like.

It's the week of the show.

And let me tell ya, it definitely lived up to its title last week!

DCC's fall play is called 

Almost, Maine.

 And it has been so much fun to be a part of.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to 

play the character of Maralyn

and to work with both casts,
but especially my scene partner,
Jared Crowe
and our counter parts
Kieran Cox and Jennie Leski.
They are so talented.
And it has been a blast.

I would like to put out a huge thank you to my amazing director,
Mrs. Keating!
She is so great and has never done anything but encourage me to try my best and to just go out and have fun.



[I guess I never finished this one either.. But I still want to post it because its still memories to remember. :)]

"Fall"ing Fast

Wow. Not gonna lie, 

I am really bummed that I have gotten so bad at blogging.

It was so much fun when Emily was here because we would both blog at the the same time

while watching Gilmore Girls.

Such fun memories.

Prepare yourself for quite the long post,

as it has been over a month since I last blogged.

"Almost, Maine" was a great success.

Lots of fun and of course whats a show without feeling completely exhausted afterwards?

Here are some fun pictures from the show!

Homecoming week was a complete success and lots of fun!

WESTERN DAY:

THE HOMECOMING PARADE:

THE POWDER PUFF GAME:

Seniors won of course!

Shoot. They didnt even need to rig it! 

SWAG:

Alright, SWAG is so much fun!!

It stands for something like "Senior Women Are Great" 

...or something like that!

Haha I dont even know, but basically what happens is

senior girls kidnap a date (in the middle of the night),

who is also a senior and everyone dresses up as the same famous couple,

and you go out to breakfast, 

and you stay dressed up all day!

All of us girls slept over
(well stayed over.. we didnt really get very much sleep.. Haha)
at Carolyn's the night before, except for Sarah Lyman.

So of course I have tons of pictures!

I kidnapped John Karayannis.

We started the morning dark and early!

We went to bed at 1:15am, woke up at 2:00am, 

and hit the road at 3:00am!

I love these girls so much! 

Our first stop was Ryer's house for Stacie!

Then we headed to Kieran's for Sarah!

Next up, John's for me!

Then to Shuster's for Sarah Lyman!

Then all the way to Ryne's house for Anna!

(Hahah their piture are so funny!)

And finally, we headed to Chris's for Carolyn!

And then finally we headed to Ihop for some yummy breakfast!

I think we had the best group!

SWAG was seriously so. much. fun.
So many memories were made!
I feel so blessed to have such fantastic friends!

THE HOMECOMING GAME:

(Tailgating!!)

And of course we have the dance!

So fall flew by and now its Thanksgiving!

How crazy is that, I feel like senior year im

just rolling down hill fast to graduation. It's coming so fast!

So I hope that everyone had a fun filled and safe fall,

and that you are as ready for winter as I am!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!

But seriously, please?

Im tired of the dead grass,

lets cover it with a nice thick blanket of snow shall we??

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!! :)

189

HAPPPY THANKSGIVING BREAK!!!!

So of course this is delayed,
but on November 14
my student body president posted on our
seniors facebook page
and told us that we had 189 days until graduation.
189!!
WOOWOO!!

But now we are down to 182 days!!

I seriously cannot believe that its so close and yet still so far away.
Everyone tells me that after Thanksgiving Break
senior year just flies by.

After break I have a week and a half of school and then
I am going to Denver for ThesCon
which is the 6-8.
When we com back,
we have two days and then its finals,
and then Christmas Break!!

So then after Christmas break,
im just rollin down hill
to graduation.
Ugh. It feels forever away.
Its getting harder and harder to keep working hard.
Senioritis is a killer.

So here we go,
the final stretch up the hill before
we can just start rolling downhill!

Like a 13oss

Heavy

**Okay, so I actually wrote this a while ago, and apparently never finished it..
But oh well, here's what I left off with**

Although senior year has been great,

it has been a lot harder than I 

was expecting.

Dont get me wrong,

my hardest classes are actually my favorite.

AP psych, APES, and theatre,

are so much fun.

And it actually makes me wonder why didnt I take honors or AP classes in the past?

I hate not taking them because all the idiots are in my classes that arent
honors or AP, which

makes me super lack motivation 

simply because I dont wanna go to class let alone do the work.

But this year I am really loving all of my classes

except for Poetic Genres.

Why you may ask?

Well i'll tell you.

You know when you first get your schedule and your thinkin its all pretty great,

but then your getting ready for bed the night before the first day of school,

your thinking about your schedule,

and you think

"Oh man. I hope that tool isnt in my class?"

Oh come on.

We all know someone that we hate havin in class,

and yet. It seems like we always get not only stuck in class with them,

but also sitting next to them in the seating chart.

Well anyways.

In my english class,

we have three of the people that you hate having.

And not only do we have them but we have ALL of their friends as well.

I hate hate hate that class. 

It is like the biggest waste of my time.

But other than that,
I think I am really loving my classes.

But senior year hasnt just been academically hard.

It is really hard to see a friend really struggling.

And to know that you really cant do anything except for pray for them is even worse.

My heart is heavy for my best friend as

she is struggling through this hard time.
But how grateful I am that I know that God knows
each of us and has a plan.
