Matron of Honor Speech

While cleaning through some old files on my laptop [aka, procrastinating on homework], I stumbled upon the speech I gave at my best friend’s wedding back in March. She and her husband moved to Texas a few weeks back and I’ve been pretty melancholic about it, as I had become pretty accustomed to having my…

Holiday weekend = Challenge!

This post is going to be short and brief, as this is my first “real weekend” in several weeks and it happens to be three glorious days off! I’ve been putting in a lot of overtime lately, between both school and work, and finding very little time to enjoy some of my favorite things, such…

Following my dream.

The other night, on my drive home from work, I gave my mom a call. Don’t worry, I used my bluetooth. Both hands on the wheel, just like Mutti would want. We did the usual chitchat – How was your day? How’s work? Grandma still crazy?  – and then the conversation drifted to me. I…

Yesterday!

I’m known for being a very happy, bubbly personally naturally. Yesterday, however, I’m quite certain I had a smile on my face for every second of the day. It was, quite honestly, one of the best days of my adult life – especially on a professional level. I had the unique opportunity to attend the…

It’s a give-in; it’s going to happen, probably daily, and it’s something that’s part of every day life. Perhaps I’m crazy, but I love rainy days! Not only are…

Queen of Procrastination

Have you ever noticed that when you have a project due, you somehow find EVERY EXCUSE POSSIBLE to delay working on it? I am supposed to turn in the final draft of a feature length screenplay for class tonight – at midnight. So far this week, I’ve detailed my car [I’ve had it since September…

Am I a bona fide actress now?

I was officially in my second student film this evening! And I had more than one line! Pretty sure that makes me a professional. I’ll work on mailing out those autographed headshots as soon as I can, folks, so please be patient. In all seriousness, that was an incredible evening! Over four hours, seven actors,…

Work Laptop = Broken

So… I dropped my laptop off to our IT Dept yesterday afternoon for some “updates,” which I was told would take about sixty minutes. After an hour, I received a call notifying me of some “snags,” which would result in them needing another hour or two. That hour or two turned into them notifying me…
