Hey!
This week was the 1st week of college. I love my theater and math teacher.They are both pretty cool.My English class in online o I haven't met her yet. lol. However. This week I have a theater test to study for on Wednesday and a paper due for English on Tuesday. *groan*
The math course is different. We go to class 2 days a week,but the actual work is done on a online site called, "Aleks." When my mom had to use the Aleks program for school, & she hated it. They have improved it quite a bit since then. (that was about 3 years ago.) So math is just something I have to get on and work on everyday for about an hour. I don't have to, but if I do that I could complete the entire 3 part basic math in one semester instead of 2 or 3. They said it can be done,it just takes a lot of time. To pass this semester you have to have atleast 40 hours total. You get about 3 hours in class every week. So if you put atleast 6-7 hours a week that will be more then plenty. I would really like to get it ALL done this semester. I have until December 12th or so till classes are done.
HAPPY NEWS! Aladdin auditions went well and I am a shopkeeper. :) I am happy I will have a small part in the play.I'm looking forward to the costumes to be honest. lol! I bet they are going to be bright and colorful! Tuesday is the first day of rehearsal. Woohoo!
I will try to update once a week.Between 3 classes at the college,CYT, and other stuff I know I will be swamped. Love you all!

Some people think I'm suicidal...& I think they're right...
HAHA! Ok... Strange title for this one. This one is a brief update on my summer. I did the rip cord at World's of Fun. For those of you out side the KC area World's of Fun is an amusement park. Not as good as SDC but that's my oppinion. Well anywho. They have this thng called the rip cord were they put you in a harness and pull you up about 50 some feet in the air and let ya go! You swing back and forth like a pengalim untill you slow down enough for you grab a rope to stop yourself.It's a BLAST!!!!!! I got a video of it and going to have to have my computer-wiz friend help me put it on you tube! HEHE! (my computer will play it but it won't let me download it so I need help with that.)
This guy got fancy with his video,but this is what it is. >>>>>

Fun thing is..MY MOM did it with me! I was screaming YEEEHHHAAAWWWW through a lot of my ride. HA! It was the funnest thing I ever did in my life! I haven't been a complete dare devil but when I get the chance,I take it! :D Like doing the zip line, rock wall, and the blob at camp a few years back, falling to my "death" in Snow White,sword fighting, etc. I pretty much decided I'm addicted to thrills. lol!
Wow this was ashort post. haha. But it's been such a great summer. My parents both had weird work schedules so it was a tad hard to do too much together but doing weekend stuff when we were able to helped a lot. Over all a very good summer. I hope this fall goes just as well. If I don;t write before next week,a week from Tuesday is auditions for Aladdin! Wish me luck! My last CYT play. I tend to go out with a bang. :) hehe. Love you all. Later!
Live life smiling at the sun, rather than frowning at the shadows.

CYT Footloose Camp
Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow..So much happened. God moved this week.Even in Kansas City at "theater" camp it just goes to prove where ever you are,if you are willing,God will use. I wrote over thirty pages in my journal during the week.I have so much happen to me and those around me. Some pretty amazing times.For sure! Things I learned this week.
Serious stuff.
Dancing by myself to my own beat is okay.
I function better when I'm on set schedule and get my quiet time with God in EVERYDAY!
Some of the people who relate to you the most are the last you suspect.
It takes 30 seconds to find out everything about somebody in a conversation.
That there are more people who have plastered smiles then we care to admit.
Legalism versus Grace and Grace always wins. Second chances truly are for everybody.
I'm not the only one dealing with certain things.
God can use the worse things to help someone else in pain.
Inside Jokes
Oranges,Lemons,and Limes!
The Joker was found saying,"Wanna see a magic trick?" in the "Blueman Video"
"Mer-MAN,Blueman!"
Guys can upstage girls anyday...Especially when it's a "girls only song".

Monday auditions went fairly well.I did do a singing audition for it even though I knew ?I wouldn't get a part.I did it for another singing experience.Did okay I suppose. Not much happened on Monday.We started rehearsing right away.2 hour rehearsal that night.
Tuesday we had our schedule in full swing. Breakfast,morning devotions,rehearsal,lunch,free time,rehearsal,dinner,night activity,night worship,late night free time, lights out and in bed at midnight.By Tuesday I was starting to get to know my 2 other room mates better.Stephanie, 14 and Olivia 16. We usually found something interesting and fun to talk about.We all had brought a CD player and CDs so when we were in our room together we would be rocking out to music. Doing that through the week was a memorable part of it.
Wednesday-the middle day always seems to be the most tiring part of the week.But it's also one of the most fun.Wednesday is the dance night.We usually have a swing dance but this week cause it was a 80 themed week it was a 80 themed night.Everyone dressed up like they were from the 80's. haha. I had bangle bracelets,gloves, etc. At first I was just kinda bopping to the music not really sure what to do.My friends weren't dancing that much and I didn't have anyone to dance with.
Then I prayed,"God, I don't want to be here all night feeling sorry for myself that I don't have a guy to dance with.I've been dancing solo for 18 years.Just me and my girls.It's always been that way, and I'm okay wit that.But I see all these couples dancing and no on is asking me to dance.God,please help me to have a great time and remind me that it's okay to dance to my own beat and by myself...Wait. I'm not alone. I have YOU, and I have my girls...." Then Celebration came on. That was one song I was not sitting out on. So I got up and started dancing not caring.My friends joined me and we had a great time.The rest of the night I was rocking it out with my girls dancing away to just about every song. It was a great night!
Thursday-We had some very long rehearsals. I was so tired by the end of Thursday.Thursday night we filmed our team movies. I was blue team and we had fantasy. Purple was murder mystery, teal was soap opera, and yellow was reality tv. Our was so funny! I could not wait to watch it the next night on Movie Night.Everyone was being top secret about their movie cause everyone wanted theirs to be a surprise.lol.
Friday-Again some crazy rehearsal time.We probably had over 6 hours.But since we had a schedule all week we were getting use to it and weren't as tired on Friday. We had our movie night and every one's movie was so funny! Ours was kind lame but it was fun to film. :) Friday night worship is always a cry fest since its the last night. After worship we sat in a circle and talked about different things we learned at camp and what a great week it was.
Saturday-We got up early and got our rooms organized and cleaned.Stephanie,Olivia and I took our sweet time getting the room done.I was ready to go home,but I wasn't ready to leave my friends. We ran through the show once before leaving for the church where we would hold the performance.We got to the church and ran through the show again and before we knew it, it was time to get dressed and ready for the show. Before the show I was dying to see who all had come from my family, and what other CYTers had come but of course,we weren't allowed to. Sarah Colwell & I were going crazy with boredom.aaaaaahhhhhh.... But the show finally started and we gave it all we had.We were all so hyper you could feel the energy pouring from the stage.
After the show I walked out to the audience and I was instantly tackled by Sarah Reiser. :) She's such a cute lil thing. I love her so much! Then I found my parents and talked to my grandparents before they had to leave. After that I was free to roam around and see who I could find.I got tackled a lot that night. lol. Cause it wasn't long before my friend Shawnie found me and yelled, "MEG!!!" Before rushing over to give me a hug. :) I miss her tons. She's such a good friend and I hadn't seen her since June. Her brother Cole was with her and he told us he had seen 'Footloose' the musical live about 50 times, and he was so impressed with us that we had less than week and that we nailed it! Cole and Shawnie are good friends. :) After I was done talking with them I saw someone to my right that looked like Michael,but told myself it was wishful thinking. Cause one of the guys at camp,Kirk, looked a lot like Michael, and when I saw him from across the room the first time I thought it was Michael. Well I turned all the way toward him and it was him. :) I walked over to say hey to him and he saw me coming and smiled. I was able to talk to him for a lil bit.That was nice surprise. I hadn't seen very many CYTers all summer. We decided to go to IHOP for dinner and lil did we know that is where all the CYTers had deicded to go for dinner as well. HA! It was great. A nice way to end one of the best weeks of my life! I learned so much and was able to spend a lot of time with God. It was so cool!
Well that's all for now. Love you all!
It's okay to have confindence to speak up.It's alright to have the courage to stand out from the crowd. It's fine to dance to your own beat. Just know you are never truly alone with God beside you.
Always,
