Hello, friends of mine!
I'm doing well, nearly in the beginning of the conclusion of my high school days. Haha! I'm looking forward to that part of it, but everything else regarding school sounds extremely unappealing to me at the moment! Longing thoughts of summer days at Rockin' C easily manage to taint my excitement for the weeks to come. I find myself wanting to go back in time instead of forward, but I know this year has great things ready to happen! Though unappealing, school doesn’t sound miserable. College Algebra should strike a chord of fear in me, but I actually feel somewhat excited! After trudging through geometry last year, algebra seems - for lack of a better word - fun! I must be crazy.
Nutcracker auditions happen in three weeks and my excitement about it has expanded overnight! I'm so ready for wintertime and the Nutcracker brings back wonderful memories from last year’s holiday season. Having snow on our opening night, riding with Sarah Nicholas and Hannah Lockard, spending an afternoon soaking our feet in painfully hot and then ice cold water at Julia’s house.. I'm looking forward to another year of crazy dancers, long rehearsals, extensive costume fittings, and hysterical memories.
I can’t wait to have overcast days, with the more than occasional rain. The leaves, rather than being on the trees, will be flying around the sky and in piles on the ground that I will take great pleasure in jumping in. Yes, I know it is only August, which should be way too early for me to be looking forward to reading in front of a fire, but I’m excited all the same. I've discovered that many times it is the anticipation of an event rather than the actual happening of it that is best.. so I no longer attempt to stop my happy expectancy of things to come.
This year I'm a baby senior having skipped a grade.. benefits of being home-schooled. I'm also a freshman in college! Hopefully with two year's of dual-credit classes I will have at least completed my freshman year. My schedule at the junior college is pretty chill I guess, but with four dance classes to teach and many to take in addition to various other things I'll be very busy.
Thinking of the craziness to come sometimes overwhelms me, but verses from the Bible such as "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and knowing God wouldn't give me more than I can handle restores my confidence. I know that I am competent in most things, and where I am not, He is.
Now, as it is precisely 1:38 A.M. in the morning, I must stop writing. I've been sleepy for hours and yet here is where I've been the whole time; in the living room, sitting on the couch, with my head in a towel, my jammies on, and a Macbook in front of me. My bedtime has come and been gone for a long while now and I do believe it is time to get some rest before church in a few hours.
Goodnight!
