I feel like so much of life is spent trying to find closure with something. If it's not one thing, it's another. I don't want to really be here anymore. The thing that has made this trip really worth while is seeing The jam and Kaley and again. And my dad can be pretty great too. But I feel like some friends that I thought I was really close to, have just drifted away. And I can't understand how that happened. And it makes me sad to see it happen. This is not where I belong anymore. Come to think of it, is UT where I even belong? Am I sure that I''m in the right place? On more then one occassion I've thought about transfereing. Would that be a right decision? CFU has always been a school that has really sparked an interest with me. And yet, I can't seem to be able to bring myself to leave. I have my reasons. But are they the same reasons that seemed to have betrayed me since I got home? I think I am in the right place b/c I am learning alot, but you can't just help but think sometimes what might also be out there to offer you. I'm very thankful for what I have, and what I've learned, and it has defintly molded me into who I am today.
On another note: I saw the controversial Brokeback Mountain today. And by controversial, I really mean only between two of my favorite people. ;) I liked the movie. I don't think it's one of my FAVORITE movies, but it was good, and there was some high quality acting. I think it got kind of a slow start, and some things just didn't add up too well, or make too much sense, but overall, I think it was good. I don't want to say too much else, b/c I don't want to give anything away, if anyone hasn't seen it yet. But I think it's definitly worth seeing. Oh and after it had ended, the Jam and I snuck into the Producers, which had only been going for 1/2 an hour. I think that's a good movie too. I really like the idea of musicals being made into movies- it gets the general public more exposed to them, and then gets them interested into going to the theatre.
And speaking of the theatre- my trip to NYC was a lot of fun. My highlights were definitly seeing Natale, Justin and Jen and being able to hang out with them in the big apple. Natale and I saw Spelling Bee w/ my mum, and he and I won the lottery to Dirty Rotten Scoundrals (unfortunatly Norbert's understudy was on, which made me very sad), and then we saw Wicked with Jen and my aunt. My mom and I saw The Woman in White, and we also so The Color Purple with Jen. 4 out of 5 shows were amazing! Can you guess the loser? If you guessed The W in W, then you'd be correct! Don't bother- it's pretty dumb. But after Spelling Bee, I think I have another dream role to pursue, which would be Olive, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrals was just awesome! I adore Sherie Renee Scott- amazingness! Wicked was just as good as ever, thnough I'll admit, while I don't have a problem w/ Soshana, I miss Idina in that part. Same goes for Kristin, but newcomer Megan Hilty pleasantly surprised me. If The Color Purple doesn't move you,, then you have no heart. There are two female duets in it that I fell in love with, so I can't wait for the sheet music to come out, let alone the CD.
I am ready to go back to Tampa, just trying to prepare myself for everthing that's to come. It's a new start, and I want to try to make the best of it.
