Well, happy new year everybody!! (and a survey that Jen better do.....)
I hope everyone had a fantastic New Year!! I rang in the New Year outside of an old church in the middle of a feild, drinking cheap wine and listening to The Who with Bryan...I loved it :) I've had a great break...aside from the feelings I've been having, as per expressed in my previous blog...things have really been going great. I've seen a lot of family and I mean A.LOT. I got to see my cousin who just got back from Afghanistan, my neices and nephew whom I haven't seen in a year, AND my uncle Stine who is just plain BRILLIANT. I've also spent a lot of time with Bryan's family who, let's face it, are like my home away from home. It's...wonderful...*sigh*
BUT, probably the best part about break (at least the most surprising) was the REUNION between Ms. Jennifer Stewart (aka Baron Von Awesome) and Ms. Claire Jordan (aka Red)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, it was just so great! I feel like everything in life is right again, you know? Not that I spent sleepless nights wishing we'd all someday be reunited, but I definately thought about them a lot and wished, so desperately, that we could put everything aside and at least talk to one another - all three of us, in the same room..and I couldn't have asked for anything better...honestly. They were my girls, you know!? They were THOSE FRIENDS, the ones you spent all your time with, skipped class with, shared secrets, crushes, heartbreak, stupid moments with...and while nothing can be erased, it's still sooo promising. I have my "rocks" back....I have a REASON to come home to Raleigh...yes!
January is proving to be a very busy month for me. I go back to school on the 11th, start classes on the 14th, audition for TARTUFFE on the 18th (17th?), and audition for Katy Brown on the 19th. THEEEEEN, I take my GRE on the 23rd, then fly off to Chicago on the 31st to audition for graduate schools...PHEW! I'll keep everyone posted.
Ok, it's time for bed. Most def. Hope everyone had a great New Years and I look forward to hearing about all of your lovely 2009 experiences!!
