i wish i could get down to business and make note of everything that's going on with me, inside and out, but i don't really know where to start. things are crazy already and getting crazier. i'm getting more involved at the catholic student center this semester, which makes me really happy. i'm getting to know more people there... positive, good people worth knowing.... and i'm going to make an effort in my involvement to learn about catholicism and decide what is to me and what importance it has in my life. i've been pretty hazy about that for a long time, and i'm tired of it. so i'm glad i'm finally taking some initiative with it.
what else...? i'm a photography major, and i'm so unsure of myself that anytime anything goes wrong, i freak out at least a little bit and wonder if it's a sign that i'm not meant to be doing photo. i think i just need to sprout some balls and get over myself. i 've decided i'm just going to see how things go this semester, and if i'm not completely satisfied and/or in love with photo after that, i'll do something else.... probably switch into artsci and do costume.
until then, i'll just have to be content with taking drama classes and designing costumes for escape from happiness. we had our first production meeting on thursday morning, and it was really nice to get things started. i'm meeting with the director on tuesday to discuss costumes more thoroughly. he seems like he'll be good to work with.... he seems very nice and enthusiastic in a soft-spoken, intense kind of way. i dont' know.... something about him reminds me of mr. beard, one of my english teachers and play directors from high school. my mom has made her flight arrangements to come down for the first weekend the show runs.... i think my sister wants to do the same. it will be nice to have them around.
i'll be going back to sodak for kendra's wedding at the end of october. it's hard to believe she's getting married.... i hope she's happy, and i hope that marriage makes her even happier. it should be a fun weekend that involves a kind of mini camp reunion with jia, josh, possibly brock, and hopefully heath, too. i guess we'll see. but i'm really looking forward to it, even if i just see kendra, jia, and josh.
i guess the other thing going on.... or, more appropriately, probably not going on, is the ambassador trip to greece. i really want to go, but there's no way i'll have money for it. plus, i just got the information on thursday, and the first payment is due tomorrow.... i've been trying to get a hold of heath, but it's pretty much impossible. i don't know what good it will do, anyway, because i don't anticipate him offering to foot my bill, and i don't even know that there's a need for me if ambassadors' moms are going.... so i can't try the "you need me, so pay for me" notion which i'd been hoping for.... i'm bummed. i'd much rather hit a beach in greece in the middle of winter than spend the whole time in balmy sodak. maybe i'll try heath one more time and see what happens....
all right. so there's the update, sparingly descript as it is. i'm not typing very well anymore tonight, so i'd best be done. i did get a lovely lovely scarf from anna this weekend, and it makes me very happy. so thank you much. that's all i've got. i'm out.
