Get ready for my stream of consciousness post. I am alive. Yet, I feel like I shouldn't have made it through last week. I don't think I've felt stress like that in a long time. Last week was extremely crazy due to a number of reasons, but most of my stress originated on getting ready for my piece in Artist Speak. I wrote and directed and multi-media and theater piece for a portion of LMU's Bellarmine Forum. Despite all my stress, it went really well on Saturday. I got a lot of complements and Campus Ministry wants me to perform it again in some sort of service. So I'm really excited about that. Now, even though I should be stressed with all the up coming work I have to do, I am surprisingly at peace. I'm actually, as weird as it sounds, excited to work on my two research papers. One of them is for my communication class...I'm exploring the relationship between entertainment levels and agenda setting in the news. Anyways, I'm starting to sound like a total dork. But I guess it's good I enjoy writing papers for my major. I can't believe it's almost the end of this semester...just the fact that I have to start looking for new classes is crazy. I am going to a Laker game with my Dad on Wednesday so that should be a lot of fun. I am also really looking forward to ASLMU's Thanksgiving Dinner this Thursday - it's one of my favorite events that my committee puts on! Lately I've been really missing my friends from home. Not entirely sure why...but I really got homesick a little bit ago. However, it was really nice to see my family last night. They came up to LA to see me and take me out to dinner - I honestly don't know what I'd do without them. I've had a lot on my mind the past two weeks and I hope God gives me an answer soon. I want to see him...but I can't, and it's killing me. All I can do is dream for the time being. On a much lighter note I am obsesed with the Sisterhood books...I'm almost done with the third one. I owe it to my sister for getting me to read them. And I'm freakin excited for Rent to come out. Okay, I should probably go work on my homework now...but I just needed to get out some of the things I've been thinking about...maybe I'll post more later when I need another distraction.
