NYC-PA

So I am home in Maine once again.

NYC was great. Our shows went off without a hitch. There was not too much drama which is always nice. The group was well behave and we didn't get into to much trouble. I meet with one of the directors that I am working with this summer. She is really nice and I can't wait to start working in PA. I have been working on a lot of little things at home for the summer but it will seem more real when I am actually at the theatre.

I went to Rhode Island yesterday with Dad. He had a job interview for the Director of the Warwick, RI tech school. He got a call back to come down on Monday. So I will be hitting the road again on Monday. I am planning on going to Freeport on Thursday and will get Carla so she can party with me on Friday night....

I THEN LEAVE ON SATURDAY!!!

I cant wait to get to PA. Its gonna be a great road trip!!! I can't wait...

Thats it for now... More update when I get there...

Early Morn for the Crazy in Me

I leave for the airport at 4:00 am for NYC until Sunday. I am really excited for the festival!!! It will be a blast. It should be a lot of fun between the people who are going down and the things that we get to do. NYC is the best-- but by the end of the week i think i will be ready to go... thats why i wanted to work at a theatre in a smallish size town for the summer-- but when i graduate i think i will be ready for a larger town and larger shows... I think Providence might really be the future town of choice... I like Rhode Island and would like to stay near family....

So i wont have a computer for the week that i am gone so comment and send me messages...

LOVE you ALL

Its not as easy as it looks!

Today I finished reading Rebound and Gagged-- This should be a very interesting show for both the audience and especially my grandparents who are coming down to see it. I have one more to read before I leave on Wed. Then I have to re-read them to create shift plots, costumes, and prop lists.... I love this part of the theatre where i get to spend quality time with a script.

I cant wait for NYC showcase. Not only is my show going-- but 2 other great shows are going and we are gonna rock the Sargent Theatre. We are going to see Curtains and i think i am gonna try to rush MacBeth-- it has great reviews.

I read some of my Ghana book today and learn the number one cause of death outside of illness in Ghana is hippos-- (you should not get between a hippo and its water or it will stamped you-- it gets a great amount of fear when there is something in the way of its water). This is very good knowledge i think-- something i might not have wanted to know--- but there are many things that are just gonna be a part of the experience. I am ready for new and exciting things-- I like danger and like the unknown...but i like unknown planning.

I think thats it for now...

Is this home?

Is this really home? I will be home for four days and then I am off to NYC for the week-- I leave at 4am on Wed morning and will be back Sunday evening...

I do not have much to do besides reading scripts for the rest of the time that I am home this round.
I bought some books about Ghana and Africa last night. I also did a lot of shopping for Pennsylvania today-- starting to get things together...

Nathan and Issac came over today-- he is getting so big... Issac that is...

I am feeling a little better but I am still stuffed up... I hope I get better before NYC. And all of a sudden my back is killing me, I think it is from coughing to much...

Well not much else to report on...

Home sweet Home?

So I am home in Maine.... I really don't know what Home is anymore and I think as time goes I will really never have a clear picture of what Home is....

Yesterday I woke up with no voice and felt like crap... I am feeling better but my voice keeps cracking and grossness.

We made good time yesterday traveling from New Haven to Maine. I did a ton of work today on getting laundry done and organizing my stuff for Pennsylvania and for the end of the summer because time is of the essence.

I went to Portland today with Adam-- we had a good time. We did a little shopping and then had a nice dinner.

Thats all for now!

Fun Last Night of the Semester! But the Tears are there

Tonight was fun. Keilan, Steve, Mega B and I went to Kumo a Japanese Steakhouse-- A new experience for both Keilan and Mega. I think they liked it! We did have a fun time. We then headed to Ikea for Mega's first time. I was the only one who bought things but that is okay. Its the memories that we made tonight that will live longer then the things bought and the food ate. We returned to room 511-- Which is very empty and lonely, even last night was very lonely... and now that everything of Keilan's is gone and everything but my laptop and bedding is packed i feel like i am in jail.... but so we came back and I got a heart filled road trip bag full of snacks and of course two CDs that i requested so i can have music for the road trip. I have 77.7% of the CDs that was requested according to the math genies (Steve).... The other 33.3% are people from home that i haven't seen yet-- and i didn't expect them to mail them to me because i am going home tomorrow.

I got my packet from Dr. Olson-- i skimmed it but didn't read it word for word because i will do that in the car ride-- I downloaded and printed a few things at the library today but now the book hunting starts-- and i dont think library books will cut it.... lol...These two pictures are the few that I can find of the University of Ghana...

For those who do not know Ghana is in Africa-- on the West Horn. The University is about 15 minutes outside of Accra which is the capitol.



So you may ask why Ghana? I wanted to study abroad for a long time. I thought about South Africa in High School- But that never happened. I am only getting older and who knows what opportunities will come in the future. I as most of you know do not like the beaten path but the one less traveled. Ghana is natural. Ghana is reserved. Ghana is peaceful. Cities are nice but i wanted the opportunity to see a land that has not been commercialized and taken over by the corporation that we have almost everywhere else in the world. People take everything around us for granted. Can't we sit back and take a minute and be thankful for what we have? So my goal is to see what i believe, what i want in life, what the meaning of life is (i know its a stretch but this might help.) I want to be able to look back on my life and know that i did the things that I WANTED to do.... so if you have any questions let me know--- i might not have an answer today (7 months before i leave) but hopefully a year from now coming home i can answer questions in a different enlightened way.

So this is the beginning i promise of at least weekly updates--- and also what is going on else where in my life...
