One score and nine days ago....

I posted last....
That is 29 days by the way....
I chose that title because today was inauguration day.... I know dorky and thematic...

Sorry it has been forever. Hope everyone (like I have that large of an audience) had a nice holiday season! I had a lovely holiday season...I will now tell you about it....I will, however, refrain from going into too many details. If I were to do so, no one would want to read because it would be dreadfully long. I know...you're hurt....but you will heal in time.

Well, when I left you I was in Las Vegas, it had snowed, I didn't have a room (but that wasn't a bad thing), Lindsey and Kris were planned to drive out on the 27th, we were hoping for Mamma Mia! tickets and the guy who lives under us hated us.....

Well....... Christmas came and went...just another day on the calendar, not a bad thing. Especially when you are going through some tough financial times...but I got a digital camera (Yay, finally) and the Mamma Mia dvd!!!!!!! On the 27th Lindsey and Kristen did, in fact, drive out. That night we went and saw Doubt (Great movie in my opinion). On the morning of the 28th we got the tickets for Mamma Mia! and went and saw it that evening.

OMG- the best show I have ever seen...(Lion King on Bway was also awesome). Mamma Mia! is by far my favorite musical. This was an experience that words cannot describe. I just hope that I get to see it when I go to New York in May (will talk about that in a bit)

On the 29th I drove back to AZ with the girls. I stayed with Lindsey for about 5 days. Went to her godmother's house for new year's eve....and then to Kristen's at midnight to ring in the new year....

On the 4th I went to Allison's for the week. We had dinner at Grandma's, that was hilariously fun! That Friday night was Grandma's birthday party at Macayos. The entire week I was at Allison's all we really did was play Mario Cart Wii.....and board games....it was great!

I then went back to Lindsey's on that Sunday.....and we prepared to go to Tucson on the 13th.

In Tucson, I went and saw the comedian Jeff Dunham with Allison and her sister. It was great!

Came back to Gilbert that weekend. Stayed with Allison again. This past Sunday we went to RAGE fest (An all day concert...where several christian groups perform)....it was so much fun! We got to meet the band members (some of which were really HOT!).... Allison post those pics!!!!! I also got in some serious headbanging....... just call me "HB...Head banger" (mamma mia reference...sick I know!). The next morning we had some serious ragefest hangovers...lol

Monday I returned to campus and was reunited with Amanda! Missed her over break! Hopefully she will be my roommate in a few weeks!

Classes started today....
I had Playwriting, costuming (lecture) and History....
So far...AWESOME!

In costuming we are going to work 4 weeks on makeup effects...old age and gore (my absolute fav!). Then we get to put bullet holes on ourselves....and other prosthetics...we get to make out own! How cool is that?!!! We also have to take a piece of artwork and put recreate it on our faces using makeup techniques! After makeup we will learn basic sewing techniques. After that section we get to makes masks and puppets!!!! It sounds so cool! I am really excited!

In Playwriting, my first assignment is to write a three minute (app. 3 pages) play with these guidelines...."The worst play ever"! That is due next Tuesday. I am really anxious for this class...I am really into writing now....

History seemed overwhelming at first...reading 85 pages a week....but he said it isn't as bad as it sounds and he is a really easy teacher and gives easy tests and assignments...so yeah!

Tomorrow I have Movement and English. Normally on Wed. I have my costuming lab...but they start next week.

I am nervous about movement. The professor is very successful in the business and seems a bit intimidating...but I hear he is one of the best on campus and this his classes are amazing. So I am rather excited too...

I plan to post every day or every other day again. So, keep checking for new updates.

Hopefully this wasn't too long.... Oh, also, I have pictures (if you haven't seen them) from my break uploaded on my Myspace and Facebook....

Until we meet again...

Bon Appetit!
