Hello.

Hello. How are we today?

I'm doing alright, thanks. I'm on a week's vacation between school semesters. Of course I've been meaning to write this semester, but it was too packed with non-bloggy stuff. 

School's been crazy and I have to tell you, peeps, I'm a different gal. This semester had all kinds of highs and lows, successes and ...whatever.

So, this blog is going to be about: What kind of person are you?

When someone bothers you, do you take action?

When you take action, do you take it immediately?

When you take action, do you bring others on board?

When you take action, do you wish you could un-take it?

Are you spreading the poison of futility when you let off steam?

Is it better not to give it the power of a voice?

Are you truly looking for support and understanding when you talk it over with friends?

I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Maybe I'll let you know how it goes.

Other than that...I had some lovely successes this semester as well: I was the only 2nd semester student invited to present at the Final Demo for school. I sang my classical song. Hooray for me! It was fun! I learned nine new songs this semester for musical theatre! (Compare that to last semester's three songs) I saw [title of show] five times, including the first preview and closing night and every single time, I was both moved and fortified to continue with this dream of a performer's life. I made some nice friends that I didn't have last semester. We moved to a great new apartment that will pretty much change the way we experience New York. I'm also a new library manager at school. Yee Haw! Oh, and I'm totally in love with my gay dance teacher. He's the lovely calm in my school-life storm.

I guess that about sums up this semester. Shawn and I are just getting it done, day by day. She's amazing and totally the reason I can succeed here. If you don't already know her, you should get to know her. She's the real deal.
