Color Outside The Lines

Well. I haven't posted in a while. Call it Blogger's Block, or whatever you want... Not knowing if my posts were even worth posting. But at this point, I just need to document (even if it's just for myself and no one else cares at all...though it'd be a plus if you all found my posts interesting!) what's gone on in my life lately.

School at Trinity is going really well. I haven't looked back once. I'm more comfortable with myself and who I really am rather than what certain people wanted me to be. I'm interning at Great Lakes Theater Festival. It's amazing. Today I got to work with 5 actor-teachers who go around to different schools for week long residencies and teach elementary school kids the fundamentals of acting. So, basically, me and a bunch of adults got to act like fourth graders while someone practiced teaching us. I laughed so hard so many times. It was great. It also reminded me how much we can learn from children. We talked about The Giving Tree and whether you can over-give and how important showing gratitude is. It was really interesting to see this room full of adults talking seriously about things that children are taught. I loved it.

It's been hard adjusting without John here. He came home on Labor Day weekend (which was AWESOME because my birthday was on Labor Day.) and we went to a concert, hung out at my house, and just had a great time. I am so lucky. AND I get to go down to Cincinnati this Saturday and Sunday to visit him and see another concert (GLEN HANSARD!!! He wrote the music for the movie/musical Once that I posted about a while back) and so I can meet his friends. It'll be great, but it'll also be strange. The only college campus I've been on is Baldwin Wallace University's (yeah, they're a university now!!) and I'm not big on the whole being around party "animals" and stuff. But we'll see how it goes. The timing of this trip is perfect since tomorrow is John and my third anniversary. Crazy, but absolutely amazing. I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend :)

I'm loving the weather right now, too! It's chilly, but not freezing, and the perfect weather for jeans and a hoodie. It's my favorite time of year. I love autumn.

Nothing else all that exciting is going on, but it's gonna be a great rest of the year, and I think John and I are gonna make things work out just fine. So I'm really anxious (in a good way) to see where God takes me for the rest of the year.

God bless you all and I hope you're having a great September! :)
