My life in a nutshell.

Well, my life since the musical has been a little on the unusual side.

I went to school Monday thru Wednesday the week following the musical. I attended Crossroads, my church’s college bible study, on Wednesday night and we had a night full of games and laughs. Thursday and Friday we did not have class because we had Fall Break. Thursday thru Sunday night I spent a majority of the time studying for a biology exam Monday the 15th. I earned a 91% on that exam. I say earned because I worked my butt off. The rest of this week I have spent recovering from my “lack of sleep” over the weekend.

Tonight, my sister and I are going to a theater production at our school. I am going for extra credit in one of my classes. I have to write a two paragraph response paper about the production, but it will still be a fun night. A couple of our friends are going to be there as well.

Wednesday my baby brother turned 10.Sad smileHe was the last one in our family to be in the single digits.

At the moment, this is all I have to talk about right now. I might post later, but as you all know, I might not be able to keep that promise. Therefore, I will not make it.

Les Mis Performance

I remember going to see Les Mis live. I only wish I could have seen a professional troupe.


When I went to see the movie, I fell head-over-heels for the music and story line all over again.






Last night was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
I have loved the music of Les Mis ever since I started listening to the music and started watching the 25th anniversary performance.
We watched the performance in Springfield. For the small size of the theater and the fact that in Springfield does not have many professional musicians, therefore most, if not every, actor is a volunteer, they did an amazing job.
We were able to set right up front. In the second and third rows on the far left. Therefore we were able to see everything very well.
I cannot wait until the movie comes out this winter. As I stated earlier, I have watched the 25th anniversary performance and each time I have watched it, as well as seeing the performance last night, my desire to watch it has increased every time.
Well, for now I am out of topics to blog about.

My life so far…………

Hello out there. Strange to see that I am back again in the blogging world. For all of my faithful followers who have not given up on me, I thank you for being patient for the long wait between posts.

Well, school is going well and the semester is almost half over. The half way mark might have already come, but I have other more important items on my plate to think about than how much of the semester I have left to go.

Tomorrow is going to be fun. This week is homecoming week at school. Tomorrow is the big parade and football game. With the yucky weather we have been having the past few days, tomorrow is going to look the same.

Then, later in the evening, several of my family members and I will be going to see a local production of Les Mis. I am super excited! I have recently become obsessed with this musical and cannot wait until I get to see it live. Not to mention that this coming December, I think, the movie will be coming out.

Wednesday in my World Literature class, I had to give a presentation over Chinese Poetry. It was my first shot at teaching English to people in the age range that I will eventually be teaching. Once I graduate that is. The good thing is, everything I had in my presentation, my professor regurgitated again when he went up to finish the lecture for the day. This fact in and of itself makes me have more confidence that this is the right direction I am to take for my life profession wise. Not to mention that I enjoyed every minute of preparation and actual presenting time I had to do. I used a power point in my presentation, and one of the slides I had was just for an overview of what I was going to talk about. When I had just finished this slide, my Professor asked me if I was going into the education or pastoral field. When I answered with education, he stated that the way I had ordered my slides up to that point was the way that someone in the education field would do it. Let us just say that I was pretty happy with this news.
