Senior year thus far has been a whirlwind of activity. Sharma is an amazing English teacher, Onen is precious, theatre is insanely busy and I'm having a lot of fun with my social life. Friday was Theatre's first ethnic food friday of the year, and I LOVE "Tu Hai". Very yummy and very inexpensive. After we watched Kill Bill at Steve's house. I'm proud of her this year already. She's done an awesome job of being an active and optimistic participant in life instead of the routine of observing and lamenting. I think Junior year took a toll of her morale ... but it's okay because it's over now! Saturday I went salsa dancing with the show choir and tonight I went to Karaoke night at the local coffee house. I have rehearsals and baby sitting tomorrow and performances all this weekend. Whoo! Homework has not been too unmanageable and "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron is going to be something great, I can just tell. I've been working on sorting out some of my ideas, and the last time Steve and I went to Starbucks I pretty much dictated the whole plot of my business-man-pin-up-girl-thelma-and-louise-story. Yeah ... it's strange. But talking through an idea always helps me out a whole lot more than trying to flesh it out on the page right off the bat. Oh ... I almost forgot, I made Homecoming court? ... weird. I'm not the popular/cheerleader/homecoming type. Mr. Williamson says (in his hippie trippy drama teacher way)in response to my bewilderment to success in a popularity contest: "People like you because you're a good person ... you're special and you're just you." 'Twas a nice compliment. I try to be kind to everyone and I don't pay much attention to social classes or any of that, so I guess it feels sort of nice to have the quirky Underdog represented on the Homecoming court in suburban Texas. haha ... I'm so tired and I have to get up early tomorrow and wait in line for a parking permit as well as finish my French homework and study my lines for "Here I Am". Theatre is overwhelming this year with all the projects already. My-oh-my. Here are some pictures:
Salsa Dancing. It's hard to see me but I'm on the right, behind the two boys in front.
Tu Hai!
After Ethnic Food Friday and most people left Steve's. Just making funny faces with the boys.
Anna and I pose with the kids table as we await karaoke!
Her name is Chloe and she's a second grade cowgirl who sings a mean karaoke!
I am loved. =]
