Rocky Horror


Hello Awesome people!
This week has been pretty crazy.  We had a snowstorm and I got to see someone experience being in snow for the first time! It was wonderful.
I’ve been feeling pretty sick lately, but everyone has been very understanding which is such a beautiful experience.
Tonight I am going to go see “Rocky Horror Picture Show.”  I am so excited and scared at the same time….
I spent most of this week trying to recover form being sick.  I’m in a musical and we’ve started tech week so it’s really important that I take care of my health.
My current remedy:
-       lots of vitamin C
-       Zinc
-       Tea with lots of honey
-       Hot water with lemon and honey
-       Orange juice
-       Oranges
-       Citrus
-       More vitamin C
-       More more tea
It may not be perfect, but I’m a college student and it’s working out well enough.
I’ll let you all know how “Rock Horror” went!

Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy was crazy.
My home is currently without power, water, everything.
I am at college, and am grateful to have power and internet back.
Classes have been cancelled for the entire week.
We actually went on lockdown on Sunday at 11:30 pm and got to go out of our building Tuesday afternoon.
Today is Awesome because I have power and internet and I am going to comedy classes and lectures regarding Dante's Inferno.
You are all awesome people!

For the Longest Time

Hello everyone!
It has been over a month, in fact, it has been over two months since I have posted in this blog.
When this blog was created, I stated that I would write and post weekly.
I did not do this, and I would like to acknowledge the impact it had on this community.
Not keeping my word means that I am out of integrity, and that is starting to become more and more apparent in my life.
Therefore, I am recommitting to writing at least once a week.
I'm in college now, and now that I am two months in, I am positive that I have picked the right college.
I am taking both dancing and acting classes as well as an Environmental Chemistry class and an Mythology course.
I am meeting lots of new people and having lots of fun getting used to this new community.
College has really helped point out areas in my life where there is room for growth.
I have to clean my section of my room at least once a week because it gets crowded with clothes, library books and food.
Also, the idea of freshman 15 scares me!!!! The game I am taking on is not checking me weight at all.
I joined the cross country team, so hopefully I have gained weight due to the fact that muscle weighs more than fat.  Therefore, checking my weight would be pointless.
Checking my weight would be pointless anyway, because weight doesn't mean anything, it's all about how you feel about your body.
Today is Awesome because I acknowledging to the world that I am self-concious about my body, but I KNOW that I am beautiful. I no longer fish for compliments or say that I hate my body because I have an amazing body and I am now working on not worrying about how I look all the time, or questioning whether something makes me look a certain way because I look perfect just the way I am. ^_^
YOU ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL!
I only have one class on Wednesday so I will be updating this blog every Wednesday.
You are all amazing.
