i'd give ANYTHING to perform cats one more time.  just about anything.  it was one of the best experiences of my life, and has created the beginning to the best summer of my life.

so basically, i love life.

that's all for now =)

knowledge is power.

looking back on my past entries, i've realized how much i love to write.  especially about my views on the world and what i've learned.  out of every experience i have, i remark on things that have affected me and how they have changed me.  it's really a remarkable experience to look back on past entries and remember how i was feeling at that very moment when i wrote something.  i can relate and even learn things about myself.  i can remember that i've felt this exact same way before, and know that everything will be okay.

i am so fortunate. 

last night, i got 2 calls.  one from grease, one from cats.  grease wanted me as the part of rizzo, and cats as the part of demeter.  both are very large roles with featured songs, dances, acting, etc.  i feel like i've touched on some sort of realm.  i am in a point in my life where i have been given the opportunity to showcase my talents, in school, in panhellenic, in the greek community, in theatre.  others believe in me.  and that is one of the best feelings, i have come to learn, in the world. 

not knowing is sometimes unbearable. 

but, i've heard that knowing nothing is better than knowing at all.  ignorance is bliss... but is it really?  i think that understanding what's going on around you allows you means to overcome it.  how can you deal with a problem if you ignore it? 

days will be days, weeks will be weeks.  time is fleeting, and i plan on taking each moment as it comes and passes.  i plan for the future, but i want to live for today.  is that too much to ask?  hope not. 

i have lots of things going on in my mind right now, a little out of whack, but, that's me.  :)  congratulations to all of those doing the park this summer!!  please let me know what parts you got/what show you are in!  being in cats and grease is going to be freaking busy, but west-side-party-style times TWO.  and i can't wait.

xoxo:  n a e .

just a day, just an ordinary day.

i am just so happy right now.

it's amazing how a beautiful, bright, delicately-breezed, stressfree can put you in such a great mood.  while listening to my favorite song ever: hide and seek, i just walked through the beautiful campus of ku on my way home from class, and i couldn't help but smile at everyone walking past me.  i stared up to the sky, and just took a deep breath.  it was simply a great feeling... to feel free. 

i made "rules" for myself, and a lot of people know what i am talking about, but for those that don't... just rules to make my life healthier and richer.  following them everyday, i get a check mark.  if i don't, i dont get a check mark for that day.  may sound juvenile, but so far, it's the only thing that really keeps myself in check in regards to the subject of the "rules." 

i do not go out on weekdays.  at least that's what i tell everyone.  i have 8 am class, i really can't... well, shouldn't.  but, last night there was a "sign-in" party at the ranch for rock chalk.  a portion of your cover charge is donated to united way (rock chalk revue, basically), and you can sign in for your organization.  i mean, i had to represent dg and get some points for our show!! :)  it was a blast, because no one was there, and me and the girls won the karaoke contest!  i sang summer nights (oooo grease this summer!!!!!) with tommy, the best danny i could have asked for, hah.  and a couple of my girlfriends were the t-birds/pink ladies.  it rocked!  then i sang FAME (goes out to all my lovely ttip ladies and gentlemen).  then, us girls sang "tearin' up my heart" by *nsync.  it pretty much rocked.  and, then the manager handed us $50 dollars!  it was pretty much amazing, and so much fun.

this weekend?  a little outting with some greek ambassadors on friday, and then all day saturday i am going to watch my sister's volleyball tournament con mi madre!  i am so excited, she's growing up so fast...

this was a long update, but there's been a lot going on!  a lot of goooood things :)

OHH, and Rock Chalk Revue is March 9, 10, 11.  Call 785-864-SHOW for ticket information!  Please come support our show (DG-Phi Psi), and support United Way!  Oh, and you'll get to see me sing and dance and act... what could be better?  =)  love you all!

i'm leaving for chicago tomorrow, and i can't wait!  i'm just seriously looking for an outlet AWAY from ku.  you know when you just get tired of seeing certain people?  yeah, well it's a chance to get away for a couple days, and spend it with the most incredible group of people i have ever met.  seriously.  i love panhellenic/ifc, what what?!?  :)

p.s.     you're my favorite.

this is not the end, it is only the beginning (again).

we don't have much                 room                   to live

we were all in love (again) and we all got hurt (again).  and it's quite alright, we learn from our experiences and it shapes our character. 

here's to starting over (again).
