So the last blog on here is also my first! Not to worry, this one fixes that problem. This semester has been AMAZING! So many things have just worked perfectly in my favor.
First, this picture was taken in my sister’s beloved cranberry Saturn, Hermie. We were driving from SLC to Vegas. All the landscape basically looks the same, but just then for whatever reason it felt magical, like good things were coming my way. “water from the rocks, a sign!”
The play I wanted to work with was mysteriously still without an assistant stage manager, and I was offered the position! I love it so much! It is all about the stories of really strong women and what they had to go through in order to get across the plains. Being assistant stage manager means that even though the actors feel like they are there forever, I am there way longer than them! I couldn’t do it if I didn’t love it. It takes a lot of dedication to spend a minimum of four hours just on the play every day, but I cherish it. Some of my friends outside the theatre don’t understand my willingness to be there so often and for so long, but I don’t just do theatre because it’s fun. I am involved in the theatre because I must be. I love it so much that I couldn’t do anything else for the rest of my life and be truly happy.
GEOVISIONS CONVERSATION CORPS-GERMANY!!
I am so excited! In January I pack my bags and move to Germany for three months. I will live with a host family and teach English in their home 15 hours a week. I hope they like me! This seems almost too good to be true, but it is true. For anyone who knows me, this is not my first “rodeo” with Germany. No, my love affair with Germany began years ago, when I learned that I would be able to visit my first exchange sister Lisa in Heidenheim, DE. For those of you familiar with German geography, Heidenheim is a small town near Stuttgart. When I arrived it was like going home, but home to a place I had never been. It was as though I had been meant to be there my whole life but had just forgotten about it for a moment!
But I digress.
O mystery Host family, whoever you are, I can’t wait to meet you!
