Well hello there,
I hope you haven't missed me much. What an intense hiatus. You would not believe the amount of pressure that I have had to endure over the past two weeks. The Kolob Canyon Review is finally in print, there was so much work to do for it, but fortunately it has all been completed. My show for SOAP Fest opens this Friday, and I'm worried about portraying my character in a believable fashion. I am so behind in my Creative Writing class. It seems that I will never catch up. But I know that I will find time to do all of the homework that I'm missing somehow. General Conference this weekend was phenomenal, even though I was not able to watch every session.
I had a very interesting talk about life and religion with one of my friends Dan yesterday. It wasn't expected or planned. Carrie Colton and I were grabbing a quick dinner before going to the library to search for who might have the rights to The Musical of Musicals for a production we are looking into for Stage 2 next year, and just as we were about finished with our meal Dan came to sit at our table. It was a moment for both Carrie and I to talk about our concerns of taking on new positions in the Stage 2 board, and to talk about how our lives were going. Somehow we began to talk of religion, and how it has affected the people that we are today. Both Carrie and Dan shared some very personal experiences with me that made me feel so grateful to be in a department where we can trust in one another. I have found that when put in situations where I am with those of my department I feel safe, as if we are all concerned for each other's well being. Each professor in the College of Performance and Visual Arts genuinely cares for their students and colleagues. I have never been around such amazing and thoughtful people in my life. I don't know if that sort of compassion and understanding occurs in other colleges or universities, but my hope is that it does. The performance industry is a brutal place where nothing is guaranteed, and those around you could turn out to be enemies. It's nice to see that everyone here feels a human bond of caring. Thank you CPVA for making us feel so welcome here at SUU.
Dan and Carrie, I know that you are both wonderful people. You amaze me with your ability to understand yourselves and the world around you. You have taught me so much with our chat about life. I love the college atmosphere for that respect I am shown daily.
For everyone that's been keeping track of me through my blog I'd like to thank you for coming along with me on this year's journey. I hope that you are able to have a very successful time as the year winds down. As we come to a close I hope that you will feel as if you have a friend in me, and if I happen to see you around campus, that you will feel as if you can speak with me. Because, you've now seen my face and know who I am, but I am so delighted to meet you. I can't wait to see you here on campus at SUU.
