Man. We actually wrote blog posts for 30 consecutive days! Well... mostly. I neglected a lot. But we got 60 posts up successfully within the last month, and I am proud of us!
The last day of the challenge asks you to list some highs and lows from the last month, so I'll start with the negative and end on a good note.
Lows
I was so super busy this month, and not in a good way. For example, last week was Fall Break for our school system, and it was also Tech Week for my show. This was good because I had time to finish the tech stuff that needed to be done. However, it was really bad for R&R. While all my teacher friends were at the beach or Disney World, I was spending every day at the theater from 9am to 2am. Needless to say, I got basically zero sleep and was not prepared to go back to school today.
Because of the tiredness and stress, I had a rehearsal where I straight up bitched my cast out. I used many sailor words. I'm sort of sorry for it, but they're adults and should be able to handle their shit better than they were. Also, it proved effective because they stepped up their game and put on a good show.
I've also been considering new career options. This is a good thing because I need a change, but it's bad because I'm worried about grown-up crap like insurance and, like... bills. You know.
Highs
I had a good birthday! David and I went to a Harry Potter screening at IMAX, all dressed in our best Ravenclaw and Slytherin garb. We also went to Starbucks and had a mini-party at my grandma's house. It was a nice birthday.
I finally started to hear God's call for my life. This has been working for more than just this month, but it's intensified since September. I actually started an application with the International Missions Board to go to Thailand for 2 years. I can't complete the app right now because one of the stipulations is you either have to remain unmarried for the next however-long-you're-overseas, or be married for at least one year prior to your departure date. Neither of these is a grand option at the time, so I'm waiting.
You got me a job! Well, it's not officially official yet, but basically I'm hired! This is so stinking awesome because I am soooooo broke, and I'm trying so hard to save up for Thailand. It's just not possible for me to put any money away right now because I have no extra, so most of what I make at the photo lab will go to that. Yay!
All in all, I'm glad we did this challenge. I think it made us think about what and how we write, but more importantly I think it brought us closer together. GAYEEE.

I sucks that you weren't able to relax at all during your break, but I am glad that your play crap seems to be going well. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could have heard you bitch out your cast. You may need to semi-act it out for me. HA!
I am glad that you are hearing God's call for you! I don't think I have heard mine. Then again, I don't think I have really been listening at all lately. ...
I am glad I could help you with the job! I just hope that you enjoy it. As much as possible anyway. I don't want to be all negative because It really isn't all that bad, we are all just burnt out I guess. But, we have to deal with the photography crap that you won't have to deal with. I have the hard job, you will have the easy one. Ha!
You are so queer. I love it.
I am glad that we did this together! I enjoyed getting to know you better. Which, was kind of surprising, cause I felt like I knew you pretty well to begin with. Ha!
