Goodness... I'm so glad that I only have to move into my dorm room once a year... being on fourth floor is a big pain!! I was so glad my daddy came along and that some of my friends helped out. I'd probably still be carrying stuff up if I had to do it by myself!! We kinda got everything to fit in our room. It's pretty crowded, and all my winter clothes are under my friend's bed in a different room, but there's not much we can do about that.
I was scared this weekend was going to be really boring, but it turned out to be pretty fun!! (well, except for today, which is an all homework day minus a meeting about musical with last year's assistant director) I went up to someone's cabin next to a lake with a whole bunch of people from my class. There were 40 people there Saturday night! It was a little crowded, but we had a really really good time on the lake in the boat and swimming and stuff like that.
I kinda realized something this weekend... since my sophomore year of high school, I've been whining about how the "guys" never talk to me, and if they'd just talk to me, I'd be happy. Well you know what? Those "guys" were at the cabin this weekend, and they not only talk to me now, they hold extended conversations with me, and even like hanging out with me. One of the guys that I particularly remember complaining about, especially when someone told him I thought he looked cute all dressed up to play for the musical, even drove us home. Five years ago, if someone told me that I'd be sleeping in the same house with all these people and spending the weekend with them, I would have told them they were crazy. Funny how things change. The really stupid part is that I'm still not really all that happy. No... I take that back. I am really happy. But not as content as I thought I'd be five years ago if these guys would just talk to me. I guess I've grown up or something... come to realize that having these dumb guys talk to me is not the most important thing in the world. Sure it's fun, but it's not going to make my life perfect.
The musical season is well underway. We picked the cast last week. It was a pretty difficult process, and sadly it was so difficult because we didn't have that many people try out. We were especially short on guys. One of my friends from high school, who has never been in any sort of musical before, was even considered for the lead. If you knew him, you'd understand why this is crazy. But the casting is done, we have freshmen for our leads, and the work is getting started. I'm still not sure if this is all going to work. My classes are pretty boring, and seem to have lots of homework, especially in the reading area. I think there are going to be lots of late nights for the next three months. Hopefully I can avoid all major disasters.
