“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

So..I'm back. Not much has been going on. Mostly been trying to figure out my sound production thing for my intro to theatre class.
I am officially an Acting major which is now slightly scary when people ask me what my major is because I get this blink of surprise like "What? You?"
Yeah. I know. It's a surprise to all of us and I still have no ability to even pretend like this decision makes sense but I know what I want with my life. And I've been doing a lot of soul searching and having the Battle of the Five Armies coming out and having that be the end of this chapter in my life... I've been thinking a lot as I've been getting more understanding of exactly what I've gotten myself into.
But I can actually see myself doing that. Nothing else I've ever wanted to do could I see myself actually doing that. And I want to do this. Everything else, when I imagined the career, I would always imagine myself sitting back on my days off or retiring.
You all know that I've fallen in love with acting and it only took one part. I thought it would be hard to find something that I felt so passionately about because I'd resigned myself, the worst thing that can ever happen to someone. I'd resigned myself to a life I didn't want to live because I didn't dare to dream that I could have anything more, you know?
But it's so beautiful because I've always loved movies and TV and this way I'll get to do something that I love, and something that I am actually interested in. That is so special and I do not want to squander this opportunity.
But, anyway, big news! I was on the waitlist for a class that I needed for my major and I was kind of far down and I just put my faith out there and was like if I am meant to be in this major, I will get into this class. It's a film class so I'd like to take it even if it wasn't required for the major.
And yesterday, while I was at BotFA with my friend (which I'm taking as further confirmation), I got the email telling me that I'd had the class added. I shrieked. It was still during the previews so that was okay. But still. It's incredible and I am so blessed already.
Also, to show off my geeky self, Tolkien elvish (Sindarin) likes my mouth. So does Irish gaelic and that's probably why. Anywho, I love all of you lovely people. Never met any of you. But I love all of you anyway. Have a fabulous new year and remember. "Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it."
