Once upon a time, I thought that I would sit down on January 1st, 2015, and write some kind of super inspirational post about the new year and purpose and all that jazz. To that, I say “HA!” So here I am, on January 10th, writing a semi-informative post about how life is going right now. Here… we… go…
LOVING
-Rehearsal! As I’ve said before in my Morning Report posts, I am going to freaking Poland, and I am SO excited! I am proud to announce that I am, in fact, fully funded, FINALLY, which means that, well, I can actually go on this trip. I am especially enjoying getting to know the team that’s going with me, and I’m so excited to get to perform the skits that we’re doing to God’s glory. I’m also rehearsing for Aladdin, so I’m really loving going home every weekend with Disney songs ringing through my head. And both of my casts are the BEST. In fact, Aladdin is opening in a couple weeks, and I think it’s going to be a great show.
-Christmas break. I got an extra long break this year, because my sister’s home from college, and I adore having her here. Mainly because she’ll stay up until 5 am watching Disney-Pixar movies with me. What can I say? She’s my best friend.
WATCHING
-Gilmore Girls.
This my bonding show with my dearest mother. We’re addicted.
-Agent Carter.
Since only one episode has aired, this is all I have watched, but I love how it’s looking so far.
-Downton Abbey.
Yay, new season!!!
-Into the Woods.
I am, in fact, a massive fan of this show onstage, and let it never be thought of me that I didn’t know of it until the movie came out. I grew up reading it’s name in playbills and never knowing what it was. I did, however, have the privilege of seeing it in Ashland, and I do think the movie did it justice. So I’ve watched it twice. When I’m not watching the movie, I’m either listening to the original Broadway cast recording or watching the Chris Pine/Billy Magnussen “Agony” number over and over… and over… and over…….
READING
-Harry Potter!! I’m on the second book now, and I’ve seen the first movie and everything is gorgeous about it. I’ll admit that I am very late in reading them, but I’m willing to overlook that, if you are, and enjoy them anyway.
-The Hunger Games. I have yet to begin Catching Fire, but I really did enjoy The Hunger Games. I specifically enjoyed getting inside Katniss’s head, the way you couldn’t in the movies.
I do think that’s all… and I can’t thank you enough for limping through this post with me. New posts soon!
-Gracie
