honestly, why do i bother?

I really do want to be a good blogger, I just forget about it.

A lot has happened since the last entry.

1. I graduated from college!! My last few days in Ruston were so weird. That is the only word that can describe it. I spent every waking moment with my friends that I ended up my apartment with my dad, mom, aunt, and sister 2 hours before graduation. I was covered in sweat by the time I got to the TAC and since I forgot to leave my black heels out of one of the boxes, I ended up gathering my diploma and shaking the President's hand while sporting my black Toms. It was a political statement really. The only part that really sucked was that BOBBY JINDAL was our commencement speaker. yeah.

2. I got into grad school! I know, right? I am starting grad school at the University of Nevada... LAS VEGAS!! It is very scary and very exciting. I even got an assistantship which kicks ass. The fam and I went last week and I found an apartment and met with the stage management professor. My assistantship assignment is with props. I was a little scared when she told me at first... like I almost puked on her desk, but now it's sunk in and I am looking forward to learning another aspect of theatre.

3. I worked for five weeks as an assistant stage manager in the hell hole known as Greenville, North Carolina. I would go into the hairy details but you never know who is reading these things. I will just say that I have never been more miserable in my entire life. No exagerations. And it's weird because last summer I was gone for like 3 and half months and I mean, of course I missed people, but it wasn't unbearable because I was surrounded by awesome people and I loved it. I was in NC for five weeks and I was literally counting down the hours. It felt like I was there for 10 years. What I am trying to say is... it's funny how you realize how lucky you are when you are stuck in a miserable situation. This will probably be lame to some of you, if anyone even reads this, but I went to Ruston after I was done in NC. I was only gone for 5 weeks and I felt the need to go back and sit at the Frothy Monkey and Sundown like old times... or five weeks prior. Whatever, it was great.

4. Thats pretty much it. I'm in Oklahoma for a few weeks and it has been great being home. I'm trying to find furniture for my apartment and such. Good times.

I'm also going to share a secret that you probably already know about. It's called swaptree.com and my friend Josh told me about it. Anyway, you can list your old books/CDs/movies/video games that you don't want anymore. Then you list things that you do want and the website sets up trades for you. It's awesome. I joined like a week ago and I have already done 2 trades. I've got 2 basically new books, and all I had to pay for was shipping. And my new television addiction is Big Love on HBO. It's about polygamy and Mormons. It's really interesting.


Thats it for now!
