L'Amour a Tous Les Droits

This is a song that we listened to the other day in french class. I liked the video and thought it was cute. The main line is "L'amour a tous les droits et nous tous les devoirs" it means "Love has all the rights and we have all the duties". I like that idea. :-) Yep!

Serez-vous ma copine?

Oui!

So Thad and I are a couple now. We had been talking about it for a while. It's been hard for me because of France and there were a couple ways that we could go about it. But I wanted us to be official. I've known him for a long time. We were in the same grade and we have always stayed friend even though he goes to Fox and I go to WOU. That picture is from Winterball my Sophomore year.But i am happy. We are decided to go on Pause while I go abroad at least until I figure out what my situation is like over there. But I am happy. I think he is too. He wanted to wait and ask me in person but we've known for a few days.

:-)

Also that's how he asked me. In french. He knows me so well!

Copy Cats

I just stumbled upon this and thought it was SUPER cute!

Outstanding Off Stage Contribution

The Outstanding Off Stage Contribution award is given to a technician who has demonstrated excellence and commitment to technical aspects throughout the season. When these awards were started seven years ago, they weren’t supposed to be a “life-time achievement award.” Each student’s work was to be individually considered for each year. This year is no exception. Excellence is this technician’s trademark. “Good enough” is not in their vocabulary. A powerhouse, a dynamo, a perfectionist, and a caring thespian: this technician always met challenges head-on and was always looking for ways to improve a show, even during the run of a show with sometimes somewhat comical results. I’ve said before that a show can still run even if no one shows up except for the stage manager. This person didn’t have to prove it, but I know that they could have done it. Having worked on every show since their freshman year, having accumulated more thespian points than any other technician at this school, and greatly raising the bar regarding what it means to be a techie, this could be a lifetime achievement award. Perhaps it has simply been delayed. The 2011 recipient for Outstanding Off Stage Contribution to the Theatre goes to Kacy Helwig.

Old but good :-)

A Funny Thing: Regret

It's hard for me to not regret decisions that I made in my past. I went to Linfield tonight with Chelsea to see Spring Awakening. And it was a really well done play. Worthy of the trip out there and really very beautifully done. And it's times like that where I look at my decision to leave and I see what I walked out on. I walked out on being the head person in another organization. I left being the lighting designer for the next 3 years of shows. And I know that I did. And when I look at that knowing how much I really do love doing it... I regret that. I regret that I didn't stick with it and become even better at it and more amazing. And i had a lot of good connections there that I could have utilized. And it is times like that where I wonder what direction in life I would be in.

And I don't regret it in like a "I wish I could go back and change it" way but in a that was a good direction that I could have gone but chose not to. And it makes me have regret because I don't know if in ten years I will look back and wish I had done things differently. But I think that just wasn't where I was supposed to be. And for that I am happy that I moved. I am happy with where God is taking me in my life and the opportunities that I have. But it just sort of puts me in an odd frame of mind to go back there and think about where I was at the time. Who I was. And it all just seems so strange to look at what I thought my life was then. And where I thought I was going. But it is all so different from what I pictured. And not in a bad way but just in a different way. So different.

For our french midterm today my professor did a listening activity about the jobs that she has done in her life. And I thought it was really interesting how she had so many jobs. And I haven't had that. But what was more interesting was her story of how being a teacher was the last thing that she ever wanted to do. But yet then she did and she loves it. It makes me wonder if I am going that route... The last thing I ever wanted to be was a foreign language teacher because of my mom being one. And now suddenly I am thinking it could be a good route... It just seems so crazy how all these decisions that I face have so many different influences on the direction of my life. It just seems surreal.

A scary thing happened to me today!
