Thoughts
Now that I am home for the summer I am beginning to sort through things in my life. I am getting ready to go to Meadowood which is a Speech and Hearing camp that I work at all of July. That is something that I am really looking forward to this year. I always loved camp as a child and for me this is a way to still "go to camp" and get payed for it. It is a fantastic opportunity and will really help me on my Peace Corps application.
Unfortunately, it looks like I will be changing my plans on my study abroad program. Because of my recent upswing in Theater positions I believe that taking a complete year off my Junior year would be foolish. I am being blessed with an incredible amount of opportunities right now. Turning them down would be illogical being as that I have worked hard to gain them. So because of this I have come up with a solution.
1) In order to stay on top of theater classes I will not be taking a foreign language...(yet). I will be studying in a country that will be teaching me another language and have a program for beginners in that language or be an English speaking country.
2) My program with have to have a theater curriculum available for me so that I can continue to receive my theater scholarship money and training.
3) I will only be taking a semester abroad rather than a year. The program must have a semester option, Fall preferred, that is affordable to me. This means below $9,000.
These options currently lead me to the following countries: Greece, Australia and New Zealand among a few other depending on the program. Greece would be wonderful. I would be all for that. That is the brith place of theatre. Australia and New Zealand are not bad either.
Still...all of this seems so much less glamoures than living in Europe for a year and tuoring. I really should not stress it but I feel as though college is a place to learn about making choices. There are good ones and there are ever better ones. Being a little bit picky will probably pay off. In my reseach however I did find an ultaimite dream. The Moscow Art Theatre has a semester program for acting students. It costs $18,900 not including food or visa. Oh it would be so amazing. That right there is my dream. Click hear for the link.
I will keep you updated as plans evolve.

Random Behavior
As the days of college begin to become fewer and fewer I find myself partaking in the last of the rituals of the year. Between papers and classes I have managed to have a few conversations with some squirrels, get a job as Theater House manager, be cast in Eastern Oregon University's production of Doubt, and become Assistant Stage Manager for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. All of these things are very wonderful to me. I am honored to have had such a sudden rush of theatre prospects. I have also begun to search for an apartment. All of these things seem to mark my passing from first year college student to second year college student. I am excited for a new year of school.
My friends as I partook in a photo shoot for a Media Arts final project. Here are some of the wonderful pictures. It seems to be our last group bonding moment before we go our separate ways. We are supposed to be portraying a band. Yes..that is saran wrap and glitter glue. It was a wonderful experience
