The Whirlwind that has Been My Life These Past 2 Weeks!

Hello readers! Once again....pardon me for my bloggy-neglagance. I assure you you will understand why by the end of this blog lol. I've been UBER CRAZY busy these past two weeks for a pleathara of different events and assignments and everything in between. Hmm...where shall I begin?

Fish Out Of Water!
Mkay, so FOOW sadly came to a close 2 weeks ago [please pardon the time differences of my stories, i promise they'll end being up to date haha]. ANYWHO It was an amaaaaazing run! We had almost sold out shows every night, and the audience looooved it! FOOW has will surley go down as one of my favorite shows I've done of all time. My parents came to see it on the Sunday showing and they still can't stop talking about it! I was glad they came to see the show, and even happier because I got to go out to dinner afterwards. YUM FREE FOOD! Plus, on top of all this wonderfull-ness I was also nominated to compete for one of the Irene Ryans Acting Awards/Scholarships for my portrayal of Wanda June in FOOW. SCHWING! :D

Le Equality March in DC
Last weekend [the 11th] a couple of friends and I went to the National Equality March in D.C with the GSA group at Albright! It was SO MUCH FUN! And quite the adventure as well. To start off the bus for the trip left at 7:45, I repeat 7:45 IN THE MORNING. And this was on a Sunday so thats like blashmemous for a college student to be up at that time on a weekend haha. But it was going to be really worth it so I knew I could handle it. HOWEVER the night before some friends and I drove up to South Jersey to surprise on of our friends at his fashion show. We went, saw the show [funtimes!] and then went to a 24-Hour IHOP [SURLEY one of the greatest inventions of all time] and ended up not making it back to Albright until.......are you ready for this?..........4 A.M. So....that gave me about....a good about 2 hours of sleep so I could get up and get ready. So I figured "yea, I'm a champ. I can do this" and I set my alarm for 6:45 , TRIPLE CHECKED IT, laid my clothes out for the next day and passed out!

I then woke up at........drumroll please...7:40! How that happened? I HAVE NO IDEA! HAHA. I guess I was so tired I must've hit my alarm while still asleep and ignored it. Anywho, I freaked out, jumped out of bed and brushed my teeth and then started to get dressed at hyper speed. All the while I called one of my friends I had gone to NJ with and who was also going on the trip and was talking to them on speaker-phone seeing if they were concious while getting dressed haha. In the end we both ended up making the bus, and sleeping all the way there.

Once we got there, fatigue was out the window. There were SO MANY PEOPLE there it was crazy! We all just hopped into the mass of people and began getting our march on. It was so amazing to be there, because I've always wanted to march for something, and what better cause than equality? Everyone had signs, and placards and flags waiving in the air and it was quite the sight to see. We marched all throughout D.C, past the White House and straight up to the Capitol Building. It was alot of fun chanting and singing and some of us folks from Albright even made up our own and got others to join in! First I started singing "All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles and then my friend Andre made up this Spice Girls on that was HILARIOUS! This one random guy even had me yet it into his megaphone haha. Then there was a rally with a bunch of speakers including Cynthia Nixon [the Sex&the City lover inside me DIED!], Judy Sheppard, and Lady Gaga. After the rally, everyone dispersed and attempted to find food. We were all uber dehydrated from marching around and chanting that all I wanted to do was guzzle a gallon or 2 of water. And me being a picky vegetarian I couldn't really find anything to eat, so my dinner was a grape soda, XL lemonade, XL water and a cookies & cream milkshake. It was AWESOME!

MIDTERMS WEEK
Where.do.I.begin? Well, after we all got back from the Equality March [which was at about 9-ish] I just went and passed out because I had been running on only about 3 hours of sleep so I was quite tired. Unfortunatley I had to wake up to.......MIDTERMS WEEK. It seemed like every assingment/test from my 4 classes decided to spring up on me at the same time. I had at least 1 thing due for all my classes and they were all due on WEDNESDAY. OF COURSE. So I spent Monday & Tuesday slaving over a hot laptop in the library getting everything done. On Monday I was up doing work from 6 - 10 the next morning [up a total of 25 hours]. I survived by running on two 5 Hour Energies & Sweedish Fish. Luckily I was able to actually get sleep the rest of the week, but worked right up until my last class on Friday. For my one class my partner and I even overwrote one of our papers by 10 pages! XD I couldn't believe it! Campus was so fun all week though, because everyone was super delerious from being so sleep deprived due to all the work. BUT luckily it is now the glory that is FALL BREAK! YAY!

So now I am currently spending my Fall Break at home in my comphy bed amongst all my stuffed animals and my dog recovering from the heck that was MIDTERMS WEEK. I shall now spend the next few days hibernating in my bed waking only to have movie marathons & shop! Oh such a great life to live! Plus, its my birthday on Wednesday [the 21st]! AH! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ABOUT TO TURN 20! I'll be so old! :[ ........But on the plus side I'll get lots of birthday money for shopping haha. Oh...I think I'll just keep telling everyone I'm 19 for another year until I'm 21 haha! Now I've just gotta avoid getting ponded in this cold weather.

Wish me luck & thanks for reading! :D
