So the past few days have been good and bad in their own way.

I am currently working on my lighting design for West Side Story. So far I have a large bulk of the drafting done and two watercolors. I forgot how hard it could be to have to draft a full stage when you don't have the blueprint for the theatre. At Culver it was nice and simple since we had the blue print and whether people would admit it or not, you could just lay your drafting paper on top and copy it. lol But now that I actually have to be a real designer and create my own drafts its sooooooooo different!

I'm excited for the show though. I think I'm more excited to get the lighting done. For me there is just something so awesome about hanging lights and seeing what I saw in my head actually turning out on stage. This makes me VERY happy. :)

I think part of the reason the past few days have been kinda rough is I'm kinda homesick. I'm not homesick that I miss my house or small town. Instead I'm homesick for my friends. I miss going out to the bar with the crew in Wenona. I miss going up to DU and hanging out. I miss sitting in the Chapter room at the house and watching the most girly movies ever! (Angie- P.S. I Love You hehe) I guess I just miss my friends.

I've made some amazing friends here though. And seriously with out them I really don't think I would have been able to handle this whole England thing.

But now the question of what I'm going to be doing AFTER England is up. Do I stay? Do I find a job back in the states? I started looking up some college teaching jobs back in the states. I actually found two that connected with my Masters so that was exciting. What was not exciting is that one of them is just WAY to close to southern Missouri. I just am not ready to be that close yet.

I guess I'm just trying to figure things out. I hate not having a plan. Though in all honesty, none of my plans ever seem to work out. So what I do know is that I am going to love the rest of my time here in England. I'm going to travel and possibly go to Scotland, Ireland, and France here pretty soon.

But as of right now my next journey will be up to London to audition for Andrew Lloyd Weber. I'm hoping that it goes well and I at least make it to the second round... Hopefully....
