Wow, my life is such a whirlwind of activity....not home at all yesterday and hardly at all today. But life is extremely good right now. Odd how I'm now really appreciating where I live and the bonds I've formed.

Explaination: Well, I just got back from the community theatre's annual meeting where they give out their own version of the Tony's. Yours truly was nominated for outstanding supporting actress. I thought I wasn't going to get it because I won last year and because I was up against really good people....but i did. Its a nice gesture seeing as I'll probably leave this area, never to return.

My other instance: I had to read the lessons in church today, no big deal. Of course I was so busy this week I managed to read the lessons through twice before speaking today. I did fine, its just pace and diction- but because I had to work in the kitchen i heard so many complements. It just made me really appreciate the small town values and things like that.

And people ask me about auditions and wish me well, believing they'll all be able to say "i knew her when". I admire their confidence in me. Sometimes I wish I believed as much as they do. But my confidence is getting better. Once again I made really good progress in my audition coaching today. Countdown to 1st audition: 12 days.

I'm feeling really nostalgic. Maybe I will miss home when I finally leave. Maybe I'll miss high school (or maybe not). But I'll probably miss my friends. I spent all day saturday with the one-act crew and that night with my senior friends. I've just begun to realize time is running out. I knew this would come, I've felt it ever since slh-realizing how little time we have left.

But nevertheless it is time for an ending, though not yet. I am moving on, I need to move on. My childhood will soon come to a close, with nothing but fading memories of the past- painful and not. How quickly time passes....
