Hi Blogger!

So this semester has been wonderful. As I have previously written, I got the part of Irina in Chekhov's Three Sisters at my college. It was such a blessing to be a part of the production. I felt like I learned something vital every day. This semester I feel like for the first time in my life, I'm genuinely seeing Christ move in the lives of those around me. I'm watching his love revolutionize their lives right before my eyes. It's pretty moving to see someone fall more in love with him every day.

Anyways, now I've hit the easy point of my year. My show is over and now I can focus on grades, friends, and FINALLY catching up on books. Yesterday I went to a bookstore with Courtney and I began to talk up how great Looking for Alaska, a book by John Green, is. I read it when I was 15 and it changed my life. More so, John Green and his brother's youtube videos inspired me to pursue writing and theatre, and not be ashamed to be my true nerdy self. His fans have a habit of showing their love for him by leaving little 'Nerdfighter Notes' expressing their love for the novel or jotting down a little inspirational sentence in between the pages of their favorite book by him. For YEARS I have been going to bookstores and flipping nonchalantly through the pages, hoping I'd find one of the notes. However, I never found one...until yesterday. As I talked to Courtney and explained the basic plot of the book I thumbed through some pages randomly, not expecting to find anything, when I came across a post it note with a message scrawled across it.

I became so overjoyed that I proceeded to make a scene right there in the store. I left the note intact, waiting for someone to pick up this book and cherish it as I have. That's all I have for now. God bless!

Here's a picture of the show!

If I ever grow up.

Katy #1- You really should make another video.
Katy#2- Ugh, I know. Stop nagging me, kay?
Katy #1- You're so lazy. You have absolutely no work ethic whatsoever.
Katy #2- Do you want to be punched? I mean really, you're just asking for it now.
Katy #1- Fine. Go ahead, sleep in and eat pizza rolls! Accomplish nothing!
Katy #2- Maybe I should...
Katy#1- Yeah, that's what I thought, dofus.

My sleep schedule is insane. I seriously sleep like cat. Yesterday my friend, Marilyn, had the brilliant idea of copying Alaska from John Green's Looking for Alaska, and going to various garage sales, buying every book we found interesting. I should have made a video of it. Well, the night before, last night, I ended up lying awake, restless in my bed. My body was tired, but my mind was speeding, refusing to slow down. Eventually I abandoned any thought of sleep for the night.

I pulled out Speak. It was an interesting read. The thought process is so well written. I love that, it makes it easier for me to get absorbed within the story and focus on the character's thoughts and mindset. I finished the book around 5:30 in the morning. We were supposed to go garage sale hunting at seven. Lovely.

So, we began our adventure in the humid Texas morning. I ended up only buying one book. Pathetic, just pathetic. Every sale we went to was...to put it nicely, composed of junk. Though I did find that one book and an electric keyboard, I've had an itch to take lessons. Apparently, it's not a good idea to do this the weekend of a holiday. Who'd of guessed?

All in all, I'm happy I went, even if I despise waking up early. So here I am, sleep deprived. For some wacky reason I find it much easier to write when I'm all tuckered out then whenever I'm wide awake. Maybe it's because my mind isn't going a hundred miles an hour, so it's easier to zone in on one thing. Maybe I'm ADD.

Random thought of the day-My family owns a random workout video hosted by an Australian man in spandex and his mother. It's hilarious.

Random conversation of the day-
Mother-So, I found out where all of the little ducklings in the local pond disappear to.
Me-Really? Where?
Mother-The snapping turtles eat them.
Me-....I'm going to go cry myself to sleep.
