I think I like the Bolded Terms...
Finishing up the sems
It has come time to call the costumes for Medea done. I have been working on them for the past two weeks and have to say that now, I am looking forward to seeing the play again with the costumes and lighting included. Learning to sew has been a positive skill for me--it has, and is, helping me with my patience level, design plans and has allowed me to have a few hours to myself a day. I have not been doing it on my own though--Erin, the faculty costume designer has been helping me and also Kaleb, one of my friends from Iowa. Costume design has been a good project for me but I must say that I am looking forward to finishing it to move onto the next project. Who knows what it will be! Come out to see Medea February 15-17 and also February 22-24!
Prayers
It is hard being away from home when important events happen in your family. My grandpa Lester has been having hip and heart problems and will be having surgery for his hip on Monday, February 19. It is this time where I wish I did not have to worry about deadlines here at school but instead be with my family and catch up on the things that I have missed while being here in VA. Do not get me wrong, I amLOVING EMU but when family things come up, I feel torn of where to be--all prayers would be helpful and appreciated. Thank you. He is the strongest 90-year-old I have ever met and is an amazing grandpa and mentor.
Spring Break?!?
Before you know it, the students will be spreading out over the country and maybe a few leaving the country for spring break. I am going to be spending the time with Lindsay's (my roomate) family. We are going to be traveling down to Orlando, Florida and are planning to soak up the sun, relax, read, enjoy the water parks and eat excellent crab. It is hard to believe that spring break is only two weeks away--and then it is hard to believe of what needs to be done within that amount of time in classes. The idea of it is overwhelming but do-able.
Sidenote: I am hoping to get a little feel for "Virginia storms" tonight and tomorrow. It has been sleeting all day but we will see where it takes us later in the evening. Snow? Rain? Both? Who knows?
