those moments in life...

bonjour mon amis.

i have officially decided that i will take up learning french once i get to college. since german crashed and burned SOOO epically, i am a bit nervous to take up a different, harder language. but i honestly think my love, ALONE, for how beautiful the language is will get me through it.

it was one of those weeks, that at the beginning, i didnt think that this day could ever come fast enough. and yet here we are, opening night, and my last one that i will ever have at this high school. i know i mentioned this previously in other blogs, but i had a thought the other day. i have spent most of my teenage life, wondering why i never ran off to an art school like all of my friends did. i can say what i always did, that "theres a time for college, and a time for high school", which i do beleive still, but i have always had some lingering "what if" emotions on that topic. now i will get back to the point :P: when i was about 6, in the 1st grade, our classes were taken over to the NEW high school (this was 1998) to see the first play i would ever see performed by anyone in new prague. i had seen a few plays before (lion king, and some with mom when we lived in the cities) but this was "the wizard of oz", an old childhood favorite of mine. i was that kid in the front row. edge of his seat, bouncing up and down when the lights faded and the curtain opened. this began my love for theater, and is a moment in my life that it would be hard for me to ever forget. i was thinking yesterday, how i really owe my love for the arts to this town and the programs we have, as much as i hate to admit it sometimes. i think thats the real reason ive stuck around all this time. i waited most of my young life to get to the high school, so i could be in the plays, like those people i look up to so much (sidebar: lisa bark is my friend on facebook now, and i remind her quite constantly that she is my inspiration :P, she was dorothy in that show. now an actress :D) the fact that i can now be one of those high school kids, who has made the day of some 1st or 4th grader, has made the whole experience worth it for me. i want to do for some little kid, what those people, and this town did for me.

so its a bittersweet day, but one that i have been waiting for for a long time. all this being said, i am really ready for that next chapter in my life. college is going to be such a wonderful experience, and i cant even wait to see whats in store. the amazing people. the atmosphere. my MACBOOK. hahah, everything. its so exciting.

and i guess all in all, i have to say that if i had run off and gone to an art school, or lived somewhere else....i may not have this UNDYING love for theater and the arts that i have right now. its now the time to take it to the next level, and see what happens next.
