Hey friends! I know it's been awhile, but I have been incredibly busy with different projects. I have begun my internship with the Amarillo Opera, and it has been UNBELIEVABLY FUN! I am having a blast to say the least. We begin teaching camps this next week to kids around the Amarillo area. Each camp will be in different locations, and we will have a different set of kids each week. There are ten other mentors along with me for this journey, and I know we will work our hardest to create little Thespians. I know this is a short post, but I will update you with more details as these camps take flight. Arts an Alternative, here we come!

OH MY GOSH IT FINALLY HAPPENED! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! I HAVE A FREAKING DEGREE! I am no longer in a state of shock, which is nice. After I took my last final on Tuesday the tenth, I kind of went into a depression. However, now I am all good, terrified, and good. I'm excited and scared. Get the reference? Ha...ha...ha...ha...okay. I'm not really sure how that landed and I'm not going to lose sleep over it. So these past few days I have been sending in applications for different apprenticeships/internships. I'm trying to keep track of different cover letters, application papers, etc. etc. I honestly had no idea how to begin a cover letter. I think I've come a long way now. Which is nice, I gave myself a gold star for that one. I will keep you guys updated on how all of them turn out. Until then I have to get back to work. However, here is a picture of me on graduation day. I am so freaking cute.
Side Note: I was obviously ready to set fire to the rain in the last picture. So, I am graduating with my BA in Musical Theatre this Saturday, and I am trying not to panic. I have so many mixed emotions currently, that I cannot even begin to express them all. I just know that one minute I am filled with confidence and the next the existential sets in. So my thoughts go like this, "I can do this! Yes! Let's go get work! Let's stretch, let's go belt a high C, woo!" Then they turn into this, "Don't let the existential set it. Don't do it! Get your hands off the keyboard, and quit searching theories on existentialism! Don't buy another cookie cake! Find another coping mechanism besides eating you disgusting slob!" So I'm constantly conflicted, which in turn makes my coffee intake increase, and my social life decrease. However, I am so excited to get started on my next project which begins on June 27th. I will be collaborating with the Amarillo Opera to work with the Summer Youth Musical. This year they will be performing "The Music Man," which I am so pumped to begin working on. There will be more details to come once I find out more. I just know that I will be working with kids, which I am super fired up to do, because I firmly believe in instilling the arts in children. It's a great way to help them find self expression. So anyway, thanks for taking time to get this far in my paragraph of nonsense, haha! Once again, more details and information are coming your way. Thanks guys!
