Life is about....

Who knew that life could be so hectic? I remember back when I would lie on my bed waiting for something interesting to happen, hoping for something to do.

Boy did I get that. And then some.

It has been a whirlwind ride through college applications, scholarships, senior project, senioritis, and more.


College applications make me feel stupid.

I went through my papers today for a senior biography and came up with these findings:

Life is about going with the flow.
Life is about getting applications in to four prestigious colleges in November and finding out that you're not interested in a single one, then starting over and turning in the one app you care about. Three days after the financial aid deadline.
Life is about turning down the $55,000 over-four-years scholarship to a college you don't want to go to in order to wait a year and hope for financial aid from the one place which sparks your interest.

College applications suck.

But maybe there's a reason? I can tough out gen ed classes at the local university for a year, I guess. Who knows? Maybe something monumental will happen in the next year that I would have missed otherwise.


Senior projects make my brain hurt.

Writing/directing/performing in a musical for a senior project. Genius? Not so much that as wishful thinking and temporary insanity. I have discovered these findings:

Life is about compromising.
Life is about waiting that one extra day to find a new lead male. Don't rush things, because you WILL regret it in the end. Trust me.
Life is about discovering that work and play don't mix. Never work professionally with your friends if they're not willing to take you seriously. Directing well means pissing off friends, and it's difficult to do.
Life is about learning that friends let you down when you count on them sometimes. Sometimes you're just not as important as you thought.
Life is about finding the little joys in a well done scene and stage lighting, along with seeing your script come to life.

Two more days. Two more days....

But I'll miss it, I know I will. It's all about how you look at it. As the song goes, I never saw a sight that didn't look better looking back. I'm sure it'l turn out fine, and the theatre fairy will show up just as she always does. We'll get it together somehow or another.


All I know it that it's currently Tuesday morning, and I have a Physics test first period.
