Merry Christmas to all!

Well, not quite anymore. It is now Dec. 26th, but I am chilling on Kirsten's parents couch, watching some James Bond with Kenny...just chillaxin...it feels nice to just chill. It has been a busy past couple of days, but it was a lot of fun. Got some really fun presents and got to spend some awesome time with family, which is always really great. Now we get a week of fun just to do nothing around here with a house pretty much all to ourselves.

Got all but one of my grades back so far...2 A's, a B+, and a C. My other grade is going to be an A, so my GPA will be around a 3.4, which is the best in quite a while, so I can't really complain. I am just getting antsy as hell now to start my final semester...not that I want to go back to school...but still.

The first day of filming last Wednesday went pretty well, now I need to work on getting some scripts memorized and worry about hardcore filming starting next week. It is going to be a fun experience and I look forward to it, especially after the fun we had filming just a little bit on Wednesday.

That is about all for now I suppose...I might update a little more later in the week, but not much else to say otherwise I am enjoying break and I am ready to be back here in A-town...:)

If I get drunk and pass out on the floor...

...you won't bother me no more...
If you're drinking you know that your my friend and I'll say..
I think I'll have myself a beer...

Guess what I am listening to? Hehe. I am TOTALLY done with my second to last semester ever. Wah! Actually ended up pretty well. One class I am a little disappointed in, only because I know I could have done better (especially since we have no tests, just homework being graded) Oh well, rocked everything else and should end up with a decent GPA. I am very much looking forward to starting my final semester. Next semester is going to be busy as shit, but I am so excited for it.

Shooting starts for Confab tomorrow and I incredibly excited. The four of us (as well as one other girl who does a few scenes with us in the pilot) got together tonight and read a little bit. Just a little informal session. Man, I had so much fun. I really feel that this is going to be such a great time and such a learning experience. Both Crystal and Anastasia are theatre people, so Joe and I (or at least I know I am) are a little intimidated, but I have a little edge having filmed a couple films already and the girls are just great fun and man...I am just stoked as hell. Plus I will be on TV, how could that NOT be cool?

Only 5 more days until Christmas, that is pretty exciting. I cannot wait to go home and spend some quality time with the family, that will be fun. Plus presents ;) Let's see what next semester holds for me...

-Confab (We hope to be done filming by end of February, and plus I will be helping edit and such)
-Bowling (Peter, Daanen, Fabian, and I got a team, that is going to be fun)
-Ultimate (only two more blocks I can play :( )
-Classes (I am taking WDMD 301 - Internet Languages, WDMD 308 - 3d Graphics and Gaming, and CIS 480 - 'The Big One' lol...I am also going to taking an archery class in April, just one weekend up in Treehaven, haha)
-House hunting (Kirsten and I will be applying for our home loan and working on getting a house...we hope to have one very soon, so here's hoping!)
-Job hunting (I still have that second interview for Skyline at the end of the month, so it kinda depends on that how much job hunting I will need to do...I am not getting my hopes up, but it would be cool as hell to have a job already when I move back)

It is just ridiculous to think that I will be a college graduate in less than six months. The last four years have been a pretty surreal experience...from being a scared little freshman rooming with a guy I had no idea about...to gaining some of the most amazing friends I could ask for...to getting MARRIED...to just everything. I have grown and changed so much in four years, it is nuts. Just pure nuts. And I know that it is just going to get more nuts over the next four years, and so on and so on. But man...college is just awesome. My sister is having a tough time right now with his guidance counselor and shit telling her that she won't be able to get into college and I hope to get a chance to talk to her over break and tell her to shove it up his ass, heh...he told me the same thing pretty much and look at me now! On the brink of graduating! You can do anything you truly set your mind to, I have always and will always believe that.

So yeah...life is good. Things are going well, and I am just very excited about everything.

6 days...

Getting some damn good work on done on my final 270 project (going to turn out pretty good methinks) and my stupid ass project for 358 seems to be going well (even though I have pretty much done no work on it, mostly just my group doing it without me...not that I will complain, heh) Played my final game of ultimate last night, really great game actually. We won 10 - 8 but good god, I felt like I was going to die a few times. I am ridiculously out of shape and I was running quite hard last night. I still played well...although I think I rolled my ankle at some point because it was pretty sore this morning. All for the game :) Only 6 more days of classes/tests...then two days of work (which I love a LOT more than school) and then off for two weeks, hooray (well, a week and a half, but still!) Better start memorizing those scripts...

PS - Those of you on Facebook, check out my profile and join the Confab group...the best place outside of StopThatNun.com to get your insider info on the TV show :)

It's another tequila sunrise...

Evidently I suck at this whole updating my blog jazz. Plus I feel a little secluded from the people that used to read my blog from MySpace...but hey, who cares, right? Heh...just chilling in the apartment right now, listening to some Eagles and other random music. Things have been getting steadily busier, which always happens this time of the semester (obviously) Tomorrow (well, Tuesday, heh) starts the final week of classes, then finals, then the end. I will be happy when I am done with this semester...I think if I can bust my ass this week and do some good work, I should finish strong and have a good GPA this semester too. I am rockin' in most of my classes and I can use a good GPA to help boost my overall a little bit, especially going into my last semester. But the workload has certainly increased as of late and I gotta start getting my priorities straight.

Had a job interview with Skyline last week. They did it over the phone, which is cool because I didn't have to travel to GB (which I would have). Either way, it was pretty cool. Not sure how it went, I felt like a I rambled quite a bit (which is pretty easy for me to do, heh) but I had some good answers to questions and the lady seemed pretty nice. I have a tech interview on December 28th (another phone one) so that should be interesting. It would be cool as hell to go into my final semester of college knowing I have a job. I would be so stoked. Then we just have to focus on the house shopping and all that fun stuff. We have pretty much put that on hold until after the first of the year, just because there isn't a whole lot we can do right now with it and I gotta put the majority of my focus into school.

Confab (the Stop That Nun TV show) is off to a great start so far. We haven't started filming yet, that won't happen until after the first of the year probably, but we have a good majority of the episodes written and such. We are just working on securing filming locations and getting a schedule out there. Remember, if you are going to be around Point over break and feel like being on TV or helping with the production of a TV show, we will need all the help we can get so please let me know! It is going to be an awesome time, I am pretty stoked :)

Only two weeks 'til X-Mas, that rocks! Plans are back to normal now, Kirsten's Grandma seems to good and her parents trip is back on. That will make things a bit easier for us at least. I look forward to having some time off from work and school and all that. I will be busy memorizing scripts, but that is fun :) (Yeah, I am one of the main characters now along with head writer)...geez, I really do have to update more often, lol.

Final game of Ultimate tomorrow, we had a tough loss last week to Fabian's team. Still always fun to play though, either way :)

I suppose that is all for now...ciao!
