Better late than never.

Wow. It’s been a really long time. For that, I apologize. Deeply. On the bright side, I bet it made your anticipation of this post so much more exciting than usual!!

Here’s a brief update of my life since I last blogged:

I finished school and all the crazy projects that kept me busy until very early in the morning. I have started working stock hours as well as normal hours at work (where we unload the new shipments of clothes) which has kept me busy early in the morning. School was hectic for a while there, but I am officially finished and done. Summer’s here. I’m almost moved out of my dorm and back into my parents’ house. Just one load left and the move will be complete. I’m heading to Oklahoma in a few days to spend a couple of weeks with family and friends. We’ve got some visitors scheduled for June and July that may or may not look something like this.

Aaaand I’m excited. There are no shows lined up for the summer, but hopefully next year I’ll be able to be in Singin’ in the Rain and a show called Chemical Imbalance. I haven’t read the second one, but it’s supposed to be a comical spin on Jekyl and Hyde. I should learn how to spell those two names, but I’ll do that later. I am also running for office in the UAA theatre club, so keep your fingers crossed that next semester I will be head of TTR (Theatre on the Rocks) Social Media. I can’t remember if I wrote about this before, but I’ve decided to double major in Theatre and Journalism/Public Communications, and I’m starting to lean toward minoring in French. It’ll be a lot of work, but I’m up for it.

So, life’s pretty busy, but I prefer it that way. I’d rather never sit down than never get up. Which is a weird way of saying that, but you know what I mean. I’m SUPER excited to go to Oklahoma and see my new niece Jessi in person! And little Jackson Teague, and I hope to be there to welcome another little Teague to the world! It’s an exciting time in our family’s lives and I love getting to be a part of it, even though I’m far away.

Finals weren’t too hard, once I finished the projects. I guess my professors decided to take it easy on us since they ripped us to shreds with final videos and such. Some I’ve created recently were two commercials for Kikkan Randall’s platform “Fast and Female” where she encourages women of all ages to be active and healthy, and another was a music video spoof of rap videos in which we made fun of our mutual dislike of clowns. They freak us out. If you would like to view them, the music video can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfMMPTzx1lk and the commercials are also on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M71GQIBo0kU and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqEFTbRRu_o&feature=related Enjoy.

Through these, I’ve discovered that I enjoy video editing and producing, though I don’t want to make a career out of it. Just something I might start doing in my free time. I like to see all the pieces come together. It’s fascinating to me. I love picking the music to go in the background and placing it at just the right spot, though it can be frustrating and take forever at times. Oh well.

Well, that’s about it for this blog post. They will become more frequent again, though probably not every day. Sorry it’s been so long and thanks for reading!

This baby doesn’t really have to do with anything, but it made me laugh.
