FAIL BLOGGER!

Okay, so I know I should have NO EXCUSES for missing this Monday (again).... buutttt.... it IS midterm week and things have been *slightly* crazy.

So... last night my mom comes into my bedroom as I am skyping with my boyfriend and she shows me some sheets she's printed up from a website off the net.

What were ON these printed off sheets, you ask?

Well... when I was 10 years old.... I wrote this poem for school called "The Mysterious Man". Somehow, it got onto this website... and my mom found it and printed it off for me!! It's creepy how things appear without you even knowing how they got there.

Anyways.... for your enjoyment..... I give you my poem at 10 years old.....

"The Mysterious Man"

I saw him, just a few hours ago.
He was wearing a black coat and a dark brown hat.
He had something in his hand, that I couldn't quite understand.
Maybe it was a locket or a little boys rocket.
Maybe it was a ball or a little girls doll.
I turned the corner wondering who he could be,
And the mysterious man was smiling at me.
I smiled back because I was glad,
To see that this man was only my dad.

Damn! Already missed my "weekly" blog!!

DOH!

It is my goal to write a new blog EVERY MONDAY and of course.... yesterday was Monday and Amanda stupidly forgot to blog. (even though I wrote myself a post-it note and everything!)

Oh well. One day late.... not bad.

Anyway, I SHOULD be doing homework right now but I'm not in the mood (am I ever?!). I know I'll be regretting this later.

Man, lately I've been really struggling with what I should be doing with my life after I graduate (this is my last semester of my undergraduate degree).

I mean, teaching has always been an option. But with jobs in my area being very limited... I feel like I have less motivation to even apply to teaching practicums around me.

However, if I don't apply... what else can I do with my degree?

Bleh. So complicated and annoying.

Any suggestions? hahaha.

Short blog.

I had my training for Fright Nights yesterday.

All I gatta say is, it's going to be hard to not get scared myself as I'm scaring other people.

It should be an interesting challenge. To be 100% prepared for ANY reaction, to keep in character, to scare people, to give people their breaks..... it's going to be a fun two weeks.

Amanda is back for "once a week" blogs!!!

My new goal is to blog at least once a week. I am hoping to eventually make it so I blog once a day, but we'll have to see how busy/amusing my life gets. (heheheheh)

So, for my first official Monday "once a week" blog, I am going to update people on my life.

1. I am in my last semester of school at SFU. I am taking an English class and two education classes and then I'm done!! I've officially applied for graduation. So I am praying this semester goes well so that I can officially be done my undergrad!!!!

2. I am teaching musical theatre (again) for a homeschool Christian theatre group (Xtreme Theatre), and for The Lindbjerg Academy of Performing Arts (who now owns their OWN space... but it is in the process of being finished!) This year I get to work on 3 awesome junior musicals: Seussical the Musical, Honk, and School House Rock!!! It's going to be a busy year!!

3. I am currently rehearsing a pantomime (Snow White and the Vertically Challenged Excavators) for the Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society. I am uber stoked. I am playing Prince Charming (alas, a boy...... again). The cast is awesome and it's a really funny show with up-to-date songs (a LOT being from the Glee Soundtrack). I'll post more info in another blog... but it runs Nov.24-Dec.5 at the Surrey Arts Center.

4. I got hired for PNE's Fright Nights. Yes, that's right.... I got hired to scare people. HOW AWESOME IS THAT!! I'm super excited to start.... training is in a week!! And it's good because it's just til Halloween so it's basically only for a month.... :)

5. I am in a new relationship with a wonderful guy. Sad part is that he is in the military and he got sent back to Ontario last week... and I probably won't see him for three months. *sigh* I miss him a lot. But I knew what I was getting myself into so I've accepted what has happened and I am willing to wait :).

I think that is the BASICS of my life right now. Again, I am hoping to keep the world updated. ONCE A WEEK!! Be prepared.
