The Only Thing Worse Than Not Writing is Only Sometimes Writing

I love to write. I really do.

I write as often as I can, or as often as I remember to force myself to sit down and take a break from insanity.  I tried to start a blog, but failed miserably. I tried to start writing something every day and failed miserably at that too.

During the midst of these writing catastrophes, I realized that the only thing worse than not writing at all, is to fail to keep a commitment to write.  That really does suck. So though it may not always be on this blog, or public in any way, I've decided to once again attempt to write for at least five minutes every day, no matter the forum, no matter the topic.

Here's to hoping that this attempt is better than the last.

College Craziness

I have been doing nothing but thinking of college lately. Everywhere I turn, it follows me. Applications, scholarships, GPAs, letters of recommendation, visits, scholarship competitions. It's almost as though I have time for nothing else. I spend all of my time either doing college stuff, working on songs and lines for Godspell, or doing homework. It's a little bit outrageous.

I am currently working on a crazy presentation for a scholarship competition that I am attending next weekend. I have to make a 10-15 minute long presentation and then participate in a 15 minute long interview. Here's to hoping it goes well.

In addition to the presentation, I have to do a crap ton of work for history, practice everything for Godspell, and hopefully take at least three minutes to just breathe so that I don't get way to stressed out and end up institutionalized. I spend all of my time being way too stressed out.

Thankfully, I have great friends who help me stay calm and have fun. This weekend Hallie and I went to Fayetteville and watched the Razorbacks gymnastics meet against Nebraska. She was way more involved than I was of course, but it was really fun getting to watch all of the gymnasts. Also, we felt like legit grown-ups, because we made this trip completely solo. We drove by ourselves, got a hotel room by ourselves, and stayed alone overnight in a town four hours away from home. I felt seriously weird when I was booking our hotel room because I should NOT be old enough to do that by myself. It was crazy. But we had a lot of fun, and thankfully our hotel wasn't too sketchy. Our first completely solo road trip was a great success!

It was, indeed, a great trip and weekend. Better than the last. :)
