The Highly Condensed Version (of the past six months)
- Went back to Mizzou for the spring semester
-Took my first journalism class (loved it!)
-Took another costuming class (So much fun!! Definitely didn't see this hobby coming)
-Went to the Dominican Republic for 72 hours of bliss (and along the way, I spent my birthday in Miami with one of my best friends (honestly, what more could a girl ask for? (especially when there was a 50 degree difference between Missouri and Miami)))
-Did a lot of homework
-Did more homework
-Didn't freeze (too much!)
-Saw snow fall for the first time! And experienced my first snow day(s)!
-Started working with STRIPES, the safe-ride system on campus! (Now I have lots of stories about funny drunk people)
-Went home for spring break!
--Saw all of my beautiful, amazing, hilarious, talented, brilliant friends
----I was even lucky enough to see a handful of them in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (a musical, that I just might have seen three times...(what can I say? I love them))
- Went back to Missouri
-Got hired at White House Black Market!
-Got hired by Mizzou Theatre's Summer Rep program to work in the costume shop and backstage on Anything Goes!
-Did more homework
-Took finals
-Moved out of the dorms
-Slept on a very generous friend's floor for a week
-Moved into my new townhouse!
-Spoke Spanish every morning at 8:40 for two hours with a group of hilarious people
-Worked in the costume shop five days a week!
-Worked at White House Black Market after
-Did a lot of math homework (and I mean a lot of math homework)
-Did a lot of Spanish homework (and understood it... I'm sorry, but when the hell did that happen?)
-Worked on wardrobe crew for Anything Goes! (Possibly the best job ever!-- Minus the very sweaty t-shirts and more specifically, the adult onesie I had to collect at the end of the night, but other than that, so much fun!!)
-WENT HOME AFTER ALMOST FIVE MONTHS!!
-Had a crazy airport surprise
-WENT BACK TO CAMP BRAVO AS A COUNSELOR AND HAD AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE (I cannot even begin to describe Bravo, if I started to, I wouldn't get any sleep tonight, or for the rest of the year)
-Played in Huntington Beach and Del Mar for a couple of days
-Maximized my time with my friends before returning to Mizzou
And there you have it, the past six months in a nutshell (concise really isn't my thing....). I'm now back in school and working my ass off already. If you are so inclined, feel free to follow my academic/professional blog at lesjay.wordpress.com . I will probably be posting there more often because, well, I am graded on it. I hope you're all doing well and that there aren't too many spelling/grammatical errors in this post because honestly, I am prioritizing going to sleep over proofreading it. Talk to you soon! (hopefully about something other than my life)
Thanks for reading.
