For now, here's a brief overview of what I've been doing recently-
- My weekend of dance performances has begun as of this evening, so that has taken up most of my time. This year, we're performing Disney's Pinocchio. I received a main solo this year as the scheming Fox, and I'm loving the opportunity it has given me to act and dramatize as I dance. I've missed acting since I graduated from the elementary drama team at my church, so this year at show has been especially wonderful. And I get to be a baddie, which I am more amused by and excited about than I probably ought to be... :3 The first show went swimmingly, and I'll be back at it tomorrow for matinee and evening performances!
- I've been back and forth from Bellevue College these past few months in preparation for beginning Running Start this coming fall. For the first quarter, I've signed up for German and Political Science, and I'm really quite excited for both. It will be quite the change for me, though, since I've been homeschooled my entire life and have never experienced "real" school before. But, I am looking forward to the challenge. I will still be continuing to do some schoolwork at home as well, to wrap up my senior year of high school. *gasp*
- I started a writing program called the One Year Adventure Novel at the beginning of the school year, which, as the title suggests, takes you through the process of planning, outlining, and writing a twelve-chapter adventure novel, all in a year's time. I'm now at the point where I've planned and mapped everything out, and it's time to get down to business and actually write the novel! Unfortunately, I find that plot outlining and world/character building comes much easier to me than the actual writing part of the process, but I am determined to finish what I started.
There you have a snippet of what I've been up to the past few months. Now it's time I get some rest to be ready for tomorrow's performances of the British Dancing Academy's Pinocchio!!
