The First Big Leap

Today, I moved all of my belongings from my dorm room, my dear beloved room on the 2S, into boxes, bags, piles, storage units, and a mini van and am headed home from college. Looking back, three months ago when I moved allllll of this stuff in, I had no idea that I would be moving it all out again so soon. It just goes to show that dreams come a knocking and you go when the opportunity presents itself. I've cried. I will cry again - as many headaches and heartaches I had over being an RA, I loved it. I love my staff, my opportunites, the chance to make a difference. I learned a lot about myself as an authority figure and I learned a lot about people. Leaving was a bigger step than I'd anticipated, and it is just one of many I will be taking in the next few weeks. Deep breaths, lots of love, and a little bit of pixie dust and I'll do more than just fly, I'll soar.

Disney Trivia - Q: In The Sword in the Stone, what does Merlin call "the greatest force on earth"?
A: Love.

I can relate.

When Will My Life Begin?

Alas, I have had a bit of a hiatus from my dear blog - not to frolic fancy free, but working diligently to pass my classes and excel in everything that I do, really. I have performed in a one act, in a voice recital, in an improv show, and in a concert, and all somehow influenced by my recent and premier case of strep throat. It's okay, better here than at Disney. And now that the snow's blowing deeper and here I am, all of my final tests done with only two papers, a performance, and a piano lesson in front of me, I'm feeling pretty good about this - the last week of my formal education as a sophomore...perhaps forever? Amazing. Now, you know, I just have to pack my entire room, finish Christmas shopping, attend several Christmas galas, and just generally be awesome. But I can do that. You know why? Because I am a competent and qualified individual with a big heart and big dreams and there is nothing that can keep me down. Nothing at all.

Fun Disney fact - The songs When Will My Life Begin (reprise 1) and part of Mother Knows Best from the recent Disney film, Tangled, were cut from the final film, but are still on the available soundtrack. And. I. Love. Them.
