Where did the Fall go?

In exactly one month, I will be going back to BYU-Idaho for my final semester there before I student teach next year. I just can't believe how fast the past few months have gone! I really didn't have much of a break at all between when I got home and when I auditioned for Annie Get Your Gun. I had five days between when my semester ended and when they held auditions, so I had just enough time to get settled back home and to get an audition song somewhat-ready (I forgot a few of the lyrics when I auditioned).










So I had rehearsals during August, September, and October and then we performed the first couple weekends in November. The morning after we closed the show, I flew out to California to go play in Disneyland with my friend Laura.



While I was there, I met the new princess (Tiana) and prince (Naveen) from the new Disney Animated movie "The Princess and the Frog."


And of course, I had to visit my favorite mice!


So since I've been home, I've been working on the Polar Express as well as my regular job at Days market and I'm also substitute teaching (mostly for my Dad's classes). The Polar Express ends on December 23 and the schools will have their Christmas break around the same time. So basically, I'm going to have about as much time to prepare myself to go back to school after Christmas as I had getting home from school in July. *sigh* Oh well, I've got to get myself mentally prepared for this coming semester because I can tell right now that this is going to be my hardest semester by far.

So in the meantime, I've to find time to spend with my friends that I've made while I've been home (in the singles ward). It's been nice to still see various members of the Annie Get Your Gun cast in Days pretty often, so it wasn't like I wasn't going to see some of my favorite people. :) Anyway, I hope I get everything done in the next 25ish days because come the end of December, I'll not only be saying goodbye to 2009, but I will be saying hello to 2010 and my last semester in my senior year. *inhales and exhales* I hope I can do this!
