| So...tomorrow I'm going to baker. Not as a camper. Not with Julian. Things will definitely be a little weird, haha. I am still extremely excited to head back to a wonderful place that has been a part of my life every summer for the past 6 years. I know it's going to be a blast. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of faces that I haven't seen in SO long. It's gonna be great!
Summer has been absolutely amazing! Everything is going just as planned and better. I've been working out a lot and getting in shape which is awesome. I'm getting addicted to the gym - but hey, it's a good addiction, right? I'm getting pumped to start the alumni show! I have been listening to the recording over and over because the music is so great. I love William Finn and am excited to perform his music. Plus getting to perform again is going to be very refreshing. I've seen lots of movies - Hancock, Incredible Hulk, Sex and the City, Wall-E!! All of them great especially Wall-E and Sex and the City. SO good. Lets see...I finished reading the Harry Potter series and thought it was incredible. I am really looking forward to the movies now that I have read them prior to seeing them (thank you Julian for getting me hooked again, haha.)
Well that's pretty much all that's happening right now in my life. I'm sure I'll be updating more via Baker - woo!
Much Love,

| Okay, I have some thoughts to share on recent happenings in my life.
The Grey's Anatomy finale was the BEST episode of that series that I've ever seen. It honestly could not have ended better. I thought the acting was incredible, the characters (minus Alex) all got conclusions or a glimpse of new beginnings to better futures and it made me happy. Now I don't know if a lot of people know this but THAT is the Grey's Anatomy that I fell in love with. It made me feel good at the end of the episode and I haven't felt like that in a long time. It was so amazing and it paralleled SO many things that I went through this year. It was everything I wanted and more. Just brilliant.
I just finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today and I gotta say it was pretty amazing. I did not see a lot of stuff coming because I never really followed the whole Harry Potter craze when it was happening so I was really taken back with the end of the book. I am so thrilled to start reading the last book because I have heard GREAT things.
I am getting really excited to start working on these MTYP shows this summer. Just seeing Cary is enough to make me so happy to be home. I can't imagine what it's going to be like when I see everyone else. I have a feeling that I know this summer is going to be amazing. Being a part of MTYP again will bring back so many great memories that make up the past 8 years of my life.
Overall, I am in a GREAT place in my life right now. I am just so happy lately and I love it. Just being home and seeing my friends who I haven't seen in SO long and having great nights with them has made me very happy. Being with my family all the time has made me in a better mood as well because I really missed being around them this year. With all of those amazing things, it is summer! I haven't been this happy in a long time and I'm gonna keep it that way. :)

| So, I am currently sitting backstage for the opera "Cosi Fan Tutti" and today is the last day of the show. This is my crew assignment for our stagecraft requirement. It actually isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It has surprisingly been very nice to have some alone time since I am always up and around with crazy school stuff. I think that all of this me time that I am having has allowed me to really take a step back and re-evaluate some things in my life.
Before I say anything, I just want to say that I have had the most AMAZING semester. I have seriously had such an amazing time this semester. I have been making new friends and have been growing so much. The thing is with any situation, there are always going to be some downs that come with the ups. Lately, my close friend and I here have not been clicking and it is the weirdest thing. I don't know how to handle it because we have been good friends for a while. I just think we are in the stages of going our own separate ways and it's becoming very apparent. I have realized that there is no use in fighting that and getting in arguments. I have decided that it is not worth my energy and time. This is real life and I knew that we were going to go our own ways anyway. I honestly don't really care though because I am making SO many new, wonderful friends that care for me and I love spending time with them. I knew this was going to happen, but it is just so weird that the process is happening now. The thing that is keeping me sane is knowing that summer is only 3-4 weeks away and I will be home with all of my wonderful friends from home who I miss so much. Don't get me wrong, I am in love with all of my friends that I have made here, but I am really looking forward to being home for a long time and not having to worry about competition. I'm just remaining positive amidst all the drama and personal tensions that are happing around me because that's all I can do. I'm going to stay focused on what I came here to do.
Wow, that was a crazy vent session that I needed to get out. I think it's best that I did it on here, haha.
Well that is pretty much all for now. I hope everyone is having a wonderful end to their year! I can't wait to see everyone over the summer. I love and miss you all SO much!
Much Love,

| So after an interesting couple of weeks and recent days, I have realized a lot of things. I am finally feeling like I'm settling in here. I'm becoming more comfortable and I love it.
These song lyrics have been really special to me lately.
Feels so good, when you’re doing all the things that you want to do.
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new.
Keep your head up high.
In yourself, believe in you, believe in me.
Having a really good time, I’m not complaining
And I’m a still wear a smile if it raining.
I got to enjoy myself regardless.
I appreciate life, I’m so glad I got mine.
So I like what I see when I’m looking at me
When I’m walking past the mirror.
No stress through the night, at a time in my life.
Ain’t worried about if you feel it.
Got my head on straight, I got my mind right.
I aint gonna let you kill it.
It’s a really good thing to say
That I won’t change my life, my life’s just fine.
It's just perfect for how I feel right now. Perfect. Everything happens for a reason and I'm where I'm supposed to be and I couldn't be happier right now.
Much Love,
Taylor. | | |
