very, very busy lady

Hello friends,

 So my life the past few weeks days, has been super busy (see title) but I am determined to blog!  So here is a catch up of the events of the past week.


I had my first essay exam for Theater Heritage due last Wednesday.  And when I say essay exam, I mean BEAST.  Literally.  That thing was a beast.  The paper itself was ten pages (and that was only answering TWO questions), then on top of that, I had to write a 2-5 page scene.  So naturally, me being me, I wrote a five page play.  Not a scene, a Play.  It was considerably longer than the other ones.  Last Wednesday I was a zombie.  I was up till four in the morning writing the first part of the exam, then I had to go over it with my professor at 12:30pm.  She liked what I had written in my zombie state.  I turned it in officially yesterday, so let's hope I do well! Gotta keep my department 4.0!


 Thursday was the start of Pacific's fall break and this year I got to go home! Yay!

On Friday, I woke up and got to watch all the TV I have been missing! (and I got to snuggle with my Murph-Dog) Then Allie and I got our Flu shots, and drove down to Orange with Justine to see Trevor (Allie's Boyfriend) in Chapman's production of Company.  He was amazing.  Its been awhile since I've seen him perform and I forgot how good he is (not that I forgot, but I forgot).  And he got his first KCACTF Nomination for his performance.  If only we were going to the same festival, we could hang out for a week.  Before the performance we went to this adorable Cupcake Shop in downtown Orange!

The Perfect Circle Cupcakery,
which won Cupcake Wars on Food network!

Tuxedo Cupcake.

Then on Saturday, my dad woke me up and we went out for breakfast. Then Allie, my Dad and I went to an Alpaca Farm.  Yes.  An Alpaca farm.  My sister is obsessed with them (don't ask me why), so she dragged us out there ( it was only about 10 minutes away from my house).  The sad thing is that that was not my first time going to and Alpaca farm.  Then we went and picked our own Blackberries and Raspberries!  After that we went home and I pulled my pumpkin off the vine (I've been growing it since June).  I'm quite the accomplished farmer.  That night Allie, Justine and I went to Souplantation for dinner, then saw The Amazing Spiderman at the $3 theater.  Can I just say how attractive Andrew Garfield is?

Fresh Picked Raspberries.

My Pumpkin! 

On Sunday morning, my Dad cooked his traditional Sunday morning breakfast (cardboard pancakes and all), then I edited my monster paper.  Then the fam-bam and Justine went to the Outlets.  I really hate shopping.  It gives me panic attacks.  Unless I find something that I like then I get excited.  For example we went to Aldo and I found these really cute wedges for $30 (originally $100) so I bought two pairs :)  Then  my weekend came to a close, and I had to fly back to school :(









The exciting thing is that Dad's Day is in two weeks, so I'll be seeing my daddy again very soon! Too bad he can't bring the Murph with him.


That's all for now!

XOXO

I am so excited!!!

In about 150 days I will be boarding a plane for LONDON, ENGLAND!

I am so excited, you don't even know.  It has been one of my life long dreams to go to London.  Its the birth place of of WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE for heavens sake (well England is).  The globe is there, and the crown jewels, and harrods, and Buckingham Palace, and the Olympic Stadium where Michael Phelps made history this summer!  The city of London has so much history and culture, and I am ecstatic to soak it all in.

The best part is that almost all of my best friends are going!  Amanda, and Amy, and my sister too!  Still working on Cortney!


So if my posts become centered around London, in the coming months do not be surprised.


I have a feeling that this Spring Break is going to be one of the best of my life.


BTW if you are a Pacific (or non-pacific student who is friends with a pacific student) and want to go to London over spring break, here's the link to the program.  It's a great deal!

More to come!

Keep Calm and Carry On!

Disappointed

So I came across my blog the other day, and I realized that I have not posted on in it in about a year.  Which made me very disappointed with myself!  Last fall I promised myself that I would post regularly on here, and I failed to keep that promise to myself.

Things are going to change.  Now.

Its a new school year, new beginning, and a new look on life.  I'm going to implement a change in me, and I'm going to stick to it.



Watch out world.  Here I come.

Dad's Day!

So last week was Dad's day at the Delta Delta Delta house! My Daddy flew up from Burbank and I picked him up at the Sacramento Airport! (I felt so grown up picking up my dad to visit me :D )

I thought he was going to be bored, and he would never ever come up for it again.  But, shocker to me, he loved it! He kept raving about how much he enjoyed it and how he can't wait to go again next year!

It was really nice to spend some quality time with my Dad.  Being a daddy's girl is hard when you live 350 miles away.

Anyway here are some pics from the event!

XOXO,
Kate

Of course Dad had to take a pic of the Bear Family!
(He enjoyed seeing Amanda again and meeting Carolyn)

And here he goes with the pictures again! He wanted
a shot of (most) of the whole group.

Finally a picture with my Dad!

I Need a Pageant song!

I'm running for Miss San Joaquin County again in March, and I really need to find a song for the talent section of the competition!  I'm thinking about Astonishing form Little Women the Musical, but I don't know if I can do the belting without seeing my voice coach.  Help!? Any ideas? :)


XOXO,
Kate

The moment that you realize...

that you are truly happy.

Honestly, I don't think I have been this happy with my life or have truly been  myself in a long time.  I laugh a good five minutes every day, and I always have a friend to turn to or to hang out with.  Gone are the days of paranoia about being alone.  I now know that I have friends who care about me and are here for me when I need someone to talk to.  People ask me if I want to hang out with them or invite me to things all the time.  I haven't been locked up in my room alone on a weekend in a long long time.

And the best  part? I don't dwell on the fact that I'm not dating anyone anymore.  My new motto: If it happens, it happens.  I'm not going to dwell on it anymore, I get to go out with my friends and my sisters and have fun.  And you know what they say, when you stop worrying about something or thinking about something, thats when it finally happens.  So who knows, maybe someday soon I'll be gushing about a boy on here :)


and I know that I promised that I will post on here more often, but I've been busy. School, Antigone, and my sorority have been taking up most of my time.  But Antigone is now over (it has been for two weeks now), I'm trying to buckle down and do my homework, and manage my time again.

I'm also looking into trying new things.  Like Quiddich! I think I'm going to audition for the Pacific team.  Oh, I'm sorry, I mean "Try Out"  the Theater Girl in me just can't get the terms right.  Remember its "Try Out" not "Audition" and its "Practice" and not "Rehearse" whatever.  I'll say what comes out of my mouth.

Talk  to you all soon

XOXO,
Kate

P.S. I miss my family sooo much.  I'm excited to go home for Thanksgiving in a few weeks :)
