An Update
So I realized while I was looking through my blogs that there is a large gap in time and info. I'm sure some of you who talk with me regularly know what's going on, but for the rest of you, I'll fill in the gaps.
During the summer I lived in Santa Maria, California. I worked at PCPA Theatrefest as a Costume Crafts Artisan with my friend Angie. On August 9th, my brother flew out to Cali so he could drive with me back to Texas. We had a pretty good trip and it only took us about three days to get home. Along the way we listened to a lot of music, listened to Eragon (which is a very good book and I suggest everyone to read it), and did a lot of talking. It was good to see him after three months of being gone.
We had left on a Tuesday evening and got home Thursday evening. The next day I spent packing and gathering up the rest of my stuff. My parents got me a winter jacket to battle the grueling Illinois winter and we spent a lot of time together.
Saturday morning, Dad and I woke up early and began our treck up to Illinois. About an hour into our trip I realized.. "Oh no! I forgot my portfolios!" I turned around while Dad continued and Mom met me in the middle. I was so embarrased but very grateful that she brought me my portfolio. The very reason I was going to Illinois and I had left it at home!
Dad and I reached Urbana Sunday afternoon and Dad helped me move in. He didn't stay long. Just helped me unload and then headed back home. I was sad to see him go. It won't be till November, perhaps not till December that I see my family again, and then.. perhaps not till the next Christmas.
But I started work and began to meet a lot of people. I have started going to the Vineyard church with my roommate and am quickly making many friends. I even met a girl in my department, Claire, and we're going to start a Late Night Bible Study for all us Theatre Majors that can't make the normal Bible Study times. I'm adjusting quickly and begining to really enjoy my new life here in Urbana. I still miss Dallas and my family. It's ok though, I'm happy and I'm excited about what's to come!
