Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Other Stuff I Missed

So it's been a while. I apologize to those of you that actually read this thing. 

I don't even have a real excuse as to why I was absent for so long. I just got lazy and every time I started writing a post, I gave up in the middle. But not this time, I promise. 

Did you have a nice Christmas? I did except that I got food poisoning Christmas Day Night from some Chinese food. Yeah, we're those kind of Jews. 

I did get some nice little things from Santa (yes, some Jews do this. At least my entire clan does) such as a book about how to be happy, some clothes, and a few little treats. We went to see Saving Mr. Banks and it was fantastic. I really thought it was wonderful. 

New Years was equally as nice, for our friends came and slept over. Me, Melanie, Emily and Travis hung out in the basement and watched The Hunger Games and almost fell asleep before midnight. 

On December 31, 2013 I purchased a car. It is a 2014 Nissan Versa, and it's a manual. That's right guys, I drive a stick shift. And it's SO HARD. I mean, once I'm actually moving it's not too bad but when I have to stop and start again... It's hard... I'm not a very good driver to begin with. 

I didn't have to work the entire winter break, which I thought was odd but it was very nice because I got to see Ryan a few times. 

Over the break, one of my best friends moved down to North Carolina. Dana, I miss you. 

I spent the first week of break basically living at her house. Me, Aria, and Emily slept over one night and we watched "Now You See Me," which was INCREDIBLY MIND BLOWING. 

She had a going away party and we all cried. I had to drive home crying. That was a poor choice. 

After that I went over and hung out with Dana a few times and helped her pack and such. Seriously girl I miss you so much. Come back </3

School started back up and... Okay well it was supposed to. We had a week and a half of delays and snow days. It was getting to be frustrating because I hadn't had a German class or a drama class in about a month. But now everything's back on schedule. The second semester just started. 

Exciting News:

I got in my application to Towson and even got my transcripts in in time, so hopefully I'll be hearing back from them soon. 

I saw Frozen (finally!!!!) and it was gorgeous. I'm taking my sisters out to see it again today. 

Biggest News: 
My school is putting on Romeo and Juliet for our spring performance. Auditions were on Wednesday and... I got the lead :) I'm going to be Juliet Capulet. I'm so excited I can't contain myself. I got my script the other day and I'm already trying to memorize bits of it. 

I'm paranoid about it being opening night and me knowing none of my lines. So I'm starting early. Seems logical, right? Or am I crazy?

Anyway that's all that's really going on in my life...

Ryan and I are still going strong :) I love him so much. Even through our bad days we've stuck together and accepted each other. I love you!!

Work is good. School is good. Rehearsals start on the 27th. 

Things are actually kind of going my way...:) 

I promise to update more often. I'll keep you up to date with the play and school and everything.
