Anyway, Nutcracker has been done for 3 days now, and I guess I'm more relieved than sad. But I'm still sad. The performances went better than I could have possibly expected them to. I had more fun dancing Snow Queen on stage, and it finally felt like all those tears were worth it. I've never cried so much over a role ever, and it was more amazing than I could have imagined. Truth be told, I am a little sad it's over though. That was my last IUBT Nutcracker. That is the 2nd to last time I will share the MAC stage with them. There is nothing like the friendships I have with these people. We've been through everything together the last 2 1/2 years and I can't believe that in a few short months, I will be an alumna of Indiana University and will be leaving behind all the wonderful people that this place has allowed me to meet. I never wanted to do college. And it has turned into the most incredible and unexpected blessing in my life. Best, most important decision ever. I just need not to focus so much on the imminence of graduation and savor my last semester of college with the best friends ever.
I finally finished my Chaucer paper last night (thank God). Not sure how I did and I honestly don't care all that much...though I probably will when I get it back...ugh. I'm really bummed because I basically have nothing to do for the next week...my only two finals are next Thursday and Friday. Cruel, cruel joke, Registrar's Office. I just want to be home. Praying for motivation and resolve for this last week.
I cannot wait to be home with family celebrating Christmas...I feel like I haven't really been able to enjoy the season yet because I've been so swamped with Nutcracker and school and it being 7 degrees here in Btown.
Alrighty, I'm off to watch more bad made-for-tv Christmas movies in an effort to take my mind off how hungry I am and then head to bed. I hope all of you who are studying for finals are fairing better than I am. Safe travels for those of you making journeys home soon. <3
