The Time Of My Life

Hello all!

Just back for another round of blogging, here. I think I just blog in sections, because after awhile I just feel the need to blog again. I realize that doesn't help those of you who like to read about people's lives on a routine basis, but...Its something, right?

Anywho, I just wanted to write about the end of the school year and beginning of summer and things. The last month or so of school was pretty crazy for me.

The guy I talked about previously, Mark Jacobsen, and I started officially dating on April 2nd. That was a majorly happy moment for me. :]

Then came the annual Theatre Banquet at school, which was a ton of fun. As was the 90's bash afterward. There were some hilarious videos, funny joke-awards, good food, and moving moments and speeches. There were some great dresses at banquet, handsome looking men, and then some nasty 90's attire across the board at the after party. I personally got a 500 dollar scholarship that I'm excited for, and a lot of other people got some too. :]



You can't see it, but Zac had on a hat with hair coming out of it at the 90's bash. He looked like something strait out of Nsync!!

Cute guys. ;]

Jarrod!

I love this guy! Had such a good time in out show with him! You can kind of see Zac's hat cause he's being a CREEPER in the back!

After that was finals and moving out. Moving out was very bittersweet. I was happy to get out of the dorms, but not fully excited to leave school. I am going to miss the friends I had made this year. I was going to miss the random hanging out that occured every night. The productions. The classes- for the most part. And although, I have it so much easier than a lot of people at home, the independence.

My room after we moved all of our things out, I was waiting to get checked out. Very depressing looking room. Ha.

Mark liked to leave little signs that he had been there...This was his last.


He'd also always leave smiley faces on our board that someone always erased- irked him like crazy!

Leaving school also meant leaving Mr. Smiley up there ^. Something I was not at all excited about. We had gotten into a kind of routine that I was loving, lol, and now I had to leave to go home. Mark is staying in Warrensburg for two months of the summer working with Central Missouri Reperatory Theatre (this is our school's professional summerstock theatre company), then he'll go back to his home in Fulton. As it is now, he's only about an hour away from me, which wouldn't be that bad if I had a car and money enough to go up there every couple weeks. But alas, I do not. And neither does he. Long distance relationships are hard work, and a lot different than I thought they would be. I am the type of person who loves being around their significant other, and so this summer is going to be difficult.

It was nice, however, because of this that I got to jump head long into a show right when I got home. My first show, Franklin, went up a few weeks ago. It was an incredibly hard show to put up, with many hurdles to jump over. Somehow we got through the show every night, and closed the show. Now I'm in another show, one that is already going better than the last. It is called Best of Broadway. It is a musical review, and I'm enjoying it quite a lot. But then, I would right? Its musical numbers. The people are a blast to work with, and I'm loving some of the songs I get to sing. We also have longer to put this show together- a month versus a week for Franklin. Its been an...interesting process thus far, but I'm enjoying it nevertheless. Best of Broadway goes up June 9th, 10th, and 11th. For ticket information let me know. I can get you cheaper tickets than at the door. The next show, Godspell goes up in July, also.

Last week, sometime, I got to go to Olathe for a few days and see some of my friends form there. It was a lot of fun, and nice to catch up with them. I also got to hang out with and talk to my Dad a lot, so that was nice.

This last weekend, I went to the Burg and surprised Mark. He was coming back from home for his brother's confirmation. Matt and I picked him up from the train station. I hung out with he and matt for the night. It was a fun time, and it was really good to see him. You know, regardless of the difficulty of a long distance relationship, I am fully enjoying my relationship with Mark. We go well together, and always have fun, no matter what. The little stuff isn't taken for granted, and that is something I've always wanted.

Well, that is what is going on in the life and times of Hannah Williams. Again, let me know if you want to come to any of the other shows, and I'll get you cheaper tickets! :]
