The Little Things

*Editor's Note: This Blog entry is going to be littered with things that make me smile :-D*

I really hate this time of year. Do you want to know why? It's always a time of physical and emotional pain that I dread each year. I thought after experiencing it once then it might not be so hard after that. Nope! It only gets harder as you, um...get older?

First things first are the goodbyes. I'm not going to get all sappy and say I'm going to be lost without this years senior class because that would be a lie. Hell, I'm going to miss them like crazy, but Sophomore year has proven well enough that the world does not end when the graduated senior class isn't around as often. Oh it sucks, but they come back. They always do! Honestly, the ones I care about are close enough that I'll get to see them all summer long, or at least from time to time. I'm just happy that the ones who truly make me smile are so close to home!


Okay, so I admit it: I'm going to miss the class of 2008. Don't think you're so special though, because I said I was going to miss the class of 2007 too! Anyhoo, they say that when a senior class leaves then you should cling to the next class above you and your class for comfort. That's all well and fine except a bunch of my closest friends in those classes are not going to be at school first semester! Tough break, tough break. Oh well, I still love them anyway. And it'll only make it more fun when they come back for spring semester!


Well that was pretty much the grunt of the "emotional pain" segment. Unfortunately the physical pain portion is the only part weighing me down these days. I've been working at Sesame for three weeks now and have yet to do Elmo in the shows. I've been Abby every... freakin... day. Words cannot express the pain I'm in. All I keep telling myself is "my body will get used to it again, my body will get used to it again", but to tell you the truth, I don't remember my head hurting this bad in years past. That's the only thing that's bothering me. Pulled muscles, pinched nerves, and bruises I can live with. But the tension/sinus headaches and the bruised scalp really make it hard to stay awake at work, let alone for doing anything after. Ya know, like that stupid calculus class I have every Tuesday and Thursday night. Not cool!


I guess the only positive thing I can say about Sesame right now is that, um...I'm a cute Abby? Yeah, that's the ticket! No really, I'm kinda looking forward to next week's schedule. And by next week I mean June 9th - 15th. Wanna know why? Because on Tuesday, June 10th John and Kate Plus 8 are coming to Sesame Place! That means, if I'm in cast on Tuesday (which is very likely, considering all the high schoolers will be in school) I could be on TV! So I'm kinda waiting for the schedule to go up. I really hope I'm not something lame like character walks or something.


That's about it for my life right now. All I really have to say about self reflection is that summer has brought a lot of freedom. Okay, so I have a calc class two nights a week and Sesame is already eating my body & soul and we haven't even started full time yet...BESIDES THAT, I've come to really appreciate the little things: the random IMs, the goofy hang-out sessions, the hoard of bumper stickers, the crazy texts, the late-night phone calls, and the quality time with besties I'm thankful to have snuck in my effed-up schedule from time to time. Seriously, it's the little things that have been my energy boost between shows at work, my jolt to keep me awake after work, and my laughter which has distracted me from my aching muscles better than Motrin. Seriously, you all crack my shit up and at the time when I need it most. So for that, I tip my hat to you...and now my neck is stuck in that position, eek!




And as someone smart *COUGH* not Dan *COUGH* is currently telling me: it's bedtime. Gotta go to work in the mornin'
