Sometimes you have to travel through Dirt

The weeks fly by like thoughts in the night , yet the days are tryingly long. Each day serves a different obstacle. Whether it be internally, mentally , physically , emotionally or spiritually. Yet at the end of the day something always seems to turn around. A smile emerges , even if for a second , it's there. Sweet reminders of friends and family. Smells of home. Glimpses of a sunlight stretching over green hills. God reminding me He's there. I feel His presence in the sway of the willow trees. His sun rays  just when I need a bit of light in my day.

Our days at school are full , weeks just the same. So you can have a clearer picture , I thought of writing it out for you:

So there you have it ! :D My weeks and days in a nutshell. It's very interesting and quite a different experience being in school for Theatre. The informational meetings / career meetings are so polar to what I am use to hearing in those sorts of meetings. Then our class discussions , readings and course topics are complete 180s from what I have been taught all my life. So naturally I'm rebelling. That is not to say that I refuse to do my work or take advice or do my best. More so, I mentally and perhaps even emotionally keep myself at a distance. At times I feel very different from my other classmates in their approaches to the material. They seem much more enthusiastic and eager to obtain the concepts and methods in class than I . Perhaps , because our goals are unique to our individual purposes. It's funny. I'm still trying to rap my head around the fact that I am in school for theatre and am surrounded by theatre people. I think I am just now coming to realize the leap of faith I just took; moving to London to get my Masters in Theatre. WOW ! :O It's um kind of a lot to swallow. However, I'm keeping that leap of faith. Trekking on,  learning and growing up each day. Though it may be inch by inch , there's movement. And that. . . that's empowering.
