Why this title? Well, first of all "Break A Leg" is a theater term (hopefully you knew that). Early on in this project I have suffered the painful effects of indecisiveness. Even though I have learned a lot, it hasn't been easy. This experience is very beneficial for me, and God is using every trial to strengthen me to become more like Him, but I hope I don't get physically wounded in the process. :)

Entry 3: "Somethin's Coming"
Wow, time flies by. I mean honestly, there's only one weekend before proposal time. Really?! Where does time go?! We really are a vapor and this is definitely a wind storm because I feel like I cannot catch my breath! By the way, my title of this blog "Something's Comin'" is from one of my favorite musicals, West Side Story. It's a famous song and if you do not know it, I encourage you to go out and rent it! It's brilliant. However, that is not the point of this blog. We're supposed to inform all what we have been learning from our project..and to be honest I've learned how grades control many of my actions. If something is not graded, I tend to set it aside until later. It always gets done, but it never gets done as soon as it should. I am really being tested through the Senior Project experience. I have to study more about my research paper for this project and I still have several lessons I want to set up before the Proposal date. However, every other teacher desires for us to excel in our learning and I volunteered to help backstage at the Spartanburg Little Theatre. Oh the joys of a busy schedule! I'm trying to look to God and manage my time well, but it keeps getting harder the closer the dates approach and the more I realize I have a lot to do. But who am I to complain? I know this is teaching me life lessons and I need to learn how to handle stress and handle it well. Life is not a walk in a park and all of these trials are being used for me to grow and change to become like Christ. It's just easier said than done. I still haven't found a one woman show yet, but to be honest I haven't been looking dilligently yet. But I am going to have one picked out by October: most definitely. I am getting things done one step at a time and I hope to do this all the way until graduation..so far I'm stumbling but there have been far less tears so far this year than the beginning of last year so I praise God for that and I am encouraged to excel on this Senior Project/year journey and put forth my best effort in everything I am doing at the present time!!

ReplyDeleteNicole,
ReplyDeleteNice job today with your proposal. Way to get us involved from the very beginning! I think this project will be very rewarding for you!
:)) Thank you! I was very excited about turning the tables a little bit to be honest-I'm glad y'all were so willing to participate! I'm very excited about the project myself, I can't wait to start lessons!
ReplyDeleteI loved the way you very easily handled the kinks we threw at you. After all not all squirrels are
ReplyDeletesmart enough to store provisions for later. I have no doubt that you will do equally well handling those occasionally over eager students. I really look forward to seeing how your project progresses.
