The New Year

Happy New Year! Well, lets hope it is anyways. My car lights are acting strange right now, my outlets in just my room are out for some reason, and lets just say everything today has been a little strange. And more information that is really weird has come to my attention this week that for now I am just going to pretend didn't happen for a little while.

School has now started up again and I am still in the Interpreting Program which means I passed last quarters classes!! Yay! Play practice for Richard III is on its way and we are already making terrific progress. Getting stress under control, which also means getting my temper under control is a bit hard since it was just the first week of classes. Lets hope everything goes well :)

Snow, Holidays, and Auditions

We had quite the snow storm last night. It took me a while to dig out my car and warm it up. Thank goodness there was no school today. Still have lost of homework though. I've been trying to work out and dance more often than I was but with so much school work, it can prove difficult. I still am not sure what we are doing for Thanksgiving as of right now, but I'm sure everything will be sorted out soon. Next Monday and Tuesday at SFCC is the auditions for Shakespeare's King Richard III. Everyone is welcome to audition. there are tons of roles to be filled. I'm getting my monologue all ready this week. I'm really excited for this one!

Pray for our Family

Last night my cousin and his wife were involved in a car accident. Jerod passed away in the hospital. Amanda will be alright. It has been a very difficult day for me to deal with this. I pray that my Aunt will be ok and have a good healing process. Around the holidays doesn't help the situation either. It was a long night. Please pray for my family.

The Good Woman Of Setzuan

I am finally feeling better since I got antibiotics. It kept my bronchitis from becoming pneumonia. My interpreting class is so tiring with all the homework and practice but I know eventually it will pay off. Dad and Annelise are almost done with the living room of repainting it and took out the carpet so it is a nice wooden floor now. soon new furniture.

Also I want to tell everyone that the SFCC production of "The Good Woman of Setzuan" opens next Thursday night at 7:30pm. it runs 2 weeks and Thursdays through Saturdays are 7:30 pm and Sundays at 2pm. Its gonna be a good show and I will be a little hard to recognize at first. Free to students and $8 suggested donation for everyone else. See a really cool interview of it @

www.Spokanefalls.edu and go to courses and programs, then click on pre-majors/transfer, then to drama. on that page you will find a link called Watch and interview. Hope to see you there!

Weddings and Vegas

Dad and Anneliese went to Las Vegas for a week. Sunday is her son (my stepbrother) Jesh's wedding. In the mean time, I am going to school and taking care of the house. Today was my good friend Karen's wedding. It was beautiful and lots of fun. I wish them best wishes.

Also, if anyone needs Christmas gifts, I have some specials going on. You can take a look at my website: www.marykay.com/rprovoncha I have price ranges and ideas for everyone, men and women and it will all be sent to you wrapped ready to open. Just let me know.

Classes

I survived the second week back to school should be what my t-shirt says right now. I am tired. The cooks came home from Africa today and I got to see all their pictures. It was sooo cool. I also had to practice my receptive skills in ASL. they are so weak. Uhg. I'm sure I will get it soon enough though. And makeup and costumes for the next play as a Chinese God is gonna be awesome!

Ipod, Broadway, Plays and Singing

My ipod itunes program updated and now it's being stupid with not wanting to "find" some of my downloaded music files. GRRRR. I listened to some other music then and then I remembered as I was listening to my Broadway music selections that I once wanted to me a musical Broadway star. I don't know what ever happened to that dream. I just started going in two or three different directions instead and yet that one seems the most fun yet so hard to get into. We have to sing for the next show at the Falls and I realized it has been so long since I have actually sang which mean out of practice. The auditions are Monday. I should try to join a choir of something to get back into practice. Well enough of that thought line. Time to think about dad's wedding tomorrow.
