I am now updating this blog.

This blog is WAY out of date.  Actually, it's been out of date for many weeks, but that hasn't forced me to update it.  Now that I have a bunch of stuff to do and no motivation to do it- I blog.

I am discovering that the sworn enemy of productivity and self-control is disappointment, at least for me.  Yeah, it looks like I won't be spending my summer in Washington D.C. dressed as an eighteenth century revolutionist, working at a gristmill and/or making beer at a distillery.  I also will not be attending a Single's Ward in Virginia or taking improv classes at the WIT.

Instead I will be at home, doing other wonderful things, but not being able to avoid seeing particular people.  I am bummed, but I will get over it- I've learned that from life.  And I'm still looking into a few other options for fun things to do this summer.  At the very least, I can can always go visit my sister in Hawaii.

Despite how the first part of this blog post may sound, my life really has been pretty awesome recently- not because of different events in it, but because I'm trying really hard to improve my attitude and trust in the Lord, and it's working.  I know that being home will be for the best, even if I don't understand why right now.  I guess God will keep teaching me this lesson over and over again until I learn it, so here we go.

In other news, I was in a short film a friend made for the Fringe Film Festival.  You can see it (and vote for it until April 14!) at www.arts.usu/fringe.  It's called "Silly Love Games." Yeah, I play the hottest girl in the world. :)

Have a great Monday,
Rachel
