Farewell! Farewell! Great Ship, TITANIC!

Tonight was closing night of Titanic: The Musical which I was very glad to be a part of! The things I learned about history, people, skills, spiritual thoughts on the Gospel were irreplaceable. I don't care if people came and all they got was "it was a good show with music put to history" or whatever they thought -- because I was able to learn and grow from this experience. I got to know many more people both in the cast and on the actual ship, Titanic. We had cast appreciation night tonight which made me know that the friendships I've made at the SCERA can last. I love the opportunity Acting Up presents to all those who participate with it. I'm so glad that it is an atmosphere which I feel safe in. I can separate myself from school problems and be engulfed by the love I feel when I come to those I know at the SCERA. I was upset with some people, but then I realized how blessed I am to have such caring friends at the SCERA.
We were given a name to specifically appreciate tonight and I got Dallin Penrod. I was nervous about what to do because our friendship consists of only a few conversations every once in a while. I got him an Iron Man coloring book because he loves Iron Man. I was so relieved when I saw that he loved it! The gifts and notes that were exchanged throughout the room created such a friendly atmosphere. Then we signed posters and I read them when I got home. I loved everything that people wrote and I felt so special.
On another note, I made Student Council! I'm so excited for everything to come!
Schedules were a little cramped because I didn't know about what needed to be done for Student Council so I couldn't do a lot this past two weeks because Titanic had priority since I was committed to it before Student Council started. I went through many battles of guilt which I can push aside now that I can plan for future conflicts better. Well, since it is past 1:00 AM I should go to bed. But SPRING BREAK is this week! I have my interview for Allyse's Bridal Fashion Team on Monday and no other plans but homework so I've got an open week!
