Update... phew, finally. AND PIX!

It's been awhile since I've blogged or updated. I know. I've been busy and my body's been tired and exhausted. Yes, even to post a couple pix and type out a few sentences.
You know me, a 'few sentences' is never the case anyway.

I went to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art a few weeks ago for a class project. Thought this was pretty cool.



I also saw this guy!! I think it's David Caruso from CSI: Miami!
This is what he looks like from the front.


Obviously I didn't take this picture, otherwise I would have been more sure that it was really him.  ;)






The Vagina Monologues went well. I've been rehearsing for it since the beginning of the quarter and we just had our three shows this past weekend. I've met this great group of ladies, only a few of whom are actually drama majors, but they were all terrific. The monologues were touching and moving and some even funny! If you ever get a chance to see the show, don't hesitate. Don't be thrown off by the title; it's really an amazing show for an incredible cause.

Lauren, Jenna, me and Dominique.
Goofballs.


Someone made vagina chocolate pops too. They were pretty tasty, I have to say.
And mom and I took a picture with her sock monkey and the show program for her small group.





Next up for me: Trying to get infusions in Irvine. I've called many people, many doctor's offices, many companies. I'm so close, I can taste it. My body can't FEEL it being close, but it will be feeling better very soon. My school insurance will finally start covering my "specialty" doctor and infusion visits up to 80% starting March 21st. Eh, 80% is not great considering it's $1500 for the drug alone and about $300 for the registered nurse to infuse me, but it's better than naught.

Also, I'm taking voice lessons from a gentleman in Van Nuys now. I'm working hard, singing hard and looking forward to the near day that I get to stick it to the man and show these instructors here at UCI that they've been ridiculous not letting me in their Musical Theatre classes thus far. Next quarter is the quarter. When I get in Spring quarter, I can then audition for the Musical Theatre III workshop and the Musical Theatre BFA program for next Fall and on. Otherwise, I could have graduated this Spring with a Drama B.A. But that's silly working since middle school - on the '4-year university' track - and only ending up being at a university for ONE YEAR?? Silliness. Mad silliness. So, I will stay and get into the BFA program.

Also..... SUUUUPER UUUBER EXCITING: I'm going to be studying abroad in ITALY this summer!! Woot!

I'll start blogging more again. 
I've always got so much going on, so its never that I have nothin' to say. 
When does that ever happen for Lizz?
