Rule breaker? Meh maybe a little....

So Rebel is now done! Crazy how so much time, energy, and work can just...end..and so abruptly!

I have never been one to want to break rules but at the same time I am definitely not just a letter of the law kinda girl...but I have broken a lot of the...um...guidelines...for example the rule that you should not pick favorites........ya completely failed! Below are pics of my fav students that I got to work with during the show!

Theater = Addiction!!!!

This week my student's play opened!!!! I find theater is an addiction of mine, no matter what facet of theater I am involved in there is a feeling that comes that is addicting. Growing up I got addicted to the rush of adrenaline that pumps into your system when the lights hit you and you become/portray another person while acting onstage in a play.

HS performance of "Damn Yankees"

 In college I discovered the addicting feeling of watching something you work on come to play by being a technician and working on the set.

Working as a technician in college for a university production.

Working as a sound designer for student production in college.

Now I have discovered a new addiction! The feeling of watching your students work hard in rehearsing and then succeeding in performance! Watching them feel that feeling I discovered growing up from performing is a whole new rush of awesome feelings! Their eyes get the glow and their countenance beams with their new found confidence...they have a look.... that you can tell they are thinking that they can now accomplish anything! Now THAT is an addicting feeling!

HAIRCUT!

New haircut pics! My hair was still a broken tangled mess from when I had staples put in my head and yesterday I finally cut the tangles and breakage off!

I think it makes me look younger but the hair person said it made me look older. What do you think? Keep in mind that I have no makeup on...so younger or older?

UPDATE!!! and reflection...

Alrighty! Well I have been urged to update my blog. It is so easy for me to slip out of doing something. I do things well for a bit and then I just stop so the urgin is appreciated! :) So to help motivate me I am going to update part of my blog as a reflection of my student teaching that I will use in my portfolio at the end of the experience that is suppose to prove to some big whigs that I taught my kids well, they learned something, and that I should be a CERTIFIED teacher (well in some places...some places I have to take more tests...like Texas! Fooey!). So some parts of this blog is not going to be very entertaining but I will be sure to separate and indicate what parts are reflection and what parts are fun stories and such.
