Tech Week

I am very excited because I think I just found my audition song for next semester. It is very short but its the best option that I have found so far. Now all I need is a monologue which is proving very hard to find.

Besides that the only other thing going on here is the fact that it is tech week...oh boy. Although it does get me out of the shop for pretty much the rest of the summer which I am very happy about.
I can't believe that this summer is almost over. I'm ready to go home, I'm ready to be in a shop where people don't cause so much drama. I thought CSU was bad, no. There is much unnecessary conflict in this shop its not even funny.

But God I miss you

So something that seems to be a popular topic of blogging the past couple of days, and that would be home. Which is sort of ironic because thats what I have been thinking about a lot these past four weeks. I have never been one to get homesick, I think its only really happened a few times since I moved to Columbus and it never really lasted long. But this whole time that I have been up here I have been horribly homesick. The sad part is, I don't miss being in Paulding county. I miss my friends from there, but I always do. I miss being in Columbus, so much.

In Columbus I was finally able to find myself and be indpendent. It scared me at frist how fast Columbus became my home since it took years for me to feel at home in Paulding. I worry that I will turn into one of those people who seem to get stuck in Columbus. I know that this is only a stop on the journey for me, that I am not meant to stay, but it holds this place in my heart that I don't want to think about giving away just yet.

Another thing that has been on my mind a lot lately is Kelley. Tomorrow, well really in an hour, it will be one year since she died. It seems so strange to me that its already been a year, it feels like Kelly went of to CLIMB and she will be back next semester even though I know it isn't true. I was never very close to Kelly, I knew who she was, I did a free stage with her and I feel blessed to have known her in that small capacity. However over the course of this year by getting to know people better who knew her so well, I feel like I've gotten to know her better. It makes me sad, and I miss her but its just so strange becuase I didn't know her that well.

And so to tie these two ramblings together, Scott introduced me to an artist by the name of Gavin Mikhail, if you have not heard his music I strongly recomend him. He has a song called Days Gone By which seems to be very fitting for this post so enjoy.

Time to move on

So call me a sheep but I'm following the crowd.
I have decided to graduate from xanga and try this type of blogging for a change.
For me writing is one of my biggest ways to escape, I can easily write what I want to say but can hardly ever say it.

So lets start this off with the basics.
My name is Brittain Mackinzie and I am a Junior at Columbus State University where I am pursing a degree in theatre performance. I am an only child and am freakishly close to my parents. My friends are everything to me. I love to Dance, sing and act and couldn't live wihtout any of them. I fall hard and I fall fast and I have a hard time letting go.

This summer I am in Interlochen MI at a performing arts camp. Its really hard being away from the people I love. And when I say away I mean 1045 from Columbus. I am learning a lot and making amazing friends but I am horibbly homesick.

My suitmates are now dragging me out for the night so this will have to be all for now.
