Day 14 - A Picture of Me From Last Year and How I've Changed
Well, most noticeably, I got a haircut. I mean super short with the back shaved... so yeah. That's changed... Also, I don't really wear my glasses anymore, but I should. I just forgot for a few weeks and then I just didn't bother. But, my eyes have been getting really tired recently which makes them twitch every now and then, which is fun, so I might start wearing them again, I don't know. That's pretty much all that has changed on the outside. I'll just make a list of everything that has changed that is not able to be seen with the eye: I am more confident, I am now a rising Junior, I have WAY more responsibility, I am going to be in a main-stage show, I think I am more mature, I am ready for college (mentally), I am now fully worried about applying to college, I watch the Office, Modern Family, and Arrested Development, I am not taking any outside classes, I am much more focused. Phew, I am sure there is more, but that is all that I can think of right now.

Day 8 - A Place I've Traveled
When I was nine my family and I went to Jutland, Denmark and it was beautiful. The beaches there aren't covered in sand though, they're covered in rocks and little pebbles. Which I think is cool.

Ugh, I want some right now. Please?

Day 5 - Song That Describes My Mood Right Now
This Ain't Goodbye - Train
Afraid to let go
The only two who understood this place
And as far as we know
We were way before our time
As bold as we were blind
Just another perfect mistake
Another bridge to take
On the way of letting go,
This ain't goodbye
This is just where love goes
When words aren't warm enough to keep away the cold
This ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine, not the way you've always been
As long as we've got time
Then this ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
We were stars up in the sunlit sky
No one else could see
Neither of us ever thought to ask why
It wasn't meant to be
Maybe we were way too high
To ever understand
Maybe we were victims of all the foolish plans
We began to devise
But this ain't goodbye
This is just the way love goes
When words aren't warm enough to keep away the cold.
This ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Just like the way you've always been
As long as we've got time,
This ain't goodbye,
Oh no, this ain't good bye, oh oh, oh no this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye
You and I were friends from outer space
Afraid to let go
The only two who understood this place
And as far as we know
This ain't goodbye
Oh no this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye oh no this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye
It's just the way love goes
But where's that woman now, to keep away the cold, oh no?
This ain't goodbye
This isn't where the story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Like the way you've always been
This ain't goodbye
Day 4 - My Parents
My parents support me. Which is the best. Also, I have the GREATEST mom in the world, and I'm not just saying that. I am serious. My mom is the reason why I am what I am today, and I am so thankful for her.
Day 1 - 15 Things About Me
Yes. That is me. In the middle. Posing for the camera. Why? Because I am a super model. 1. I am 16, however I have felt 16 for the past three or four years of my life so my "sweet 16" was somewhat anticlimactic.
2. I am a Christian AND I have a functioning brain. BAM!
3. I want to be in a hit Broadway show, TV show, and movie... and win lots of awards.
4. Dance and acting (mainly improv) are my outlets.
5. I can be very emotional.
6. I wish that I had taken dance and learning how to play piano seriously when I was younger.
7. If I where an animal I like to think that I would be a whale. I love splashing in the pool. Also, pretty much everyone loves whales.
8. I am most afraid of being late and being paralyzed.
9. Also, I'm afraid of not getting into a good college... and disappointing people.
10. I am obsessed with the Office, Modern Family, and Arrested Development.
11. Some people make fun of me for being short but it's one of my favorite things about myself.
12. My greatest wish is to find someone who loves me as much as Jim loves Pam... and for us to get married. Also, I wish for there to be no Roy or Karen in the picture.
13. 13 is my favorite number. Always has been, always will be.
14. I don't like sweets. I would rather have two cheeseburgers than have a cheeseburger and dessert.
15. I hate saying goodbye to people. It's the worst.

Because I Can't Sleep... and God is so GOOD.
Wow. I have not blogged in ages... and ages.. and I can't sleep... so this is gonna be a train of thought post... brace yo' self.
I was in a show, All Shook Up, and I was the dance captain, which was HUGE for me. I didn't know that they were going to ask me, a head of time, and on the first day of rehearsals they announced, "So and So is our Production Manager and our Dance Captain is going to be Haley." It was kind of surreal. Mainly because I am a rising Junior and there were people in the cast who have not only been at this theatre longer but are also older than me. I was beyond flattered that they thought that much of me, and I can now honestly say I know what if feels like to feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I swear it felt like someone poured warm water straight from my head to my toes.
Also, on opening night our director, who is also directing a main-stage show soon, gave all of the principle characters thank you notes and words of encouragement. I was expecting something along the lines of, "Thanks for all of your hard work, have a great show." But instead, I see the words, "Will you be in ____?" I AM GOING TO BE IN A MAIN-STAGE SHOW. WHAT?
Over these past three years that I have been at this theatre, and this past year especially, I have tried really hard not only to excel and be the best that I can be, but also to be reliable and the type of person that the instructors want to have around. Even though it's what I want to do for the rest of my life, and I wouldn't trade this experience for the world, it is A LOT of work and it's nice to see that all of my efforts are paying off. God is so GOOD. I am so thankful for the opportunities that He gives me, and the guidance that He gives me to make the right, and sometimes the harder, decisions in my life.
As most everyone knows, school is starting soon, and, as I mentioned before, I am a rising Junior, but here's the thing, 95% of my friends graduated this past year, and that means that they have already left or are leaving in this next week to go to college. The fact that they would be leaving have been looming over me for the past year, but it has really hit me tonight, and I am 99.9% sure that is why I can't sleep. I don't know what I am going to do this next year without them. I KNOW that God will help me through this rough patch while my emotions are raw and I just feel like crying... and Hallelujah for the internet and Skype. At least we will be able to stay in touch. It's mostly just the dance classes and acting classes where I will notice the gaping hole. My love for these girls that are going off to college is great that I don't think anyone could even comprehend how much I will and do miss them. I know that they will all do great things, and I can't wait to catch up with them this coming Christmas break!! It's going to be hard, but I will make it through with His help, and I will learn and grow from this change.
I think I needed to vent more than anything tonight, or this morning I guess, and I feel better now that my thoughts are all laid out in front of me.
Also, did I mention that I am obsessed with the Office? Because I am.
I can't wait until dance, TV shows, and school (surprisingly) start up again! And I can't wait to hit the ground running. This year will be better than the last.
Lastly, I am going to try really hard to hardcore document my life this year via this blog, pictures, Facebook, and video.
Okay I think that is enough for one post. Phew!
Good morning!
