It's time for BIG FUN.

In a not so shocking turn of events, I can't sleep! But, luckily that means I can type and think. I wrote an entire post out a month ago that I was going to add pictures to and post but I never did so it seems irrelevant now.

Here I am world! Alive and well...I think. I go to my doctor this week so we'll find out for sure. So for now, I'm alive and FEELING well! Except for the cold and cough I have and the back pain. You know what? Not important.

What is up mah dudez? I'm a second semester senior and I am so excited to almost be done with my 10 years in college. I feel worn out, aged, and oh so TIRED. My freshman year feels like a lifetime ago and transferring took me to a whole different life.

Well what have I been up to this semester? I had some really cool classes that I worked super hard in and loved. Here's the thing, the stuff we learn and the projects we do are important. I'm not saying the things you did in your college classes aren't important. All your tests and worksheets. I'm just saying that I developed an entire series this semester, wrote a pilot for an entirely different idea, learned how to review films, art, music, etc..., and can use big terms to analyze television. I'm walking away with tangible things to show and work on and make better.

The series I developed was a camp series (obviously) and I created a show with interesting characters, plot lines, settings, and themes. It's not perfect, by any means, but its a start! Now I can manipulate it to be what I want and then write the pilot. AND the pilot I wrote in my other class I LOVE. And now I can revise it and develop a whole series around it. You guys, it's like I'm trying to work in television or something.

I quit my job the week of Thanksgiving and I DON'T want to talk about it. I will say that it was a nice little consistent family that I was brought into for the past 7 months. It's an excellent place to work and also EVERY BODY IS FUNNY. My coworker Chris wrote a post about this after his last day. You go and see a show, of course the performers are funny. BUT, the bartenders, box office, servers, food runners, hosts, EVERY ONE who works there and makes it operate is funny. It's an amazing atmosphere to be around and I'm so glad to have been a part of it.

I had my last performance with my improv team Brunch at the show New Team Smell (Tuesdays @ 10). It was amazing and we closed out the show. My entire family and all my roommates were there and I did a little break dance in the middle of the stage. Then the producers of the show (ily Liz and Miguel) called me back onstage to send me off and gave me hugs and every one clapped and shouted "Lindsey Lindsey" and I ran off stage so overwhelmed by the love. It puts a smile on my face just thinking about it now.

You guys, improv is so fun. You should do it.

So now here's the biggie. In the middle of January I will be packing up my Jeep Compass and roadtripping to La-La-Land (cue Demi Lovato). Me, your girl, Lindsey, will be spending her last semester of college studying and learning from professionals in the biz, smack dab in the middle of all the action. And I CANNOT be more excited.

Of course I'm a little nervous too. I mean, I don't plan on coming back home so I better like it there.

I will be taking classes while also having TWO internships. I chose to do two because I had the time and they're both going to give me a different experience. I'll learn valuable skills from each of them and I'm super pumped to get started. If you wanna know about then feel free to contact me because I'd LOVE to talk about how proud I am of myself. You guys, television is SO cool. There are so many things to learn and I cannot wait! Do not worry I have made friends. At first I had known no one on this program. BUT NOW, I have friends! Some great friends actually and we're already planning fun adventures.

OOH but first, I get to Austin to stay with sister Syd for a week. Yeehaw! Hanging out with Sydney in the sweaty South. There is nothing better.

OMG! In the past month I have seen Nick Kroll, Pete Davidson, AND John Mulaney do stand-up. If you know me at all you know that my LIFE HAS BEEN MADE. Thank you mom, my other mom (Lisa :)), and the JUF.

You guys. I'm gonna miss my roomies SO much. What an absolutely amazing semester I've had with them and I am actually so sad that I won't get to see their faces everyday. The newbie already moved in! I'm gonna facetime them like everyday because I am seriously super bummed. BUT, we are all excited for me so there's that.

And that's it folks. Going to this program and then never coming back. Except to graduate of course. I deserve to walk across that stage. I've been in college for 50 years.

That's all I have to say. Now,  I'm sitting at a Starbucks, drinking a hot cocoa waiting to pick up my friend to go to breakfast. I had to get out of the house because the cleaning service is there but its too early for us to go to breakfast so I'm camping out at the Bucks. BTW, the four story Starbucks Reserve downtown is overrated.

Currently:

I'm listening to Fine Line by Harry Styles.
Even if you aren't a One Direction fan, give it a listen. It's a masterpiece. My favorite song is Canyon Moon.

I'm watching a lot of things (big shock).
The Toys That Made Us on Netflix is SO COOL. I'm moving on to The Movies That Made Us soon. Still watching Taxi on Hulu. I don't want to finish it because its so good. Finished the 3rd season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on amazon and it is a HOOT. Mom and I cried watching season 5 of Fuller House.

I feel like I'm watching more but I cannot think right now.

Have a great week and peace out mah dudez!!! Be well!
