Mississippi???

I was born in Oregon. I spent eight years in lithuania and seven years in the Black Forest. So what the heck am I doing in Mississippi? Well...

I am doing many things in Mississippi.

I am making wedding rings for Nora and Torvald Helmer.

I am dressing in a cloak and dancing violently around pictures of Ibsen, Strindberg, and Chekhov with forks.

I am creating tableaus with ten other people while each of us wears an unfortunate black spandex suit.

I am spending hours at McCallister's with my Texan friend.

I am walking to Laurel Park with my friend from Washington.

I am living the life God has called me to...or at least trying not to bungle anything up!

That there is my dorm. Gillespie. God blessed me with a lovely big room and wonderful roommate who does not mind the ever growing pile of clothes on the floor next to my bed! And to top it all off, my dorm is situated on a beautiful little lake with fountains, and a charming pathway around it. I found this lonely clump of brilliance on one such walk.

What am I doing here? Why am I here? The simple answers are: theater, God, I have been called. The not so simple answer would involve trying to explain why I did not feel the need to apply to any other school...or why I would choose a small christian school in a state I had never been to, in a place where I knew not a single person.

But then again...why should the answers be complicated? God did call me. And all I truly know right now, is that I am meant to be doing theater, and I am loving it so much!
