making movies

so, i may have said this before, but my students are making a movie because they want to teach other people how to recycle. we are coming in to the last few days of school (8 left, to be exact) and we're almost done filming. obviously, this was not the original time schedule, but with kids not showing up to school and the crct and kids being pulled out of class and field trips and such, here we are. we're hoping to premiere it next week, but i'm not sure how this is going to go. lol....the best laid plans.
they're having great fun with it, though, and i'm glad we've been able to do it. i think they've learned a lot about expression when reading/ acting and how to present yourself. we've had a lot of struggles getting it done, but we'll all be very excited to see it :)

this process, however, has given me a bigger appreciation for all the people who work in the movie/ tv business....scheduling, writing, filming, technical stuff, actors and actresses (yes, we've had many "i'm the actor"/ diva moments in our movie making adventure). so, to all who work in the movie business, thank you for all you do....

8 days.....:)

confidence in uncertainty

don't we all wish we had that? when we have no idea what is coming or where God is leading or what we are supposed to do, wouldn't it be nice if we felt confidence and peace during the uncertain times in our lives? over the last couple of months, i've really been wrestling with some uncertainties. about everything. who i am. what i'm meant to do. where i'm supposed to be. who God is, and says He is. who God says i am. the path God says for me to follow. asking and struggling. wondering and fighting. crying and laughing. understanding and then being lost in confusion. experiencing peace and then being overwhelmed by worry. but finally, there is a bit of an end. because i've made a decision. one that my soul made a long time before my head, i believe. a decision to follow. to trust. to be uncertain. to leave baltimore . looking at it through my eyes, i can't say that it really makes sense. i have a family here. abounding opportunities t

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,
