best week of all time

consider yourselves lucky, everyone. because you get to witness a blog about how this last week and weekend were one of the best i've ever had! yes, EVER! there are many reasons for this. 1. i was acting- and i'm confident with my performance, 2. i got to act and spend time with my sister for a day, 3. i got to dress up as marilyn monroe for a halloween social and got to hang out with my two best friends (janelle and matthew), 4. i got to hang out with my winnipeg friends and have a halloween party with them (and dress up as marilyn monroe again!), 5. the cast and crew on set were absolutely amazing! these are just a few reasons why this was the best week/weekend ever. i've never felt so sure about my acting career.
i've also never had such an exhausting week either. it's strange because now that filming is over (*shed a tear*), i've been able to get so much sleep (9-10 hours last night and the night before!)- and i feel more exhausted than i did when i would get 3-5 hours of sleep per night. weird. so, here's how filming ended up going (hours-wise): tuesday from 6pm-midnight, wednesday from 6pm-11:30pm, thursday from 2pm-7pm, saturday from 8:30am-6:30pm, and sunday from 8:30-7pm. crazy long nights and days. crazy short sleeps too! but, there is nothing i would've rather done.
it was incredible people. i can't stop talking about it or thinking about it. and you'd think that i would be really physically tired (or sick) by now, but i'm definitely more emotionally exhausted. believe me, you put EVERYTHING you have into each take. it's incredibly draining. and incredibly exhilarating at the same time. there's no experience like it. not for me, at least.
when i'm in australia, i'm going to miss this like crazy. i think i might just go insane. but, i know that i'm going to be there focussing on God. and when i can do that, i know that i'll be able to come home and really be a christian actress. not acting in christian movies- i keep telling people. but being a christian, and after that comes being an actress. i want to make wise decisions about roles i play, relationships that develop, things i say, and that sort of thing. just being a christian on set. that is the most important thing to me. and one of the most difficult things too.
well, that was my week! i didn't do a good job at explaining why it was so great, but believe me, it was one of the best weeks i've ever experienced. lovin' it!
