Well, I’m rested and working on a longer post…since I won’t have a computer until Tuesday, I’ll talk to you then.
I’ve been awake for about FIFTY-TWO hours right now. Yep. I’ve been awake since noon on Wednesday, putting together my final project for scene design.

I couldn’t think of anything exceptionally profound to write about today, so I thought I’d just say hello :) I grew up in Bend, but I’m currently a theater student at Portland State University. Ken has been an essential friend and mentor to me ever since he moved to Bend, so I’m looking forward to
