The Jenni Journals

Hi there blog. I didn't know if I would want to write today, and part of me still doesn't. But it is always so therapeutic so I am forcing myself to at least write a little bit. Last week I didn't write much because I didn't have much to say. This week I have so much to say I don't know how to say it all. The thought of writing the contents of all of me is so daunting, but the urge to put the me in this moment in ink is a powerful urge. One I can't completely drown out today. I've had a rough week. Now, before you get your panties in a wad too excited; it hasn't been rough in any traumatic sense. I have not been in the hospital or had a close family member die. Everyone is healthy. Everything is sound. But, I've had a rough week. And sometimes you don't want to talk about that. So I know people in my every day life might be confused at this, or ask, "Why didn't you say anything?" But even though I wear my heart on my sleeve, an...

I don't have much to say this week. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME From last speaking to you I have opened a musical and found Disney roommates and those have been the most exciting parts of my life. So HEY I OPENED A MUSICAL! Thoroughly Modern Millie @ the Terrace Plaza Playhouse February 23 -- April 07             7:30 pm  We have only been open for a couple of weeks, but there have already been some adventures let me tell you what. First of all, our beloved Jacci who plays Mrs. Meers has gotten PNEUMONIA, literally pneumonia, and so she has been out all week. We don't have doubles or understudies, so we literally (literally trash with how many times I just said literally) had to find someone who has played the part before and was willing to fill in. Thank you Melissa , holy crap . She filled in and she hasn't played the role in years; girl I don't think I could do that, but she did it so effortlessly! A true professional. An...

HELLO BLOG WORLD! I am so SO excited today, because I've been dreaming about this moment for months and years and months, and it finally happened. I WAS ACCEPTED INTO THE DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM!!!! *fireworks, fireworks, confetti, air horns, fireworks* I have been accepted into the Attractions role for the Fall Advantage 2018 program in Walt Disney World . This means I will be working/operating some sort of ride in one of the parks in WDW, and I will be there from May 14th to January 3rd . I can hardly contain my excitement, and can hardly believe it is actually real. I'm so scared I'm going to get some sort of email tomorrow saying, "Oh just kidding, that was a mistake." Because. How?? How in the WORLD was I chosen to go live and work in Disney World for eight months of my life?? How is that not some sort of joke? The sheer awesomeness of the statement: "I'm going to be working for Disney" seriously hits me hard every time I say it. I am goin...

Anybody else get so emotionally invested in a movie's world that you kinda stop knowing how to function in the real world around you? Just me? Alrighty then. This week I have discovered my favorite actor. Which is a funny thing, because I had already seen him in a movie and loved him. The film One Day is a movie I've always loved. A romantic movie with a really unique idea of looking at two people's lives on one day over the course of twenty years. It's like this fun little movie photo book, where you get to see two characters change from year to year. (And don't even get me started on the hair). This movie was based off of a book, and you better believe it's on the top of my list of books to read in the very near future... Look at me going on about this film and I haven't even mentioned who my favorite actor even is. Some of you who have seen the film might have guessed it, but his name is Jim Sturgess . *heart eyes, heart eyes, heart eyes* A Brit with p...

So in my mind, a beautiful way to write this blog is every other week on Sunday nights. Sunday nights are my favorite because they are quiet, they are spent with family and close friends, and you usually have a piece of chocolate cake or two. * cough ~or three~ cough * Well, my calm Sunday nights have become a tiny bit less calm with the new semester. So I'm not sure how much I can do in the ways of bi-weekly posting on Sundays.. but gosh darn it, if I won't die trying. Because writing freelance is like a little mini-therapy session. And GURL I deserve that; #treatyoself. And I remember a seminary teacher once upon a time telling us we would be blessed if we chose to not do homework on Sundays; so really I am just being blessed by procrastinating... right? I thought I would be less busy in January because December was such a crazy month. But that is definitely not the case. I would say I am busy in different ways, however. December was full of performing, Christmas trad...

Hi there. *insert waving hand emoji* Just your friendly neighborhood Jenni; man, I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just a girl who loves to write. Letters to friends and poetry (for myself) mostly, but a girl who loves to write nonetheless. WOW this sounds so cliche already: "I'm just a girl who loves to write." Gag. At least I started off strong with a Spider-man pun. Yeah, that's right. Go re-read that second line. I'm not sure what I'm hoping to accomplish by starting a blog. I am proud of myself for getting this far, however. Setting up a blog exactly the way I want is proving far more difficult than I previously thought. All I should have to do is sit down and type, right? Wrong. I need to pick a domain, pick a blog name, pick a theme, etc, etc. All those tiny little details that do, in fact, matter. P.S. I hope ya'll* like the blog's name because it took me way too long to pick out.  *Not accurate depiction of how I speak It is t...
