Glimpse into the Mind of a Blogger #3 "Free Time"

When I saw this question roll in I had to laugh, "How do you send your free time?" Between school work, graduation work, college work, life work, and extra curricular stuff my time becomes anything, but free. However, I have had sometime the last couple of weekends to lay back and breath. So hopefully, this post will help you get an idea of what I like to do.

 Probably my favorite thing to do is READ. I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. I used to go to the library and choose a book based off of how big it was. I also tried to read "Gone With the Wind." For my 8th grade spring break book report. It was a failed attempt, however I did a report on a book about Paul Revere's daughter and loved it. As far a book genres go I am a sucker for the classics and have a list that I want to acquire for my constantly growing library. Some favorites authors are Lousia May Alcott, Emily or Charlotte Bronte, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and so many others that I am forgetting their names. I like current stuff as well. The Percy Jackson series I couldn't put down, thanks to my dear friend who got me to read them. Peter and the Star Catchers another series was one I deeply enjoyed. I also enjoy any books from any of the Life of Faith series, I would love to own more of them, but they are getting harder to find as they are going out of print. I could talk for hours about books. So suffice it to say reading is an enjoyable pass time.

I enjoy listening to music. I often have something playing while I am cleaning, getting ready, reading or studying. My interests are diverse, I like rock ex, Def Leopard, Bon Jovi, Van Halon, Journey, Toto, Asia. Pop ex, Huey Lewis and the News, Sting, One Direction, Anthem Lights, (there is a lot)
Country ex: Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Alison Krauss, Hank Williams, Alabama,
Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, The Judds, Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Brooks and Dunn. 
I write a lot, hence this blog, I mess around writing stories, I have kept a journal for several years. Writing is a way for me to express emotions I can't put into words or convey in person. Staring at a blank sheet of paper inspires me to write or come up with thoughts. 

 I like adventuring, exploring new places or just hanging out with my family. I am blessed with a family where no matter what we do, we seem to have fun doing it. We like going to lakes or hiking. We explore thrift stores, going to concerts or doing things at home since we are gone so much of the week.
 I hope you enjoyed seeing what I like to do for fun. I would love to learn what YOU all do for fun. Leave your answers in the comments and if there is something you want to learn about me comment your questions.

The One With All The Updates

Erika and Madame Blueberry   The last few months have been crazy busy, full of adventures and the like. It would take forever to tell you everything that has happened, but I will attempt an overview. Since April I was a stage manager to an amazing show called The Lonesome West . I learned so much from the actors I worked with and the experience to produce theatre in the back of a records shop.  Soon after the show closed I took my finals, loaded up my Cadillac (named Madame Blueberry) and left Ellensburg for the summer. I only had a few days to unload my college boxes and reload Madame Blueberry for my summer job. Camp Lutherhaven  Camp Lutherhaven! What an incredible, God arranged summer. There were days I wondered if I was up for the job, but the people I met and the experiences we shared were irreplaceable. When I was at college I made a comment to my mom that all I had to focus and worry about was me and how easy it was to only be concerned about myself...

What Has Kept Erika From Blogging???

After the first night of shows I was so close to getting February's post in February. I sat down to write this so many times, but with a million papers to write for school the idea of writing more at the end of the day seems absolutely impossible. Which is depressing because I love writing. However, the homework has slowed down, relatively, I mean finals are around the corner. Anyway, I did want to update you on a few awesome things that have been happening in my life. Artsy photo that I took in the dressing room before the show.  First Distracted, the first CWU show I was apart of, went up in January. It went really well I had such an amazing, supportive cast, director, and crew. My amazing, wonderful, family and some family friends came to see me. It was an incredible experience and the topic of the show was one that reached a ton of people. I learned to play a character that was completely opposite of who I am and different from anyone I know which was learning exp...

A Quick Update and Some New Years Encouragement

Kamola looks great in the snow Guys! I haven't done a blog post in so long. Partly due to the craziness of college life, as fall quarter was insanely busy and partly due to my laptop acting out last quarter. Anyway, now I am back and on a working computer. Happy New Year everyone! Hope the holidays were spent with loved ones and were a restful time for all. I really enjoyed being home for a few weeks. My family and I had a lovely Christmas spending time together and focusing on what really matters. For me it was a time to reflect on how blessed I am and what God is doing in my life. Fall quarter was extremely busy. I took sixteen credits and was apart of a production of The Nutcracker.   Through that experience I learned not only technical dance skills, but also that bullies can still exist, even in adults. Working with difficult people is sometimes just apart of life. Overall the good that accompanied that show out weighed the bad and I am thankful for the experience. ...
