Alyssa, me & Ashley at the beach bonfireGREEK
After working on "Pretty Little Liars" twice - I worked on another ABC Family TV show called "Greek". I was a little nervous working on this one mostly due to the fact that I have heard horror stories about the set and people from other background actors. However, my experience on the show was a good one. I was a Zeta Beta Zeta sorority girl which was pretty fun. I got to get all dressed up as well because the scenes we shot were at a party type event at the sorority house for the pledging of the new sisters into the sorority. We shot at CBS Studios. It was my first time at the studio but its really nice there. Over all my experience was a good one on the show. The episode is #4 of the 4th season (the new season). I'm not sure when the season will begin showing on ABC Family. But keep an eye out.
HARVEST
I have developed a close friendship with Ashley (a co-worker from the movie theater) and have started going to her church Harvest with her. I LOVE it there! It's bigger than my church back home but I love it. The people are really great and I am learning a lot. It's actually the home church that puts on the Harvest Crusades (which I went to last year). Greg Laurie is the pastor and he's great. They also have special guests that come in and sing fairly often. Revive just played tonight and they were so great! I feel like I've found my church home here now. I've also been going to the college age group 'The Well' that meets on Friday nights whenever I can (due to work). Saturday night The Well had a get together at the beach. We ate, hung out, had a bonfire, had a little devotional, and sung worship songs. It was so much fun! Anyway, I'm really loving it there! I wish I could get more involved at the church but I never know what my schedule is going to be.
ACTING
I am still taking my acting class every week, but other than that I haven't had much going on in the acting world lately. There are a couple open calls that I am going to make videos for and submit with in the next couple weeks - so I'll keep you updated if anything happens with them. I am also getting together some reference letters from teachers and am writing a letter myself that I am going to send to some people at Disney to try and get an audition. Disney would be my ideal employer and I am really hoping something will come from my submission. We'll see - it's all in God's hands.
BIRTHDAYS
My birthday was good. Pretty low-key but fun all the same. I relaxed and enjoyed it. My parents sent me a computer camera and so we had a video chat. It was my first time doing it and it was a little weird, but cool too. So I know have a Skype account so that I can have these fun video chats with my friends and family - so excited! After that I hung out with my friend Ashley. We went to church and then hung out and watched Disney Channel together after wards. So it was fun. Then Ashley's bday was the 23rd -- so we went to breakfast with a couple other girls, saw "Ramona & Beezus" (which is really cute and I highly recommend it), went to The Well and then hung out afterward and got frozen yogurt. So now I have a birthday buddy :)
SUMMERTIME
I really haven't been doing much so far this summer. But I do have some fun things coming up. On Tuesday Ashley and I are going to spend the day in LA and then watch a live taping of a brand new Disney Channel TV show "Shake It Up" (it hasn't come out yet - they just started filming it). So I am very excited about that! The Harvest Crusade is coming up in the beginning of August. I'm hoping to be able to go at least one day - we'll see when it gets closer if work will allow, etc. And then on September 19th Ashley and I are going to see the Jonas Brothers in concert!! I am also hoping to catch some baseball games before the season ends. So I do have some plans coming up. I would also like to just hang out at the beach some. The bonfire was the first time I have been all summer so far - crazy! So I'd like to go more. I'm just enjoying the summer and relaxing.
OTHER
With acting, work and church I have been staying pretty busy. I've been writing a lot lately. I'm working on a couple different TV show and movie ideas right now. I'm really excited about them and hope that one day they will be made into a reality. I'm getting antsy about getting acting going. I'm just ready to get something. But then I think about how God is in control and how His timing is best. So I'm just trying to be patient (which is hard) and wait on Him. I'm just ready to do what I love and make a difference in lives. I'm looking forward to seeing what God has in store for me, my acting and just my future in general!
