Hmm what to write about....my life has been pretty hum drum lately. Spelling Bee is over. No more theatre classes. I'm just finishing up some main campus classes in order to graduate. I know...I'm bored too. haha.
Ummm...lets see. I went to Savannah to audition for GTC. This was my third year going and I was feeling pretty confident about the audition. When I got up there though I messed up and sang off key. It really shocked me. I don't sing off key very often...barely ever so it sucked that one of the only times that has happened was for an important audition. I was hoping maybe my monologue would be enough to get me through but it wasn't. I was not passed on. I tried not to let it affect me too much. I mean yeah it sucks but GTC is not the end all be all. My career will go on. Still, its hard not to beat myself up a little bit. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my work and it has been a really long time since I've blown an audition like that. I'm just trying not to get too hung up on it.
Good news though! I got nominated for ACTF for my performance in Spelling Bee. That is very exciting to me. It is such an honor and I'm very proud of myself, as well as EJ for getting nominated too. Its always nice to have your hard work recognized by other people. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to go or not because it is next semester and I will no longer be at CSU, but if I have no jobs lined up then I don't see why I shouldn't. I'm just going to treat it like I am going until I find out about future work, which means finding scenes and a partner. Yay for something to do! lol.
Other news, I am currently in a new relationship. This is not where I thought I would be at all when I started this semester, but I can't deny that I'm pleased by it. Still, I've been struggling with getting used to it. After Eddie I spent a year learning to be independant. I had to rediscover myself and now that I'm starting a new relationship I'm scared of losing everything I've worked on. I'm sure it won't happen because I'm conscious of it, but after spending so much time working on being alone it is weird to let another person in. Not to mention I have serious trust issues so I'm kind of scared of getting hurt. My philosophy though is to take it one day at a time. I've been very happy with everything so far so I'm excited to see where it goes. :)
anyways...now you are all caught up on my life. The end.

The Other Side of This Life
So,
it's been awhile. Time to catch everybody up on my life. Haha...not that anybody who reads this doesn't already know what's going on in it.
1) Spelling Bee is over. First of all I want to say that I am so incredibly grateful to Dureyea, Kate, and Michael for casting me as Olive. I have worked very hard at CSU and given this school so much of my time and energy, but I never seemed to feel like I got much back from them. Now I'm not complaining because I have been cast a multitude of times and I'm very grateful for that, but after four years of getting the same kind of parts over and over again I was longing to see some progress. I wanted to know that my work was being acknowledged and that I was improving and not just at a stand still. Before this show started, I had even begun to doubt myself and whether I was doing the right thing with my life. This part really gave me that opportunity and also helped me prove to some people (including myself) that I am talented and in the right profession. Honestly, I think it was the perfect show to end my college career with. Thanks to everybody who was a part of it, and also everybody who supported me by coming to see it and listening to me talk about it during the rehearsal process. I really appreciate it.
2) Classes are hum drum boring. I am doing what I need to do to get by but honestly not much is required of me. It's just a matter of showing up and taking an online quiz every now and then. Honestly, I'm feeling really bored. I have so much free time on my hands and not much to do with it. I mean I'm going to start auditioning for things if I can but so far I haven't really found anything that I am available for just yet. I am also feeling kind of lonely. I am very seperated from a lot of my friends because I don't live downtown anymore. I have a lot more time now, but my friends don't because they are all busy with the Crucible now. I'm sure I will find some way to occupy my time though. I hope so at least or I might go insane from boredom.
