Update time!
So... this has been the best semester EVER.
I love my Music Theatre Repertoire. I am always so excited to work in that class! My voice has opened up in ways that I never thought it would, and I've been working so hard so I'm really proud! I had tea with a professor after my performance yesterday, and she just raved! She said she was waiting for the time when I would be able to stand in front of people and be proud of who I am and the work I had done, and perform with no apologies. She said I had finally done it. *beams* I feel like I've sort of... grown into myself. I can't wait to just... get out there and get started! Although I still need headshots, boo. It's so funny looking back at the headshots I had before I came to NYU. I look pretty, but it's funny - I don't see me there anymore in that sweet-looking blonde-haired girl. I take that back - I see me there, but I definitely know there's a lot more to me now. That... and I've sort of figured out my type, haha. I also have sort of embraced my type. I love the roles that are good for me! Haha, weird how that works out...
Anyway, just had my birthday. The night of my birthday, I just had a low key dinner - with drinks, of course - with David, Sarah, and Rob. How much do I love that Rob lives in New York? A lot, that's how. Then Friday night, a bunch of my friends and I went to Brooklyn - a borough, can you believe it? - to see the tour of Matthew Bourne's EDWARD SCISSORHANDS. It was amazing! After the show, we headed home, and then masses of humanity made their way into my teensy little apartment. I can't believe the place didn't burst... or more importantly, that we didn't run out of alcohol. But we didn't, and it was amazing.
Saturday night, I went to a party at - get this - Josh Emert's place. Sarah's marine was in town, and we didn't really have anywhere else to go, and he invited me so... what the hell? It was actually a lot of fun... with the exception that the other marine that was supposed to come backed out, and I was left third wheeling it with James and Sarah... awkward... Oh well. I made friends eventually... haha... I love being young and stupid.
Saw FACE THE MUSIC at City Center last night. Oh, Irving Berlin. Oh, pre-Oklahoma musicals. Bad as they are, they're soooo good. "Was that a song cue?" "No, I was just telling you." "Oh, alright." Love.
I cut all my hair off. It was horrifying. I didn't exactly do it by choice, but oddly enough - I LOVE IT. I feel so sexy! My hair sort of falls into my eyes, or if I curl it, I feel like Marilyn Monroe, haha.
I've been on the most ridiculous dates this semester. Maybe not the MOST ridiculous I've ever been on... the leather pants guy was pretty extreme. But still, pretty lame. There have been some fun dates too, but mostly... ridiculous. I always take my first dates to this same restaurant where I know the waitor, and then the next day, I go back and we dish. We've been in hysterics a few times over the horror of it all. I don't want to go into details here unless this journal falls into the wrong hands...
This is very fragmented. I'm going to St. John this summer! I am so excited to get out of this god-forsaken city for five minutes. Or... a month. Haha.
Anyway, that's all I've got right now. Gotta finish getting ready for this dumb ConWest quiz. You know, I love all my performance classes. I just wish they weren't tainted with (blech) academics.
So... peace!
