A Check In of Sorts. . . .
Hello All-
I know it'e been forever since I've posted anything on here. It also looks like I am not the only one. I hope this all finds you doing really well and I miss chatting with you all. I just thought I'd pop in while I had the time to do an update.
I guess the last time I posted a real update was around audition time. . .SO I'll start there.
Well as I said I got an ensemble part so small that they could have not cast me at all or at least have wheeled out a cardboard cut out so I could have stayed at home. Anhoo. Thanksgiving was nice. I made Matt and I a nice little dinner. Then came finals, then Christmas break. I went to spend Christmas with my family. . . alone. Matt wouldn't come. . oh well. At the end of Christmas Break rehearsals for Drood started. They were the most grueling thing I have ever had to go through. We were already rehearsing in Corsets the second week of rehearsal and still were in them untill closing day (Feb 27th). I will never wear one again, and my back thanks me for that. It pretty much ruined it. Anyways- School started Jan 10th and I started my load of 21 classes. Now all you folks out there that are in college or are gonna be going soon. Never. . under any circumstances. . . takew 21 hours of classes. Don't take anything over 16. If you have to stay another semester then do it. If it means you have to take summer classes do it. I've been doing it for close to 2 months now and I still am not used to it. I think that's because I wasn't supposed to be used to it. February rolls around and it's the same ole same ole. Matt and I spent the 12th together and called it Valentines Day. I had rehearsal on the 14th of course. We watched movies and I cooked us a nice supper. The show opened on February the 17th (thank you Jesus) to great approval by the audiences. They loved it. It's not what they're used to. They're used to Annie and The Sound of Music. If you want to read more about The Mystery of Edwin Drood go for it. I wont be explaining. I just want to say that between that and Ms. Susan McCain I will never go on stage again. I am done with performing. I am looking to get a desk type job in the summer after I am done with school. I have some contacts set up. I REALLY want to be out of here, this town that I live in now. I want to move so badly and I am so afraid that I never will get to. Please all of you pray for me that I will get to leave sometime soon within the next couple years. Anyways, the show ran for two weekends and now its closed. Thank you Jesus. It was so hard. Five hours of rehearsal nightly + 21 hours of classes just doesn't work. So now I am focusing on school and graduating. I will be running lights in April for a show called Hugh Hefner in Hell. It's an original written by 2 of my friends here at school. I have classes in the summer but I dont forsee a problem with any of them really. I hope you all are well and I hope you leave me lots of comments so I will know that you all are alive.
