This school really needs to do more shows per year. How am I supposed to get into Juilliard with only 28 productions on my resumé, many of them community theater? I should have taken a workshop or two over the summer. It would be completely unnecessary for me, of course, but directors love to see that kind of thing.

Every one of the selections this season has 1-2 male leads, but a few of the musicals are so banal I don't know if I can bring myself to seriously audition. I guess I'll have to, if I want McKinley's drama department to be any good. Oliver can play a lead with no problem, but even a decent performer can be limited by his mediocre surroundings. The chorus here is excellent at what they do: being my chorus. But it's something else entirely to be a lead.

Dear old Mom and Dad are already hounding me about college applications. I told them I'm only applying to the schools I'm really interested in going to: Juilliard or UCLA. Dad has this ludicrous idea that I'll be going to the Northwestern just like he did. He'll see I've set my sights much higher.
