ZOMG I forgot to wish Tori a happy birthday yesterday!
I can't seem to get into a normal sleep schedule. The fact my call for shows is 6:30pm probably isn't helping. I get home around 11:30 and am not ready to go right to bed, so I'm up late and then I sleep until 11 or so since I don't have to be anywhere until 6:30. Rinse and repeat. Don't get too jealous, though. Next Wednesday begins my up at 6:20 school schedule.
I'm vaguely excited to be starting classes again. What's overriding that excitement is the fact that I have general auditions in a week and, while my monologue has been memorized for well over a week now, I've not done any kind of analysis and have only done it on my feet a few times so far. Worse yet, I don't have the music for my song and even if I get it, I'm not sure I'll be able to rehearse it with the music before I do it for real. Yikes. I'm not going to stress, though. I've got a week to get everything down and I'll be fine. I really wish I wasn't someone who needed pressure in order to get things done.
I started my diet yesterday so that my body will be ready for it once school starts. I managed to pack on a few pounds this summer and I'm none too thrilled about it. I had to give myself a break from WiiFit because my thighs were so sore, but they're feeling better and I'm easing back into it. I did the Island Run yesterday and was surprised to get 12 minutes added to my bank for it. My calf muscles are feeling that today, though. I'm unlocking all sorts of things, including the free run, which I may try soon. I think I need to focus a bit on my upper body, though. The push up challenge was really tiring and the push up and side plank is still a killer, although I've moved onto more reps for it. I think I'll continue giving my thighs a break until next week, though. Every now and then I still feel a twinge in them when I squat and get back up, so a lot of the yoga poses are a moot point right now.
I'm excited to get back to the gym next week, too. Watching the Olympics has done nothing but fuel the fire. I'm still YouTubing the men's competition from 1996. I watched the team final and got most of the way through the all-around, but the video series I was watching cut off before the end. There's another video series from another country's coverage that looks really promising and appears to show a completely different set of athletes than ours did. I'm still amazed at how much more thorough and less Team USA-centric NBC's coverage used to be. There was fluff on non-USA athletes and coaches and it didn't matter that nobody from Team USA was really in medal contention; the coverage focused on the athletes that were. Beijing wasn't terrible as far as coverage, but boy did they know how to do it back in the day.
Sigh, okay, I'm setting my alarm to get up a little earlier than usual tomorrow so I can try and ease back into the schedule, so I should try and get some sleep.
