A REGULAR SCHMEGULAR UPDATE

Jun 13, 2006 02:29

I woke up this afternoon to a phonecall from the job agency woman who wanted to get together for a meeting on wednesday morning. i hope there's coffee involved.

Turned in my final packet of the semester this morning. In fact it's my final packet for a very long time.

I'm taking a leave of absence from Goddard next semester - and quite possibly into the spring and summer.

I am going to apply to the dell'arte international school of physical theatre's 9 month Physical Theatre Program. If all goes well i'll be there from the end of september to the end of july learning how to stand on my head, do acrobatics, mask work, melodrama, puppetry, clown work, etc. And then I'd return to Goddard at the end of August and aim to graduate in February.

if i can't get the dell'arte spot, i will apply to work for Shakespeare and Company. do their internship. I have credentials and skills - anything's possible.

Then there's The Omega Institute. am supposed to work there fulltime this summer. Take some freeworkshops. make 50bucks a week. get centered. eat healthy. exercise. have fun. Sound like an awesome time? That's the idea. but...

My life is one big leaf at the moment.

Last thursday I had a hearing test and learned that i've lost a considerable amount of hearing in my right ear. I suspected I had. My audiologist says I'm basically relying on my left ear for sound now and that in ten years it is very likely that I may just very well be deaf in my right ear with at least half the hearing I have right now in my left. It's news. And marks a big change in my ear-health. it came as a big surprise - even though we have been told for years that it was likely to happen.

Remember all those little, annoying things that people used to say to you when you were younger? They really did matter. Pay attention to those little, annoying things. They're important. Hrm.

My life is one gigantic, brand new leaf at the moment. And it's slowly startin to turn over.

Cross my fingers that i get accepted to dell'arte and acquire the money to make living in California a happening thing. How exciting would that be! Oh, I miss the redwoods so much!! This would be a great, great thing.

That's a long enough update. Back to the poems.

peace, all!
