Before my trazadone kicks in so I can go to sleep...
I feel so ready for tomorrow. I'll attempt not to jinx it, but I really do. I did my pieces for my parents tonight like it was just another run in my room. That rocks. That would have been impossible a few weeks ago, but tonight it was easy. I love that. That's how I know tomorrow can be fun. It's possible to have an audience whose opinions are incredibly important to me (parents vs. admissions committee) and still have it feel like a typical run, not attaching any more weight to it. I really have come a long way.
Also, the Red Shoes audition tonight at Chicago Street Theater went really well. Really, really well. And I had fun and got to get the audition vibe flowing before tomorrow. Even if it was no more than a warm-up and nothing comes of it, I'm glad I did it because it really did make me feel that much more prepared for DePaul.
Finally, I got to read the rec letter that Casey (plus editing wizard Amy) wrote for me. I'm so glad I asked him to do it. It was the perspective I hoped he'd take and even more. I feel more armed for tomorrow having read it and knowing that I am an asset to that program, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. I have a slew of people that I love and respect who think so, too. If that doesn't instill some confidence, nothing will.
All right, to sleep. BIG DAY TOMORROW!
