I'm just realizing that I have auditions on SATURDAY afternoon, for which I haven't really had time to prepare. And now all that stands between me and those auditions is babysitting and one long-ass final dress, and hopefully some sleep. I need enough sleep Friday night to sing at 1 pm on Saturday...but I'll be getting home probably later than I did tonight, which was 3:05 am. And and get this, I may have to substitute tomorrow for the school district, but I won't know until I either DO or DON'T get woken up at 7:30 am by my mother. That's four hours away, and I'm still in my make-up right now. Good times. I think I may just put a note on the door saying that, although I stupidly said I could substitute today if they absolutely needed me (which they usually DO), I just need to sleep, otherwise...ya. My Mom pointed out that I have to drive someone else's children around and need to be plenty awake for that, so she SHOULD support me there. So ya, I think I *WILL* put a note up. It's just that...grrr why did I say I would? I know, it's because they pay $13.59/hour.
Anyway I am an insane person for leading the life I lead. It really is fun though. Work however, is just NOT. And not sleeping is not either. And missing ballet is not either.
I really hope BIG RIVER works out for me...well for obvious reasons of wanting to sing those songs and have my moment in the sun...but also I am craving the simple, laid-back, 3 hour rehearsals, 4-5 times a week, taking one or two songs at a time and really working them good. And it would work out so well with my plans for the fall. My pilates class ends at 6:40 and I can dash over to the rehearsal hall for 7 pm rehearsals. Well, I'll have to leave one early and arive a little late, but that would work much better than having to drive to Salinas every night and cancel my pilates class. It's possible I could just not do a show and have a really intense semester of training, which I need and would rock in its own way...but ya, anything more strenuous than one single show, close by, done over several months, will be too much and I'll start sleeping through classes and such, which I really can't do during the actual school year. So I hope BIG RIVER goes well. I'm a lot more comfortable with auditions now, thanks to Wingspread actually, but I still just wanna get the initial part over and hopefully get to callbacks and sing Huck's music. I'm excited!
Then the BIG RIVER dates work out very well to audition for INTO THE WOODS again which will probably rehearse the weeknights between the MONTH of Big River shows (early Nov. - early Dec.), and then perform in January, when I don't have school! And then I actually have plans for summer 2005 too. I'm keeping those to myself for now though. And then hopefully after that, I can dance on a cruise ship for the rest of the year! :D
