"...cause a dream's no crime."
Mike's birthday was this past weekend. We watched TMNT3 and saw Shrek the Third last night. We had dinner with his dad at Pizza Hut and his presents are on their way. We had such a great time together...I loved every moment of it.
Today my mom and I had tickets to go see "The Rat Pack: Live at the Sands" at Playhouse Square Center (PSC). We moved our tickets up to the matine performance...and I am so glad that we did. While I was waiting for my mom to finish buying her candy, guess who I ran into? TONY HANF!! Best surprise in the entire world. I felt like an idiot when I asked him what he was doing there because I knew he had been working at PSC for about an year or so. Oh, it was wonderful to see him again. I've missed him so much. We haven't really spoken much since the glory days of SAA, but I still consider him to be a very good friend and an extraordinarily talented actor. (Speaking of which...he might go on tour with David Copperfield! How cool!)
After the show, my mom and I ran a few errands. Today was my first day being at Heinen's since hearing of Kris' suicide. I didn't realize it until about halfway through the story when one of the other packers said hello to me. Looking around, it just hit me...I remember when my mom and I would come to the store and I would anxiously look up and down the aisles, hoping to see him. The store just felt so...empty.
*sighs*
My mom and I had a huge talk today about me and Heidelberg. I have been so fucking aggravated with my Education department. Frankly, I just fucking hate it. There's no easy way around it. In the years since I decided to become an Education major, I have truly and honestly lost the passion for education. I don't have the heart for it anymore. This past semester with Erin and my exit interview helped me realize that.
My mom talked about my 8 million options...drop the EDU major; pick up a musical theatre major; transfer; look at grad schools.
She asked me again what I would say if Disney offered me a job after the internship program...would I move to Orlando? With my desire to be involved with theatre, would I be willing to relocate?
*sighs* I don't know...I honestly don't. On the logical hand, I haven't even gotten the internship yet...let alone a full position. The chance to work permanently with the Walt Disney Company is a dream for me, but I don't know whether I have the courage to pick up and move there. I would probably sooner move to Orlando to work with Disney than move to NYC to work with whatever up there.
Ugh...I just don't know. I'm miserable with my Education major and I wish I could just drop it. I know for a fact that I DO want to do theatre for the rest of my life. I love it...theatre and live entertainment is something that I have always enjoyed...whether it be performance or teaching others or running something or everything.
The problem is to get anywhere in the theatre business, you have to be insanely talented. I've seen people my age perform...I've seen people younger than me perform...I only have an inkling of what sort of talent you need to make it somewhere...and I know that I don't have it. I'm not a fabulous actress. I can't sing well. I don't dance much.
Who would want to hire me?
