Etc
I guess today I just feel like updating with general things I've been doing recently, and things coming up....Dan and I have seen a few shows recently---a couple weeks ago I got comp tickets to a show we handle called 'The Drunken City.' The next night I was able to get us two student rush tickets to see 'Spring Awakening,' which was fantastic! (Despite waiting in line that morning, in the cold, for nearly 2 hours, only to realize I didn't have my student id...!!! Luckily the box office lady was very understanding--she sure didn't have to be--we are pretty strict here about that.) Then, last night Dan got us tickets to see 'Avenue Q'----which I thought was hil-arious! He went to try and get lottery rush tickets, and didn't have luck. So when we met up I was under the impression that we weren't going...However, at dinner he gave me a few little gifts he'd bought for me (a potato scrubber brush named Spudly-aw)--and at the end he surprised me with tickets to the show--they'd had some $30 tickets available for those who didn't win the $20 ticket lottery tickets. How sweet! He's good at surprises...I have trouble keeping anything a secret--I should work on that.
Also, next week Mom & Dad come to visit! I am so very excited. I haven't seen them since Christmas...too long. I have a group interview scheduled while they are here for Hunter College....I am just going in with an open-mind, making no assumptions--but I must say I was super glad to hear from the school last week--it'd been over a month since I'd turned in my application. When they called it was actually to check up since I'd apparently missed the group interview I'd been scheduled for, but never contacted about....Nice. I made that very clear and the young man apologized and promptly rescheduled me. So we shall see...I am so glad Mom & Dad will be here--I'm gonna take that whole day off to hang out with them before and after the interview--they'll probably explore the UES while I'm there.
If I don't get into school I have my mind set to go right to Plan B and find a job job. Like one job, somewhat in my field of interest, that has benefits. Those are my criteria. I'm sure it'll be harder than it seems, but that's my plan if the alternative doesn't work out. For the time being I've been a bit more fulfilled (and definitely challenged) by some teaching artist jobs. I've been doing a creative drama class in Harlem once a week, and have a couple more residencies starting up soon--so having those, in addition to the ticket job, is helping me a feel slightly more productive.
Oh, Dan and I have our big vacation coming up--I can hardly believe it! Punta Cana for a week---it seems almost unreal. Of course, when I look at my savings account balance I certainly believe it's real, but the money will be well worth it, I'm sure...Why else have I been saving money(albeit, not in the last few years really) if not to use it on something I really want..?
So that's it for now. Is spring almost here??
