Why not?
So, it's senior year...WOAH, how did I become a senior? Oh yeah, all those classes...
Anyway, things @ GC are great so far this year! There is overwhelming surge of positivity in the department this year. The new freshmen kick ass and, overall, people just seem calmer and happier. I like it. It reminds me of Barter. We've had auditions for INTO THE WOODS all weekend and everyone has been SO supportive of one another...YES! To be honest, I was nervous about coming back to school after being at Barter...people talk about Barter like it's Heaven on earth and it's perfect. No place is perfect and I don't know anything about Heaven, but what I do know is - it's the happiest I've ever been; emotionally, spiritually, artistically, fuck, even physically...so, naturally, to return to a place that fosters a certain amount of resentment (ya know, shit happens) after being in a place where I feel like I found myself and fell in love with myself....well, I thought it would be much harder. But things have changed at ye olde GC. It feels safer here than it use to. And maybe it was my perception, though I don't think that's entirely it. I know why it's changed, but that's not important anymore.
I'm so proud of myself...I held my own in an MUSICAL audition. Last year, I could barely make it through my audition song without shaking and feeling like I was going to faint. And thanks to Barter and the lovely Hannah Ingram, singing doesn't scare me anymore. If anything, I know it's a challenge, I know I haven't had a lot of training and I know it's what I have to continue to work on. I've got a great voice teacher this year and a lot of great oppurtunities to improve. And, really, that's all I could ever ask for - a chance to learn.
That's all I really wanted to talk about. This is gonna be a great year. I miss Patrice, Justin, and Nikki like ALL THE TIME. It's kinda weird not having them around, but it's nice to be a senior. It's nice to feel like I'm ready to start looking for professional jobs and grad school oppurtunities...I didn't think I'd be ready, but I am. Let's do it!
