So I should be doing my Italian homework, but...
I'm writing this instead.
Hello everybody who reads this, which probably is a slim number, but still. I need to get stuff off my chest in a way that is more public than I usually can...
So I'm stressed. This weekend is the opening weekend to Boys from Syracuse, which is stressful because I'm getting to a point where I know I'm good, I just don't know if I'm good enough for a lead in a mainstage musical... I'm getting the character slowly, it's been improving every day, and I've been learning new and exciting things every rehearsal, but still. 4 weeks to put up a musical is soooo stressful. So that's stressing me out.
Secondly, schoolwork has been lacking due to the fact of tech week and whatnot. The Italian homework that I mentioned in the title was due last week Friday. Oops.
Thirdly, which should be more exciting than stressful, I might be getting an understudy role in Victory Garden's (a proffessional theatre similar to Milwaukee Chamber) "Snow Queen." This is all great. I have my audition tomorrow at 10 AM. It's such a great opportunity, I might get my equity card, working with Frank Gallati, etc. etc. But it means that I won't be coming home for Christmas break, or much of Thanksgiving break either. I might be able to make it on Thanksgiving day and will definately be home Christmas eve and day, and only if it doesn't get extended (which would surprise me if it didn't, cuz it did last year) would I be home after that.
It also means I need to find a place to live here in Evanston for the time being. Which is a frightening prospect. I'll probably just live with Andrew, who I'll be understudying. But still.
Because I'm so stressed, all I want is a hot cup of chai, listening to Christmas songs, while decorating the Christmas tree at home... That sounds so nice. I want to chill with friends and go to see It's a Wonderful Life at the Times with Kyle, and make candy, and sleep in my own bed. I want to go to the various Thanksgiving reunions...
I know I should be excited, but I'm so upset at the prospect of not being able to come home...
I know I should take the job if offered, because it's really the best for me in the long run, but... I don't know...
I don't know.
