update!
SO.
I had the Second City interview today and I think it went okay... I was nervous and didn't feel as confident as I would have liked to. I wish I had prepared better. They asked me who my favorite alums of SC were, and I was like, uh... all of them? Because shit, how do you narrow it down? I mentioned five or six of the more obvious choices, but I'm pissed at myself for not mentioning Dave Foley or Kevin McDonald. One could more easily choose a favorite star among the heavens.
They asked me what my favorite authors were, and they seemed to enjoy those answers. I just really hope I didn't ramble too much or sound like a dick.
I also probably shouldn't have even mentioned it on facebook until I knew if I got the internship or not, because everyone is so excited for me and it's going to be disappointing if I don't get it. Lessons learned.
SO.
I will be in Texas for about ten days starting August 12th. I plan to be at Barfly's that night. Everyone let me know if you want to do fun things!
I'll also probably take one last trip to NY next weekend, to see Lena and Kellie and others.
Aside from that, there's not much to tell. Gave my three weeks notice at the gym. Kind of freaking out about how soon I have to be in Chicago, and how soon I'll be leaving DC... it still hasn't sunk in. I've been thinking about grad school for so long, SO LONG, and now it's actually happening and I don't even know what to do with myself. Now I have to start packing up my clothes and figuring out what else I need to take and planning the drive up to Chicago and trying to figure out what novel I should start writing for my workshop and OH MAN. Trying not to think about being away from Bryan and my cat for five months, which kind of makes me want to cry every time I do.
I really, really hope I get the Second City internship. Even if I don't, though, I'm excited about the two jobs I probably already have. I hope I find out about SC soon enough to back out of one of those jobs gracefully without feeling like an asshole.
AH SO MUCH IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN AND IT FREAKS ME OUT. Even though I'm doing pretty well as far as taking care of everything that needs taking care of, WTF. My life is going to be so different in just a month.
Oh yeah, so if anybody is interested in driving up to Chicago with me, let me know. Obviously you have to find your own way back, though, which is a disincentive.
