Life since the New Year has been going relatively well. Centre Term was relaxing. I took Mathew's musical theatre course and tried to keep myself from committing to too much else. On a down note, my Grandmother landed in the hospital, and she was making progress, but just relapsed. It's still all up in the air.
Other than that, things are looking up. I've got the musical coming up at the beginning of April (playing Orin - the Dentist - in Little Shop), and I just finished casting Romeo and Juliet today. I'm pretty pumped about both shows. UK seems to have turned their early season woes around somewhat, and I was able to scream my lungs out at the UT game in January, a pretty special experience (especially seeing as the tickets I lucked into were one row down and five seats over from the season tickets my Dad owns - ridiculous chance). But Rupp was Rockin'! It was awesome. What else is good?
Over the break I got down to see my old high school's musical (ironically, "High School Musical") and it was pretty high school, but always fun. It's good to go back and see alum and where the theatre department is headed. Trish is looking at retiring at the end of the year, and they'll miss her a lot, but times change, and I think Dunbar Drama will continue to be a great experience for those involved, just a different one without the drama mama.
This past weekend I made it down to the Unified Professional Theatre Auditions in Memphis. 6 1/2 hour drive each way, which meant a lot of time alone in the car, but I was able to catch the UK-Bama game on the way back, and also catch up on listening to some music. The Christmas I-Pod was certainly a welcome travel companion, although I don't think I'll ever get tired of classic rock radio stations. But enough about the drive. The auditions went well. I received callbacks, (and a dance callback on which I'm just thankful not to have totally embarrassed myself) and a few of them went excellently; now it's just a waiting game - with a little help through friendly email contact, perhaps :) I was also able to see Jen from Berkshire and met her friend Chrissy, so the friendly faces were welcome, and made the whole trip a lot more enjoyable.
Now it's back to the grind. I'm 22, and a graduating senior. Damn. How did that happen? Classes are going well, and seminar is interesting, but I'm at that point where all the other classes are secondary to what I want to be doing. I'm looking forward, and it's pretty scary, and sometimes I freak out in my head, but there's some part of me that says GO. Make it happen. And I think that's what college has been good for. |
