All I Have To Say Is: I Am Happy To Be Sitting Here, Doing What Is Meaningful To Me.

Just finished doing some research for the theatre's soon-to-be-updated website. And now I'm wasting time online before I have to teach some six and seven-year-olds about theatre. Today's lesson will be on music and rhythm. I'm now a month and a week into my new job and it's not really 'new' anymore. It feels comfortable and like I know what I'm doing, for the most part. I have five plays out of nine under my belt (which is crazy). I also just finished my last solid theatre project outside of work. So! I'm auditioning like mad to get another one lined up. Also, graduate school research (which I should be doing now but somehow have avoided) as well as getting apprenticeship ideas ready as well. The game plan this year is to apply to schools that only accept every other year or every three years in order to cut down on auditions/application costs.

We'll see. my acting coach told me that she did all this intense stuff to get herself ready for her third year of auditions (this is only my second) like working with the Moscow Arts Theatre School and taking Russian acting classes and... all sorts of things I'm not sure I can do. Definitely not this year but even next year, I'm still unsure. I guess I just have to trust that it will all fall into place. So far God's taken care of me, so I'm thinking that won't change now.

Had a little bit of a heart stomping on Friday, but it was quickly fixed with plans to visit friends. Now I just gotta get paid so I can make the plans officially official. If I do go with said friends, I'll not be able to stage manage a weekend church tour of Over The Tavern. I kinda feel like I need a break for a half a minute, though. So I'm taking it if I can.

After teaching is a meeting for the youth group adult leaders, so that'll be an hour and a half and hopefully I'll have the energy to clean my room when I get home. It's a disaster area and I am trying to get it fixed. I just have to muster up the concentration and motivation to do it, but when I get home from these things I'm usually ready to veg out or sleep. Sound like laziness? It is! Maybe I'll come back tomorrow and post whether or not I cleaned. That will serve as motivation to get it done, lest public embarrassment ensues.

P.S. Today's my brother's birthday!






that's okay, heart. we'll get'em next time.
