Hate To Break It To Ya, But The Ocean Is Not Going To Take Your Gold Card.

I was really fed-up by the day after my birthday and started one of those "10 Things About 10 People" posts. You know, you write about people and don't say what their name is so that they can have fun going crazy trying to figure out which comments are about them. I ended up only getting to person five before I quit. But each person had one to three paragraphs. I saved it as a draft and haven't looked at it until today. Some of the stuff I said, though really honest... would not be taken kindly. I'm only around for two more months and while that was therapeutic: why start problems.

I like to think I'm some kind of tough and confrontational "I don't care" attitude person. I'm really so afraid of conflict I will do almost anything to avoid it.

I'm going to NYC to see whatever is on sale at TKTS and In The Heights (which, if you haven't heard the cast recording... you need to go listen to it quickly) tomorrow and Wednesday. We're staying at some IPod hotel with bunk beds... which is incredibly cool.

Graduate school responses are as follows:

1 interview3 no answer yet4 "you suck"2 "we'll take you but we're not an accredited institution"

So that's cool. In the way that the word 'cool' is dripping with sarcasm. Although an interview is grand... I mean hey, I only need one place to say "yes!" and where I'm interviewing they take (get this!) HALF of everyone they talk to. I just have to use my charm and good looks to get in (again with the sarcasm! BAM!). I will stay confident for the interview but past that... well, I'll be done so my confidence can deflate and I can just sit and allow total strangers decide my entire future. I can't tell you how much fun that is.

Good new is I have an internship at the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust again AND I get to be a teacher at Saltworks! At least my summer is planned! :-) I can't have more fun than working two theatre jobs. Knowing me, I'll try to do a show and throw some waitress-ing in as well.
