So yesterday I had my first test in Theater History. The questions that always screw me up are those that have all of the above…….I just sit there and stare at the answers and don’t go with my first instinct, which is usually right. I always think “Is this a trick?” and usually it isn’t and I make it harder than it is. Other than that I think I did pretty OK.
I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders this week. I was taught this week that sometimes it’s OK to sit in the argument for a while and not to try to hurry and fix it because if you just wait it could possibly work itself out. So all that added stress is definately not needed.
On a darker side of things, I’m sick. There has been something going around and unfortunately I caught it. I’m a fighter so I know this will be no big deal. I took some nighttime medicine last night and I’m already starting to feel better. It gets so confusing sometimes because I’m never sure if it’s my allergies or not. When I’m sick sometimes I do my best work because I’m not pushing. So actually I’m kinda excited that I’m sick, however wierd that sounds.

Rehearsal
So we started rehearsal last night for Antigone, and it was great. I love sitting with the cast and discussing and reading, it’s the beginning of our new family. Our large 21 person family. It’s really something to see everyone sitting at the table. It makes me really excited for the process. I’m signed up for a practicum this semester, which is getting a credit for working on a show and I get to paint the set for Anigone. I love painting, I think it’s a riot. There has been so much going on this semester so far that it’s taken me a little bit longer to get back into the swing of things, but I think I’m getting back on track. The first show of the season Baltimore Waltz opens in a little over two weeks. I’m really excited, not only because the cast is three of my good friends but the play is interesting. We’re holding auditions today for our Directing class. We’re directing Doubt and I can’t wait to be sitting on the other side of the table. It’s going to be different and outrageous. Well that’s all from me for now. My brain keeps jumping around frantically if you couldn’t tell. :)

The Beginning
So here we go. Another semester has begun. I’ve jam packed my schedule with a crazy work load. Not to mention that I dance and just got cast in Antigone (woo!), but my mom always said that I’m never happy unless my life is in chaos. I couldn’t be more excited. I’m also the Production Manager of Casting Hall Productions which is our student-run production company on campus. We co-produce the season with faculty, which is a unbelievable experience. Things have picked up considerably since the semester started. I had to give my brain a jump start because my mind was still in summer relaxation mode. My biggest challenge is going to be writing my solo show. I am the furthest thing from a writer. The class terrifies me in a good way, so I’m sure it’s going to be a rewarding experience. Well I got to go grab something to eat before the union gets packed. Sorry for such a short entry, but there wil be plenty more.
