So our show is already over. It went by so fast. I’m sad. I had a really good time. My character was so much fun. It was so interesting to explore that part of me that could just be energetic, happy, intense and naive. People look at being naive as something bad. But with this character I found out how much fun she had because of her ignorance and inexperience.
Not only did the play go by but the semester with it. Not too much time is left to catch up on the work I have been neglecting. I am happy when teachers have a policy that you can throw away one test grade or homework assignment because I can definitely use it in more than one subject. I’m not doing bad but I will be prepared to not have a 3.8 this semester. That’s ok. I did a fun show which I got good feedback for and grew as a person and an artist. Who cares about perfect grades when you have that?
Tonight is strike (taking down the set,etc). Although not a “techie” I do enjoy. First off I do love using tools even if I’m not exactly the best with them- I’m still such a tomboy… and secondly it’s a good way to say goodbye to the show. I know that sounds corny but when you invest three months of your life so fully to a project and then all of a sudden, you bow and the lights go off it can be tough. It will always be a part of me now. The short run of college shows is so unsatisfying to me. Just when the show is getting good and everyone gets on the same page its over!
I’m going to go grab some pizza, been trying to stay healthy during the show but I can feel my body letting go. I am already feeling a sore throat and stuffy nose and an icredible craving for junk food. I think I will indulge. Take a little break. And then it’s back to the game.
