spring break…what break?

Well, I guess it’s a break from the routine of classes. Other than that, still pretty busy. Working full time this week and I should be catching up on schoolwork. There’s this ten page paper I should write but somehow after eight hours of work that’s the last thing you want to do. Am I being lazy? I do need to take at least a day or two of this week and just do nothing… been going full speed for some time now.

Went to a reading/workshop of some new one act plays yesterday. They were written by a guy who I auditioned for a little while back but whose other play I could unfortunately not do. I would like to work with him and at that space though. I really like to do plays off-campus, just to get a different perspective, different energy and also just for the experience.

I have two projects coming up. A guy from Buff State wrote a play that we already performed here but we’ll be doing it at a different venue in the “Right to be Heard” Festival downtown at Shea’s Smith theatre. We haven’t gone into rehearsal again for it yet but they’re a fun bunch of people to work with,so I’m looking forward. And tomorrow I have my first readthrough of an upcoming play I have a little part in at Tornspace theatre (also off-campus). I don’t know if I’m physically ready to jump into the next projects yet but it’s almost like I’m addicted to acting and the whole process.

I worry that I may be spreading myself a little thin, but I’m doing what I love to do. What people who made a difference with their lives got everything they wanted? To have a chance at being the best you can be, sacrifices must be made. My only problem is making sure I am sacrificing the right things. For example: my social life is close to non-exsistent outside of the cast of the particular show I’m working on or the occasional cup of coffee with someone from a former show you want to catch up with. Of course there are shows and events which are always a good way to combine work and pleasure. But I need to choose what’s best for the big picture and I feel like I am on the right track!
Off to clean my apartment now….
