The weather outside is amazing! The sun is shining, it’s not even noon and the temperature is already high enough for people to be running around in shorts! But Buffalo is funny because not too long ago we were still in wintercoats and scarves praying it wouldn’t snow again. It still might, who knows. This is a tricky time for me, trying desperately not to get sick, because I’m working on another show.
Only four more weeks of school… It’s so odd, where did the semester go? Looking down the syllabi of various classes it’s so refreshing to find out there’s only one more test left or only two more projects due…
Although I didn’t do any schoolwork during spring break it was beneficial for regaining focus. Something we learn for acting, that applies to every scene we do, is to ask ourselves: What do I want? It’s a good reminder in life, too. When I find myself getting carried away with the petty problems of/with silly people at school, I take a step back and ask myself: What do I want? It usually helps. I have big dreams and aspirations and I can’t afford to let myself be dragged down by a few people (who I may never see again!)
That’s the beauty of life and especially youth: the endless choices and possibilites that are constantly spread out before us. At the same time though it is a scary, at times overwhelming realization too. I can’t blame anyone anymore for the things that happen in my life. It’s all up to me. I was complaining about school to a friend the other day and he told me I was learning things I won’t appreciate till possibly much later in life. I guess that realization of independence and choice is one of them.
Can’t wait to have time to do some travelling soon! See some new faces, get some new impressions, get out of my lttile life that has become so narrow!
Watch out world, here I come! :)
