Wow. I can tell the semester is about to begin, I feel stressed. I have to keep reminding myself to breathe. Things for Dangerous Liasons are finally coming together. It begins Monday. Donn Youngstrom and I have to create the rehearsal schedule. It is such a tedious task. Trying to work around conflicts and schedules.
I feel sooo exhausted and we haven’t even begun. I am looking forward to all of my classes, but I know that a few weeks into this semester I am going to become overwhelmed. I really need to learn stress management skills! Also today I have the task of pricing textbooks. It sucks. There is nothing more depressing than seeing all your hard earned money going away towards a general education book that wont be used again! but if I look on the bright side, I only have two semesters of book buying left.

The future
I have been talking to a lot of old friends. It is so weird to think that we are all going to be graduating soon. Everyone is setting up interviews and planning their next step. I have no idea what mine is! I like school. I don’t really want to leave because I am not sure what I really want to do with my life. I love performing, but designing is kind of fun. I haven’t even tried directing yet, I will probably like that too. It is so hard to narrow things down.
Then there’s where to go after school. It’s hard for theater majors to set up a job right after school, so where do I go? I don’t know about New York yet, I would have to save some money. I would like to see so much of the world, I don’t wanna be stuck in one place. Then there’s tv and film or the stage. Geez all these choices, and right now I am indecisive. Or maybe just scared! Oh well, I still have two semesters. I should know by then, I hope.

My first blog
Hello, I’m Emily and I guess I should tell you a little about myself. I am a senior theater major at Buff State. Most people have a concentration, I don’t really. I have yet to decide what I want to do in the theater, I like it all! This past semester I performed for the first time at Buff State in The Rocky Horror Show. It was fabulous! I learned so much about myself as a performer and as a person. The show was successful too. We sold out the Warren Enters Theater for the first time since it reopened.
I concentrated on acting this semester. I have always wanted to be a performer, but I get scared easily. So I have spent a lot of time working on my stage managment skills, I mean you have to have something to fall back on. This coming semester I was not cast, but I am going to be the stage manager for Dangerous Liasons. It should be fun, although I am kind of disappointed. I really wanted to do more acting outside of school this next semester, but stage managing this show isn’t going to allow for that. I may just have to quit my job so I can act and stage manage!
