life is good.

So I just got done with the last analysis of the semester...it's a WONDERFUL feeling. So many hours spent on these darn analyses!

So my life is finally slowing down quite significantly....besides Peter Pan, which is gearing up soon. The rehearsals that I've had so far are enjoyable, except for the sing-through of the show in which I only had to sing in one song...but its okay! haha.

Now that directing is pretty much over, the stress has lifted. I am in the midst of rehearsals for my last scene...and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I'm doing the Rain in Spain from My Fair Lady....and I LOVE my actors..and they all sound wonderful...it's overall just been a great experience and alot of fun to do. I'm very pleased with the work everyone is doing.

I'm really enjoying the work I'm doing in acting class, I really like the character scenes, and it is boding well for me actually. I'm doing good work, and it's just nice to succeed in an acting class, since that is what I will be doing for the rest of my life, haha.

Overall, I'm quite please with life at the moment. I feel as if I'm finally coming out of my weird anti-social hermit-esque vortex I was in for the past couple weeks or so, and I'm hanging out with different people and just enjoying free time again and just loosening up, so to speak. I've felt so wound up and uptight lately...really I've just been very focused on schoolwork which is a good thing, I suppose, but sometimes you just need to relax!

I have already registered for my classes next semester, and I definitely feel like next semester is going to be a good one. I feel it in my bones! In all honesty, this semester actually fared pretty well for me too... I've accomplished alot which is always nice.

It's been beautiful weather lately. Life is good.

The rain in spain

I feel as if the days and weeks just turn into a blur...
It's already November?! What?! When did this happen!?
I'm already working on my very last directing analysis.... I feel like it was just last week that I was stressing out about it, and wondering if I would be any good at all...and now with 2 A's on both my last 2 scenes and analyses, I had really nothing to worry about! While I have found a new ability in directing, I still don't think it's something I want to pursue forever. But we'll see. =]
Directing aside, I definitely feel as if I have improved as an actress so much this year as well, especially with seminar in auditions (I got passed on from GTC to SETC this year! yay!) And I feel as if Meisner is really clicking with me now, and I am truly enjoying class, especially now that we are doing character scenes!
Now Peter Pan at the Springer is starting up on Monday, and I just got cast as Irene in Crazy For You (yay!) which starts rehearsals in January, and Crazy for You goes up in April- (Long rehearsal period, I know haha) so I have a full semester of theatre ahead! Not to mention SETC. Which is very exciting =].
Pretty soon it's Christmas time, and then a new semester. I can't believe it. It is truly bizarre. Time goes by so fast... In just a short amount of time from now I will be graduating! I really can't wait, but at the same time I am apprehensive as I will for one be on my own fully, and I will be moving to a new city as well. (I want to move to Atlanta after graduation.) I am very excited about my future though... I know that if I continue to work hard I will be able to achieve whatever I want =]

While my academic and theatre life is going swimmingly well, I feel as if my social life could use a pick-me-up, while at the same time, I feel like I literally don't have TIME for one. So it's a catch-22 there haha. I just feel really isolated alot, and that I don't make much of an effort to hang out with people unless they are in or if they stop by my apartment. But it's whatever. A social life is not important right now haha. I'll have time for that later :P

I need to get back to working on my analysis. My third scene is from My Fair Lady. =] The raiin in spaiin stays maiinlly in the plaainnn!!
