I'm Back

Sorry for the ten day hiatus, it has been a relative shit storm around Shorter Theatre for the moment. Here's basically how life is going:

-APO Induction-We had a good time, in spite of the fact that is was way too formal for a Theatre ceremony at Shorter. We're low-key people; so, we posed on a pedestal to match our personality while they read our achievements. Oh, and I'm the President, which reminds me that I have got to have an officer's meeting tomorrow.

-English Capstone-Passed with flying colors. Reportedly, the words "graduate-level" were used to describe my performance. Yes, you can imagine me nonchalantly blowing on my fingers if you want. I completely fucked up the "Prufrock" question (sorry Kate), but I more than made up for it with my Oedipus Rex and Othelle responses.

-Love's Call-Amazing performance last Monday night. My mother was unable to come, but it was a remarkable night regardless. My cast was amazing, Davis stole the show as the Nurse (apparently, she thrives on an audience), and I simply couldn't have been prouder. That happened six days ago. It feels like an eon.

-Millie auditions-Lord, save me. Auditions Tuesday, Callbacks were Wednesday, and the cast list finally went up Saturday afternoon. In the middle of all this, I have been caught in a shitstorm of controversy that I won't go into here. But, suffice it to say, multiple people have lost my trust for this process and I will proceed warily. The show is double-cast, and I'm refraining from an opinion until I see how it works out. It is certainly...different.

-Justin and Asha's Senior Show-Really good performance. I'm proud of both of them. Justin's dad grabbed me and yelled at me because I was the house manager. Then he apologized with a zero-distance of personal bubble. Twice. Which was all fine, except that I really like my personal bubble.

-Personal Life-I haven't seen any of my friends for any length of time in days. K'Fain is busy this weekend, and I have been too 90-to-nothing to call. I should call Kate ASAP to fill her in on stuff. I spent all of yesterday in bed watching movies on Netflix. At dinner, I stumbled into the living room to watch movies in there. I love having the apartment to myself.

I hope this week turns out better.
