Well, I'm pretty sure that I'm insane. But I asked for as many opportunities as possible this year and I'm getting them thrown at me so I'm not going to complain. Also, it's my favorite play and there is no way on this planet that I'm going to give up the opportunity to perform it.
In the middle of The Alchemist and I'm auditioning for Midsummer Night's Dream. Yup. I'm going there. We're performing Alchemist on November 13th (not a Friday, unfortunately) and MN'sD isn't getting performed until February sometime I don't think. So I'm going to bet that auditions and callbacks are going to take some time and then they have to get the rehearsal schedule set up so about the same time that that is happening, we should be finishing up and getting ready to perform. In theory, I should be okay to do both. I'll be jumping from one into the other but whatever. Also, I'm trying to memorize my lines (all four of them...) for Alchemist but I've almost got them down. On top of that, I have to memorize a 1-2 minute Shakespeare comedic monologue. SHAKESPEARE!!!! I'm thinking Twelfth Night or Taming of the Shrew since I'm somewhat familiar with those stories and I don't really want to do Much Ado About Nothing because we had that performed for us and it'll be prominent in people's minds.
And I'm 95% sure I'm going to be switching majors because there is no way I'll be able to emotionally handle not being able to soothe the world's ills and learning about them analytically. I guess this is the price I pay for opening up my emotions for acting. I can't help everyone and it sucks. So yeah. I'm going to go do homework and study for my history midterm. And pray. There will definitely be some praying happening.
Peace out!!
