"Never give up. Never surrender!"

I'm coming up at the last couple of weeks of my first year of college. My audition into the major is next week and just thinking about it makes my neck hurt like nobody's business. I'm incredibly stressed about the whole thing, tension coiling in my body like a snake preparing to strike. Sorry. I've been writing a lot.
I've learned so much. And I'm not sure how people manage it. But it is the trial by fire and fire purifies. Also, I'm horribly stubborn and I'm not good at letting people in. Turns out that acting has a lot to do with it, or at least how I'm learning the craft. So I've been having to overcome  natural inclinations, defenses I've built up over the past nineteen years of my life, and a butt ton of fear concerning people in general. Yay.
Sigh. I'm not supposed to be doing that. I genuinely mean that because I like boiling down who people are and digging into the past. Taps into the writer part of my mind.  So when the semester ends, I'll have a post up about the summation of what I've learned.
