Call Backs today!!

So yesterday off a whim I decided to try out for a musical and got a call back!! It was so much fun! The two girls I was going up against were SO Fantastic! I'm sure one of them is going to get the part. I wish I could because the music is just so amazing but both of them have been in the Theatre program way longer and they know what's going on!! So callbacks started at 9am, and I woke up about 7:30 and got ready and then headed over to the Audition Place when I got there I forgot to bring Character shoes! So I practically ran home to get my jazz shoes and better pants, I had walked to school smart me right? I got there about 8:56 which was good I had a little time to calm dawn and breathe and then we introduced ourselves and got to singin'! Then after we did a group sing audition, they made us move to a dance studio in the Multipurpose room, and we "Abby's" had our singing audition and I think I did a decent job but I hit this amazingly high note! It was awesome! The we had a, dance rehearsal yay...not really, it was ok I skipped a few steps but I tried to stay into character, and that's all I can do! Then we had a read and again it was ok, at least I'm consistent right? And then it was over, just like that! Anyway we find out at 1:00 if we made it and I'm more sad then nervous, atleast I GOT a callback! I strutted my stuff and if they didn't like it well that's too bad! I just hope that maybe they give me a chorus part THAT would be really fun! Anyway That's what happed today! That and I'm heading into vegas to work for the last time at Old Navy...geez it feels weird saying that, so I'll you soon Jenny and Jess!!
Much Love and Kisses

1st Blog

I never really though about writing a blog but now that I'm away from all of my friends and family, I thought you guys would like to to know what's going on in my life. Well after a whirlwind experience getting admitted to SUU and starting classes so soon, life is going ok. I'm still a little lonely, but I met this really awesome girl named Morgan. She's a Freshman and a Musical Theatre Major, and it's nice to have someone to hang out with who has the same interests. My roommate Liz is really nice and funny but she's really busy with a life, I would like to get one of those soon! I went to my majors meeting today and it just was overwhelming how many actual people are in the College of Visual and Preforming Arts, I'm going to make sure that I work my hardest to get into the BFA program, if I can. Peter Sham, one of the people in charge said that we might be able to work something out if I'm willing to go into school another year, and for a BFA I would. I got a job in the costume shop today!!! If I have to sew I'm going to do the best job I can! Dawn-Marie said I could use her sewing machine and I think I'm going use it to practice making different things. I might not be fast, but if I'm patient the I know I'll be able to make amazing things! My boss seems really nice, I can't wait to get my schedule, to start working! My last day at Old Navy is Saturday, it feels really good and bad at the same time. I'm going to miss making what I make. RIP my current salary.....ANYWAY I think Mom you would be proud of me, today I went for a walk, just to walk! The Gym at school is 60 dollars for a semester or 120 for a year, I'll weigh my options and then decide which I want to get but I know for sure I want to go. Eating more Veggies has seriously improved my outlook on life, today they were serving free cake and ice cream in the quad and I just wanted to eat my yogurt. I love walking to school, It's getting faster too! I haven't used my car in two days I feel very accomplished! I might get another job depending on how much I make during work study, which is not much! So I'm going to try out for Elephant Man, the play mainstage is doing if I don't get into that, which I have a feeling I wont, I'm going to be involved in 24 hour theatre it sounds like so much fun even being a stagehand would be awesome! Lets see what else happened today.....I fit into my American Eagle pants!!! I'm so excited! As Much as I loved living with Grandma and Grandpa I just couldn't eat healthy, now I'm controlling what I eat and how much I eat and it feels so good! I can have treats but I choose not to overindulge. It's all about controlling your self, I just wasn't able to do that before. Enough for one day, I can't wait to write again!
Much Love and kisses!!
