And yet I'm still being unproductive. It's funny-- I think I'm actually more productive when I am running from morning to night on various excitements as two musicals at the same time plus academics plus music lessons plus college apps plus OH MY GOD.
I'm not entirely sure how I managed to pull off two shows simultaneously. Now, granted, I had a fairly small role in Willy Wonka, meaning I could focus the majority of my efforts on Sweeney, but I still had a significant role that required a lot of my time and attention. It's... pretty strange. And I've gotta say that I'm fairly proud of myself for balancing my entire life (with, of course, the possible exception of chemistry) and managing to pull through. :)
But now I go into a slump that lasts through January. That's not to say that I don't have significant things going on-- I have a voice recital, senior choir concert, Select, NHS, and a lot of things between now and February. But, generally, I have a very significant amount of time back in my life. But what to do with it? I've already caught up on all my favorite TV shows on Hulu, and have managed to sink a few hours into this new Facebook game called DataWorm (which is effing addicting.) Perhaps I can work on some scholarships.
Speaking of scholarships, I got accepted into CSU! This is very exciting, because it's the first college that has sent me a letter of acceptance. I don't find it completely surprising, but it still came as a shock. I have had a nasty habit this year of forgetting I'm a senior. This was the first metaphorical nail in the coffin of my childhood.
Wow. That sounded bleak. Think of this nail as a positive happy nail made of cotton candy and sunshine, and the coffin is a magical coffin that will transport you to lands of wonders and you'll have a more accurate vision of my life. :)
But yes. CSU is, of course, comparatively inexpensive. Especially when you compare it to such prestigious academies as NYU (which I'm kind of over... for now.) But I want to get scholarships to cover my tuition and possibly room and board (which is actually pretty expensive) so that I can use what's saved in my college fund for future conservatory fun at the Manhattan School of Music. Then Eric gets his MM and lives the rest of his life as a loving opera/Broadway star and dies, having fulfilled his dream.
So, I suppose I'll do that a little bit too. :D
I certainly have the time.
OH Eric!! I could say so many things to this... but in a good way!! lol :) The first thing I would say is that this is another blog of yours that I loved, and I would also say that if you so much time on your hands then we should hang out sometime!!! :) And I don't think as Eric Mcconnell playing Mr.Salt as a small role I think of it as awesomeness!!! :) Oh, Im so glad were friends!
