A question...

So, my question of the day has been driving me crazy for about...oh let's say two weeks now. How do you a) be a full-time student taking 18 units and aiming for all A's, b) manage to take care of your dog, body, and apartment, and c) audition/prepare for/dedicate yourself to a show? So far I'm managing items a and b, though not without difficulty...and I'm already going crazy not being in a show even though I've only been out of one for about 3.5 weeks now. So how does one stay ahead of their already overwhelming circumstances and a show at the same time? So, the obvious answer (and the one that everybody offers first), is to say. Hey kid, you've been doing shows non-stop for 2 years, and at least twice a year for about 10 years before that...so maybe it wouldn't be a horrible idea to take a semester off. However, the answer I keep leaning towards is "Oh sure! You can do it all! Who needs sleep? And besides, you can't waste opportunities like this!"

So, really I suppose the question is "Which form of insanity do you choose... a) manageable insanity without a show,  or b) almost unmanageable insanity with a show?"

Once more with feeling!

Well, here we go again. Another show under the belt, and a location change. Funny what can happen in a few months really.

I am now in Marin and have a stack of homework that is big enough to make your eyes water and your head ache before you even contemplate picking up a pencil. Yay college. But hey, at least I'm going somewhere, right? Going somewhere...right. Developing carpal tunnel more like it.

Anyway, thank you Sav for inspiring me to write yet another random and slightly pointless post in a blog that I will probably forget about in a week or so. But hey, at least I'm entertained! And doing a splendid job ignoring my english book at the moment...
