Where I'll be this same time next year, that is. I have no idea..BUT I do know it's going to be exciting, and it's going to be something I love doing. People keep asking me what my plans are after I graduate. My response is, "My plan is to not have a plan". I won't know until right before I graduate what I'm actually going to. Beforehand, I am going to audition like crazy for things all over the place, and apply to grad schools.... and from there, well, I will have done my part. I really really don't want to sit around in the same place. I want my life to be ever-changing. Sometimes I see people not doing what they love and living such a stagnate life. I never want to be that unmotivated. Gotta keep chuggin, Alli... just keep chugging! lol. Yes, I'm talking to myself.
I'm really enjoying school. I feel like I'm finally (yes, in my fifth year!) getting used to really being a student...and not just any kind of student-- no no no!!-- a good student!! lol. And I'm actually enjoying school work. Errrrr, that just makes me nerd, doesn't it?
I just got cast in a musical called "I'll Be Seeing You" out at Millworks Theatre-- a splendid new theatre out at the Mill in Lebanon. The show is written and directed by Lydia. Super stoked to get started on it. It is such a good feeling to be able to do something that you love and actually get paid to do it. I am (to an extent) living my dream! : ) It is definitely going to be crazy for the next couple of weeks!! It opens on October 1st. More details to come.
I threw Fraiz a (semi-)surprise 21st birthday party this past weekend. It was a freakin blast and it was so so good to see everyone!
I'm taking Conducting this semester. It's weird though.. I thought it would be the most difficult class, but I kinda feel like I'm pretty good at it. I know that I will for sure be using the skills at some point in my life. I could definitely see myself being a musical director for a show. Hopefully I'll get many opportunites to do so.
I've been walking a LOT since I've been home. Anytime that I drive my car, I feel so lazy!! I think I truly am now a European at heart. Oh I so hope I get to travel again very soon!! Paris was sooooo beautiful-- picnics in front of the Lourve and under the Eiffel Tower, amazing sunsets, wine and cheese and baguettes! lol. And Germany is just as picturesque-- no words to describe.
Well, time for some coffee and a book. Peace, love, and motivation.
