Today marks exactly one week in Florida. It has felt like much longer, unfortunately. Hopefully once the season gets going and I have more to do, the next 35 weeks will fly by. (Yes, I counted them.) I'm starting to panic a little about being here. Partially because I'm worried that I will not be able to take advantage of as many opportunities down here as I thought I would; partially because I feel like I am missing out on opportunities in the Burgh; and partially because I'm a wimp. I know these reasons are my own neuroses, but there they are. So for my good friends that are about to pounce on those comments to set me straight, I totally know what you will say, and you are completely right. I just need to work it out in my brain.
Today there is a company BBQ in Cape Coral, so I'm hoping that will be a positive event. The other acting interns want to carpool all the livelong day to every blessed thing, but I'm not sure it's wise to spend all our time together when we've still got another 8 months ahead of us. I'm going to fly solo on this one. We'll see how it goes. I ain't mad at some BBQ.
Tomorrow we have mainstage auditions. (They were postponed from Saturday). This is where my neuroses come in. If the costume lady is correct in saying that I am in Rumors as a cop for two pages, I most likely can be counted out for It's a Wonderful Life (which has real roles available) which would be rehearsing while Rumors is in performance. My only other opportunity for a good role would be in Black Tie which requires a "wasp-y" girl who is super fit and likes to go on long runs..... so I have that goin' for me. Yikes. But I suppose it is what it is. I'm going to try like hell to be in Black Tie despite the fact that I am aesthetically opposite of what the script requires. I guess I'll report back on this at a later date.
In the meantime, I feel like my roommate Tyler and I are getting along swimmingly and could be friends. He seems to be the social cornerstone of the company, so people are often in and out of our apartment. Hopefully I can befriend some people outside of the internship at least by default. : )
Also, John and I have started planning visits and things, so I have been unbelievably excited about that. I cannot wait until the first one. If I know the next 35 weeks will be split up by sporadic visits, I might just make it out of here alive. ;)
I apologize for the dismal tone of this post. It's a weird morning.

I like that White Chocolate finish. You are and are going to be wonderful. Neurosis or no neurosis. Have fun. I'll send you hours of video of me making faces whenever you need. I think a dance or lip syncing might be next. Once a week. I've decided. 35 weeks of video. Maybe a few more, or guest stars sprinkled in. -White Chocolate Out
ReplyDeleteDo your very best and remember that with each role you not only gain more insight to the world around you, but those around you will see another part of your talents and hard work. It will pay off like it usually does. I love you Julianne. Mom
