come back

i'm starting to revive my motivation. before the goal was so close that i just thought i might sail through to the finish line.
...
sound weird? yes, let's face it. that isn't me. i think once i remembered who i was, my motivation started to come back. it's still has not fully returned but i'm started to want to work on things again. realizing that every day is schedule from roughly 10am to 11:30pm reminds me that i cannot slow down, i cannot wait. i have to be doing something all the time, even if it isn't exactly what i'm "supposed" to be doing.

i always have to be doing something. silly me.

now that spring has sprung

senioritis is grasping on to me so very hard right now. but i have to stay motivated. have to. it is time to finish this monster!

i'm about to be a college graduate.

segmented thoughts

we finally read through the entire play. we've been doing table work on an act a day for the last three days. it's amazing how much more are in some plays than you ever expect. i think as college theatre artists we tend to write off older plays as dated and beneath our experimental geniuses. that idea is misguided. there's a lot in miracle worker, a lot that can be mined and challenging for actors. don't write it off yet.

furthermore, how refreshing it is to work with a director who treats each of his actors equally. i feel and, i believe, everyone feels equally appreciated in the cast. it is a weird sensation to feel this way considering previous experiences. i think i'm going to like this show.

the first day of the last quarter of my undergraduate career came and went without much hype. i suppose it was because i was fighting off a significant cold that i didn't fully comprehend the weight of this last day. it might hit me next week when i am fully functioning once again.

it is the season of denials in the admissions office. so far in my time in the office i have only had to field two denial calls; one of those calls was today. it is a devastating experience to listen to some stories and just wish there was something that i, personally, could do. but i can't.

TGIF tomorrow.
