On your marks! Get set!

Go! In twelve and a half hours I will be boarding a plane to New York City! I don't even know what to do with myself right now. I finally finished packing and it only took about three days total, which, for me is pretty good. Probably the main reason why it took me three days is because I kept getting distracted by the pretty shiny internet and random trips to Target. I also had to stop by QuikTrip and while I was there buying soda for my mother a grizzly man bear walked in and had the following conversation with Mr. QuikTrip man:
....
Grizzly man bear: You guys got any liquor?

Mr. QuikTrip man: Why, yes. It is all in the case right over there.

Grizzly man bear: You got any in plastic?

Mr. QuikTrip man: We do have some in plastic bottles.

Grizzly man bear: I need vodka.
....
This was the first time I have been in a QuikTrip where I have ever seen someone buy liquor. Not beer, but liquor. The whole time this was happening Mr. QuikTrip man was trying to ring up my 12 pack of diet coke and looked incredibly confused by the fact that this Grizzly man bear desperately needed vodka in a plastic bottle. Probably because this Grizzly man bear looked like he could have ripped his arm off if he didn't get what he wanted.

Also! Look at what I found on pretty shiny internet:

Now, this is just a parody. I really hope Hollywood doesn't see this and get any ideas.  Fingers crossed!

One Step Closer!

Today I received The Packet of Information from Springboard! It included yet another welcome letter, a map of NYC, info about dates, directions, clothing, resumes, monologues, housing, transportation, and a section saying they're still making an official schedule. So it's super exciting! But I'm still in the dark about what I'm going to be doing. But it's still SUPER EXCITING. One of my favorite parts of welcome letter #2 is when they tell me that they're going to show us "fulfilling jobs backstage...career possibilities that you may not have learned about it college."
This concept was so foreign to me because my first thought was: who doesn't learn about backstage stuff in college? We are required to do things outside of acting in order to graduate! And then I remembered not everyone goes to a liberal arts college. Right. Gold star for getting ahead of the curve!...kind of.
So anyways, now, I just want to start packing and making to do lists and anything that isn't waiting. I am easily the most impatient person I know and when I'm excited about something the only thing I want to do is obsess over it and plan outfits. Sadly, I decided to take a couple of online summer classes on top of all this craziness so I need to learn about the sociological and psychological effects of illicit drugs instead. I also need to take care of my puppy because she isn't feeling well. The poor thing keeps eating grass.


Also, Randy Lutterman's phone number is all over this packet, so I feel like she's a friend or something like that.

Just to reiterate: I'M SO EXCITED!

It's official!

I'm going to be an intern in Chicago! Yay! That means I have about 3 days between getting back from New York and moving up to Chicago to do all of my laundry and re-pack. I'm gonna be a pro at packing by the end of the summer. I'm super excited because that means I get to learn about two theatre scenes in two different big cities, which are the top two place I'm looking at moving to after graduation next year. I'm going to get to compare and contrast them and probably come up with a legitimate pros and cons list instead of one that I base off movies and stories from friends. Now, I just have to figure out a living situation.

I've realized I will never have nothing on my to-do list.

I've heard that's what being an adult means, but I kind of don't want to believe it. At least, not yet.
