Decisions

So this weekend really opened my eyes to the reality of my life. I hate being at school. for as long as I can remember I loved being in the classroom and learning, but now that I know what I want to do with my life it changes everything. Collegiate theatre is killing me. This weekend I went to see Daniel (my stage manager from this summer). He and one of the actresses were doing the show at Turning Stone Casino and he called and told me he reserved tickets for me so i had better get my butt out there. So I did. After the show he brought me backstage and introduced me to Carlos, who is in charge of recruiting talent and production staff for TOC, the production company that puts on Menopause. Carlos took my name and told me to send in my resume they're always looking for help. Daniel strongly recommended me to him which was great :-). So because of my epiphany that I could be working professionally I've decided to try to graduate early. I could graduate this year if it wasn't for ONE class. I'm so angry I didn't take theatre history 1 this semester. It's only offered in the fall so I have to stay til next fall. BAH! I only need to take 7 more classes plus 4 credits of theatre practicum (usually offered as 2 credits per show). I'd be extrememly stressed and irritable but I think I could handle it. If I can somehow manage to get the theatre department to give me credit for SMing the music club's opera then I will be fine. I'm working on the musical and will be getting 2 credits for that. If that doesn't work I'll do props or something for one of the shows next semester or be an assistant designer. I'm meeting with my adviser tomorrow to go over everything. I'm going to see what I can do about maybe doing an independent study for Theatre History I and getting out at the end of this year. I'm also bringing my resume with me so we can go over that too. Real life here I come...hopefully.
