Too long to sit

I feel sad. I've hit my "This is TOO LONG to sit in someone else's rehearsals" wall that happens in Equity rehearsals. It's a combination of sitting still, which is hard, plus the fact that rehearsals are great places to think about my life. The realizations pile up and suddenly I want to go DO my life.

In high school, I never got around to applying to college. Summer was blissfully filled by my band and boyfriend. But in fall everyone left for college and I realized -- I FORGOT TO SET UP MY LIFE. I hung around and went back for a post-grad year at high school. That is what it feels like to be at the Intiman again, after having been to the Odin. In high school, I picked a college the next year, and bounded off. I'm hoping the pattern will repeat, and some great leap awaits.

Today, listening to two young directors talk about which MFA programs they were applying to, I got a wave of that "forgot to set up my life" feeling again.

What's a girl to do? Somke self-care, of course -- hot dinner, hot bath, early bed, extra sleep. See y'all tomorrow.
