And Yet Another Good Reason to Miss School (Audition Day 2)

AUDITION DAY 2!!!

Stephanie, Tanya, and I tried for walk-ins at the Palmer house today for college auditions and Tanya and Stephanie ended up auditioning for Hartford! (Wooooot!!!) Stephanie scheduled a NIU audition as well as Point Park University with Tanya and I for tomorrow.  Point Park was interesting because it was a random school we just kind of walked into. It was free and is in Pennsylvania. Worth a try.

Today I did NYU. Now that was interesting. I went in there and they talked to everyone. About the school and the classes; what to expect when going there. They really reeled me in. They had two seperate rooms for singing and acting. My first one was singing and I went in there and the guy was super nice. I did my songs but they were not that great...I felt I did them better yesterday. Then in the acting one I did both monologues and the woman only stopped me because she said she wanted time for her and I to talk. She asked me about how theatre has changed me and significant experiences and politics that I deem important in life. She then asked me if I wanted to be considered for the acting studios outside of musical theatre at NYU and I said yes. So hey it's a better chance.

Although I did really like NYU more today, Hartt is still my number one...I just love the whole idea of being out of a BIG CITY. Not that I don't like it, just, I want a change. 

These two days have been so trying. But just one more to go. It's terrifying. Just seeing it on the faces of people at auditions. Kids with our whole lives ahead of us, with just one word that can make or break us. Accepted or Denied.
