Artistic Bucket List.

Note to self:
When she asks you “what’s devised theatre and what’s the triangle shirtwaist factory?” Don’t respond in essay format including historical facts and complete definitions of devised and environmental theatre.

Mass Transit!
I don’t know how much I can give away about the set list. But let’s just say its filled Adele, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, and perhaps N’Sync. But whose giving anything away?
I'm challenging myself.
From now on, during the week I will not go on Facebook or Tumblr till 10pm and will only go on for an hour. I need to be more productive.

Guess who got into Mass Transit?

CALLBACKS
They went so well. Thank God I did Songs for a New World because they had us breakup into parts and only played each part once then we would have to sight sing in our group. Insane. But after “The River Won’t Flow,” “Your Love is My Drug,” the ballad, was rather easy so I got to switch between tenor 1 and tenor 2, getting to sing more times. But I was surprised at how...
I got a callback for Mass Transit!
I’m so freakin’ excited! Mass Transit is an all male a capella and they are epic! I was surprised on how many guys there were at the audition!I thought there was no hope at all. Still waiting to hear back from Vocaholics, fingers crossed.

Having friends in high places (an unnamed friend)
Unnamed friend: Check out this video. This girl just got cast in the Godspell revival and she's not even that good.
Me: No. She's really not... You are unreal. How did you find this video? There are like 200 hits on this, she's a complete no one. Do you just google this stuff, or..?
Unnamed friend: No. I'm not THAT much of a creeper. Hunter just sent it to me.
Me: Wait.. like.. Hunter, hunter? Hunter Parish?
Unnamed friend: (like its nothing) Yeah.
Me: He emailed that to you? You know him?
Unnamed friend: Yeah. You're forgetting I worked with him for a while. He's one of my really good friends..
Me: Like Hunter from Weeds?
Unnamed friend: Yes. I still haven't seen that show yet. Hahahaha.. But anyway isn't that girl awful?! I mean how did she get cast? I've been laughing about her all morning. Can't wait to see that train wreck....

then my tap professor says things like “Well, I don’t give many A’s. I mean, Lady Gaga, she was stephanie at the time, took my class and she got a B. ‘needs to work on that foot work,’ was the note I took on her. So if she got a B, you can get a B, mhmmmkay?” And I suddenly remember how ridiculously pretentious some people can be and am incredibly happy I am...

Writing my essay to go abroad.
This is for real. Update: I hate writing essays when I have to talk about myself.
The most amazing morning ever.
My two classes- Tap and Jazz. AMAZING. Tap was a bit more difficult than I had anticipated, but maybe its because I took intermediate tap when I’ve never actually taken a tap class before. Smart ideas? I think not. But Skokan and Cat are in the class, so I love it. Then there is Jazz. Which is the most amazing class ever. Its a jazz, hip hop and ballet combination and its the most insane...

But I just watch the documentary entitled “The Suicide Tourist,” which made me do as such. Apparently, there is a place in Switzerland that not only does assisted suicide legally, but also accept patients from all over the world. So this PBS documentary follows a man, Craig, who is diagnosed with ALS and is paralyzed besides his ability to speak, during his last few days before his...
