Chewing Gum & Graphite.

1. I got into the Williamstown Theatre Festival’s apprentice program! It was completely unexpected because I had called them a week or so before I found out asking if they had notified all of the selected apprentices and the guy I talked to said he was pretty sure they had. Crazy times. So, I’ll be in Massachusetts from June 14th to August 20th. I’m so excited.

2. Hopefully I will have secured an apartment by the time I leave.

3. Being home has been extremely lazy, but knowing that I will be doing things pretty much nonstop for two months (without air conditioning) is making my current sedentary/hermit-like liftesyle seem sort of acceptable.

4. I have ventured out into the world on a few occasions, however, mainly to catch up with friends and get my hair cut and ride my bike. Okay, so not totally sedentary. But I have spent an incredible amount of time in my bed (both sleeping and doing nothing of importance on the internet. Exhilarating.)

5. Today I was in Old City with my dad and we found this vintage store that doesn’t have prices on the clothes (most of which are in huge cardboard boxes), but instead the cashier puts the clothes you want to buy on a scale and charges you based on how much everything weighs. Like a salad or frozen yogurt! So, I got two dresses, a shirt, and a pair of shorts for $20. Amazing.

6. I’m getting my wisdom teeth out on Monday and I am actually terrified.

This time last year: run crew for Tisch mainstage.

This year: in Tisch mainstage.

Pretty cool. 

Subject Line: Tennis Balls

Hey everyone,

Forgive the egregious late notice on this one. For the top of class tomorrow if you could please bring three tennis balls each, it would be great!

Thanks so much,
Orlando

Today I got tickets to see John and Hank Green on January 11th, and Stephen Sondheim and Tony Kushner on January 17th. Combined with How to Succeed on the 7th, Jeff Mangum on the 20th, and rehearsals for The Displacement Project virtually all month, January is looking pretty sweet. Who cares that I’m only going to be home for two and a half days?

I GOT A PART IN A PLAY, GUYS. A PLAY WITH ONLY THREE CHARACTERS. AND I GOT A PART. I AM SO STOKED.

1. LEAKYCON STARTS TOMORROW. 

2. I cashed in all of my change and I had $70.

3. Today one of my friends/coworkers gave me a sweater. It is red and pretty and more pretty because it was free.

4. I’m seeing Beirut in September.

5. I got this amazing sparkly nail polish. I know that seems really trivial and stupid, but it is SO FREAKING COOL. It’s like disco moon dust.

6. Everything about The Comedy of Errors is great.

All of these things deserve to have exclamation points at the end of them, but I thought that would be excessive.

At Buffalo Exchange. I am so excited. Everyone I met is really nice. And the tagging gun is awesome. And my arms are going to get so strong from carrying clothes around all the time. I almost feel like a real adult or something.
