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 week was a good week. I got a part in a play, I rode on top of a double decker bus and went ice skating for free, I got all of the wonderful things I ordered from McSweeney’s, Adam and I got Jeff Mangum tickets, and the weather was lovely (for the most part).

But next week is going to be the most ridiculous thing ever: three auditions, three short papers and one longer one, a ton of stuff to memorize, class registration, rehearsal, rehearsal, rehearsal, and I think I am going to go crazy. But the Anais Mitchell show is next Sunday and then it’s basically Thanksgiving. Hopefully I will survive until then.

Right. Off to force myself to be productive.

On Thursday, I went to Brighton Beach to be in a student film. We found a dead cat and I had to prod it with an umbrella. ARRRRT!

On Friday, Adam bought a cassette tape deck, Ty showed us her short film that Alexis and I were in, and I went to a weird party in a tiny apartment on Thompson. 

On Saturday, a few of us saw Trojan Women at Atlantic. I had mixed feelings about it. Then there was the Broome talent show with free pizza and then Hannah’s party, which was nine-year-old themed and a lot of fun.

Today my dad visited and we went to Lombardi’s at a weird time so we didn’t have to wait and then walked all the way to the High Line, walked the whole High Line, and then walked to Penn Station to take the subway back here.

It was a good weekend, but I have a midterm on Tuesday that I haven’t really studied for. I will tomorrow. I will study so much tomorrow.
