back from the dead..... with a vengeance!!! dun dun DAHHH!
ok so i wasn't dead... and i don't have a vengeance... just play along, ok?
I, for one, am astonished at how fast this summer is going.
It feels like yesterday I was struggling to balance Playmakers and Kiwanis and school and SEARS and Student Cabinet and Prom Committee and a Valedictorian Speech and a billion other extracurriculars and oh yeah... work. Family fit in there somewhere too.
Nowadays its all work. But get this folks, not just at the Pizza Train.... nooooope. i still only work there like once every month. i have a job in Bayfield now too! i serve breakfasts at the Ritz since i'm not old enough to get my smartserve yet... grrr... and the occasional shift i'll work as a dishwasher.... NEVER. BE A DISHWASHER. EVER.
So yeah, summer has been going unbelievably fast and usually that'd be a completely good thing. Because that would usually mean going back for another exciting and eventful year of highschool (yes i'm a dork who likes school, i KNOW that thank you) and going back to Playmakers and getting to see most of you again after a summer's hiatus. But not this september. This september i'm going to Windsor. EXCITING! but also a little scary.... like 95% exciting, 5% scary...

Exciting because:
- Its a new chapter in a kickass book of my life
- I'm going to school for ACTING! my education from this point on is going to be focussed on dramatic arts!
- I'll finally be able to LEARN and IMPROVE my acting in a scholarly setting. Playmakers aside, Drama classes thus far in my life have been either an opportunity to just goof around and be funny or sitting at a desk in disbelief of the fact that I know MORE about what my teacher is teaching than they do. Sure its been ALOT of fun and there will be some fun in University classes, but moreso I'll get to learn and grow... which i enjoy!
- I'm going to be part of this elite, small class of aspiring actors... i'm going to make new friends and be able to discuss theatrics with classmates; something that at St. Anne's there was not alot of... Apart from you guys, people would usually just stare at me with a blank face whenever i started on about shakespeare or other plays.
- I'm going to come out of this 4 year program a so much better actor (hopefully.. heh) if i can only dedicate and commit to learning.
Scary because:
- Frosh week. Ugh. I am not good at these stupid orientation things. Yes I want to meet new people, No I don't want to be forced into meeting them.
- Going to Windsor ALONE. I don't know ANYBODY thats going to Windsor. I know that Alex J. from Central is going, and I'm really excited to meet her because she was really good when I saw her at SEARS. But other than that... NO ONE. Nobody from St. Anne's, nobody. And Windsors pretty far from where all my other friends are going... I know I'll meet new people but it has always taken me longer than most to make friends. So the first couple of weeks are going to be tough.
So there you go. That's how I'm feeling.... really though, I'm too excited to care. ITs going to be great, but its coming up so soon!
Can't wait for Take it Outside, folks! I have it booked off work (and the next day too, just in case haha) so I hope to see all of you there too!

Frosh week is going to be fun. Especially since you're in arts.
Just get pissed and fuck everyone. Save the embarassment for when you realize that you're going to be in the same classes with them for 4 years. Or just don't be embarassed at all. That's the best part of being in arts. Or so I'm told.

Oh Eric, I can give you no wonderful advice for school, as I am a drop out. But I can say something about 'going for it'. You are someone who I think has come a miraculously far way from where you started...I remember rehersals when you were the sherrif, you were so stressed! Now you just roll on the scene with your bad-daddy attitude, pumping out the most heartfelt shakespeare the city of stratford has seen. And now...you go to uni. I can not wait to see how much further you could come along! It was an honour working with you on Hamlet and I know you will kick some ass in school! Lovah!! Jenn
