I start school tomorrow. It will be the first time i’ve called myself a students since May of 2006. My classes aren’t too bad, but it might take a few days for me to get used to being in class and taking notes and studying. I hated school until i was out of it for so long, now i’m excited to go back. I actually miss learning new things and taking notes and feeling productive. It’s been a while since i’ve done something to be really proud of. So now i have something to work for. Sitting out a year was difficult at first, but now i’m grateful. Now i realize how important it is that i attend every class, copy all the notes, study enough for every test. I think i’ll be a good student this time around.
Class starts Wednesday. Auditions are Thursday night. To say that i’m nervous is a major understatement. Last night a few friends came over so we could go over our monologues and give feedback. There were 3 people in the room, and i was shaking with nerves. This isn’t my first time to perform, why am i so nervous? It’s been 2 years since my last performance. 2 years since my last rehearsal. Everyone will have a slight edge on me, but i think after last night my confidence has grown tremendously. I’ll be fine. I’m excited about it now. Still nervous as hell, but excited.
One of the few people i actually knew from Southern before i got here was Shelby. Saturday night, shelby invited me to go with her friends to see Superbad. Never before have i felt so uncomfortable in my chair while watching a movie. It was so funny, but so vulgar and disgusting. 2 hours of sex, booze, and disturbingly funny artwork. If you don’t care for obscene comedy, stay as far away from Superbad as you can get. If you can handle it, don’t wait another minute.
