I just came home from a long and tiring (a bit) rehearsal for the production of “The Sound of Music” that I am in. It’s really nice to be in a show. For the first time in a really long time I am just really content with being in a show and enjoying myself. I used to worry about the b.s. that a lot of performers worry about, does the director like me, am I popular among the cast? Stuff like that. In the end, it is not what matters. What matters is that I have the honor of being able to be part of a production of this beautiful and classic musical and in whatever capacity I can I am going to make it lovely.
That is what I truly feel.
Otherwise what do I feel?
I ‘m sorry for neglecting you, blog. I have not written in awhile, (not that I have any readers), but if I did, I apologize for neglecting you.
So, for those who don’t know “The Sound of Music” that well, here is a youtube clip to remind you of what I am talking about.
The song that they are singing in the youtube clip is “Edelweiss”. I remember my brother doing this show in high school and singing such a moving rendition of it that it brought his friend’s father to tears. Mind you, Andrew is not a great singer, perhaps this guy was just very sentimental. Who knows. Anyway, it is a beautiful show. I will write more later regarding what I have been up to, but let me do a brief summary for those who care, or just for my own edification.
Why My Week Has Felt Like The Longest Week of the Year
10. I went to a thanksgiving feast and it is not thanksgiving yet.
9. Yet another bomb threat occured at MSU.
8. It was Pierre’s birthday but I couldn’t spend the day with him because I was too busy. Sad.
7. I now know lots of back roads in Essex county.
6. I’ve decided that frozen ww meals are really convenient.
5. I’ve been waking up before 7:30 a.m. every morning, which is not usually a sign that i’ll be functional for me.
4. I have a brazilian aristocrat for a professor (i just discovered that)
3. I realized i’m not as tech savvy as I thought I was (and that scares me when it comes to projects and such)
2. I found yet another way to get stuck in MSU traffic.
1. I have looked forward to sitting and crocheting and spending time with my fiancee this whole week. Seriously, like one looks forward to Christmas, or the New Year.
more to come. ..
