Catch-Up

Doesn't everyone love a good catch-up post!?  I sure know I do!  (Please note the bloggy sarcasm...lol)  Here's the deal, in all reality I do indeed love a good catch-up post, but what I love even more is blogging consistently so that it doesn't feel downright overwhelming to blog.

This past semester has been complete and utter insanity.  There is truly no other way to describe it.  The semester started with me getting a new job.  I was hired as a Secretary for the Dean of the Division of Arts and Sciences at the JC I go to, but along with some administrative changes at the school, my job is also changing, just to what exactly I still don't know...all I know is that I've been told that I do have a job.  I still work at the Wingy as a Team Leader, but not very often (for the past couple months only on Thursday and Saturday nights).  I'm going to pick up MANY extra shifts over Christmas break however.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my new job doing administrative things!  It has been really interesting and fun to see the inner workings of business and academia

Auditions for the jc's production of Stephen Sondheims Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street were held on the first night of the semester.  Upon arriving I was informed that the pianist for auditions had flaked out on them and was there any way that I could accompany everyone for auditions!?  BAH!  *Commence freakout now.*  Lol.  It was slightly insane, and while I managed (if you can call it manage...probably more like muddle) to make it through it was definitely frustrating.  Anyway, I ended up being cast in the show as TOBY!  This has been one of my dream roles for forever, but I never thought I'd get it because of age!  I'm forever indebted to the director of the show for giving me the opportunity.  There could have been several posts just about Sweeney, so I won't go on too much longer, but I just need to say what an amazing opportunity it was.  I developed so much as an actor and as a singer, as a performer.  I made amazing friendships and rekindled some old ones. I will always love that role; I will always love the memories.

 And here it is MARCH, and I still haven't finished this "catch-up" post, so I'm just going to post it for what it is...hahaha.  Sorry folks!
