In the past 3 days I've finished my job in Lanesboro, packed up my room, cleaned my room, said goodbye to a ton of people, got sunburned, saw some excellent drum corps, saw a fantastic production of Street Scene, and drank some great beer along the way.
I feel like a ball in a giant pinball machine. Some of it's fun and all. Other times it's a bit jarring and I've got figurative whiplash.
But now, I'm home in South Dakota. I'll be here for 10 days or so, consolidating all my junk and reading like there's no tomorrow.
I've been so behind on the Monster Reading List.
I did some breakthrough progress today already though. I've got my "week one" monologues close to all picked out. My audition pieces for the fall semester aren't quite there yet, but I've got some options that will suffice. I think an achievable goal is to have that finalized by Friday at the latest. This gives me a chance to read through some more plays in case anything grabs me. But then, it'll be time to live with what I've chosen and get them up to speed so that I can check more off my list that only seems to be growing exponentially.
There's paper work to sort out for becoming an employee with the U. of Houston (which has been a kind of dramatic process--details I'll spare). I'm going to be a teaching assistant this first year (which also means I can get faculty parking).
I also have to acquire a bunch of rehearsal/costume pieces. I'll no doubt be scouring the thrift stores of good ol' Sioux Falls for those items.
All that said, I'm not panicking, but there's no time to twiddle my fingers any longer (not that I have, but things have been a lit lax on the prep for school).
