"Something that is yours forever is never precious."

I forgot how much I love My Name is Asher Lev until last night, it's a beautiful book. 

We close tonight.

I'll cry a lot. Maybe you'll get a poem or something. Maybe you'll just get silence for a while. We'll see.

On a related note, though, I just found out I have auditions next Monday. Big ones. One of the classes I want to get into is only accepting 20 people, the other 15. And of those 15, 9 get to go on our big fun trip to the Shakespeare festival in Cedar City. It's a little terrifying. 

I have to memorize a dramatic contemporary monologue, a humorous shakespeare monologue, and 32 bars of a broadway song that furthers the plot of the musical. I also have to write a work resume, a play resume, and come with a headshot and sheet music (all printed).

On top of all this, there's also regular school, big tests, homework, trying to convince people I'm not a nerd, trying to get a couple jobs this summer, not die, keep my mental health alive, etc. etc.

Am I stressed?

Why, yes. How did you know?

Anyway, I'll be here pretty sporadically. If I poof for a bit, sorry. Hope you're all doing well.
