It's official, I'm a bad blogger. It's okay, though. Sometimes, so much happens that you don't really need to write about it at that moment. There are other mediums.
Take social media, for example. Earlier this month was the NCAA Gymnastics Championships. For a whole weekend, every gymnastics fan was connected via #NCAAGym. We talked about how our favorites had their long-awaited victories (i.e. Kyla Ross winning the NCAA Balance Beam title and becoming an All-American in the all-around, Alex McMurtry doing Alex McMurtry things and winning the NCAA All-Around title outright, and more). We even Tweeted about our disappointments because our favorites didn't win or some seniors fell in their last ever routine. So much was packed in two to three days.
We gymnastics fans are still connected, what with the juicy drama surrounding Georgia, Illinois, and even Arizona. Basically, coaches are fired over situations being mishandled (UGA) and complaints (Illini) and we're not sure about Arizona. More to come, I guess.
In my personal life, I have been a busy bee. I'm in another murder mystery that opens in one WEEK! :D I am not nervous about forgetting my lines so much as I am excited to be performing again. It's really a passion of mine that I do want to pursue as a career. I just really need the right boost or opportunity to lead me in that direction.
I'm working on that. I am waiting to hear back about a cool internship in a nearby city at a children's theatre. It won't involve acting, but it's theatre. Theatre is more than just performance. It's arts administration, which was kinda my secondary concentration while in school. This job involves quite a bit of box office work, which I have been enjoying a lot.
I really hope I get this job. Honestly, for the past year, I've felt like I haven't lived up to my potential. I know life doesn't work that way, but with the many years of goal-setting and the whole build up to graduating, it is a slower start than I initially wanted. However, there are many positives. I have still been able to rent my own apartment, work at a job I actually like with some BA coworkers, and I still have time to be involved with theatre. My family and friends are still around, and I have more time with them.
We'll just have to see when certain chapters of my life will begin and when others will end. Until then, I still get to come home from and sprawl on the couch and watch Grace and Frankie as much as I want...unless I have rehearsal...and dinner...and sleep. Ah, adulthood.
