Home Again

I am officially back at home from GSW.

Yesterday was heart wrenching... But it still hasn't hit me - the true realization that Governor's School is over.

In our 6th week, we didn't end up working on fairy tales. We were actually given a 'neutral scene', that ran as follows:

A. Well
B. Well. What
A. Nothing
B. Okay. Please-
A. Excuse me
B. Yeah
A. So
B. So
A. So
B. Come on
A. What?
B. Quit it
A. Quit what?
B. That
A. Better?
B. Yeah

So yeah... pretty neutral. Then we got partners and read it with them and ended up creating scenes based around that text. We had sibling fights, a 'silent film' type thing, romance... and for mine, I was a heroine addict and my sister was trying to get me to stop doing drugs. Yeah. Intense!
We worked on those for a day and a half and performed them informally the next night.

Anyways... back to home. Gov School is over! I can barely believe it. I will surely believe tomorrow though, when I'm unpacking all of my stuff. Oi vey.

On a similar note- I've been in 'freak out about college' mode since I got back home.
I just want to get it 'out of the way' before heading to NCSA in about 3 weeks. I'd rather do this process with Nonnie now instead of by myself later. But man... there are so many colleges! And it doesn't help that I don't really know what I want to go for. haha. Theatre seems like the 'duh' answer, but... I'm just scared of the possibility of turning into a starved artist.

I've got a list of potentials as of now, ranging from safety schools to reaching for the stars:
NYU, Emerson College, UVA, Chapel Hill, Penn State, Elon University, SUNY Purchase, Yale, UNC Greensboro

My goal is to get an educated list of about ten schools, then mark down all of the requirements and application dates. And... work from there.
This is so excruciating!

Well, I'm exhausted. Time for sleep.

much love,
