I'm excited and scared for SETC. I've been looking at the list of all the summerstocks that are going to be there, and I've made a shortlist of the places I'd like to go the most. Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival, Santa Fe Opera, and Glimmerglass Opera are just a few. It might be wishful thinking to try for Santa Fe, but one can dream, I suppose.
I have A resume done, but I have no idea if it's good enough to send out. I have a meeting with my advisor on Tuesday to sort it out and get tips on how to make it better. I'm also trying to put together an online portfolio so that I can send that out with the resume. Hopefully it will give employers a taste of what I've done and what I can do before we get to the conference...
Or maybe I won't send the link. I haven't decided yet. Either way, I need to start thinking about putting this stuff together. I'm going to need an online portfolio SOMEDAY, and I figure if I start now I'll know the ropes later. I should probably focus on my ACTUAL portfolio for right now, though. So far I just have the one I put together for OVST, and there is no way that thing is going to get me a job at SETC. Kjersten was kind enough to GIVE me an old portfolio of hers to start out with. All I need to do is fill it with pictures of my work and I'll be set. Now, if only I knew how to do it without making it look like a scrapbook...

It's 3AM.
SETC (South Eastern Theater Conference) is coming up in March. It's one of the biggest theater conferences in the country, and I need to find a summer job there. I'm nervous as hell about this because I've never had to shop myself around like this before.
Basically, I'll run around a convention room going from table to table and holding five minute (maybe less) interviews with different summer stock theaters. I'll have my resume and my portfolio, and I'll basically just have to talk about how awesome I am for that time. I'm really praying that the Ohio University School Of Theater reputation really comes through for me. I really have no idea how I'm going to get a job based on me alone at this thing.
I just spent the last hour or so filling out an application for the conference and the JCS (Job Contact Service), which was confusing as hell. I have to wait for my reference to write something positive about my skill set before I can send my application in and pay them $135 to find me a job. I feel like this is more trouble than it's worth sometimes.
On the bright side, my octopus drawing I've been working on for days is nearly finished.

I love Ghostbusters.
I love Ghostbusters. Probably more than any human being should. That's why the colours and title of my blog now reflect that. The aim of this blog is still the same (avoiding doing real work in favour of writing my thoughts in a box), but the package is shiny and new and awesome.
Speaking of avoiding doing stuff, I actually haven't written anything in quite some time. It seems like all my friends are jumping on the bandwagon again, though, so why the hell not.
Since I last updated I have started working at Pita Pit, finished a quarter of school, decided to take a quarter off, gotten mono, and I am now the ASM for Ohio University's production of Marisol. I also became a burlesque dancer/pin-up girl over winter break. Yes, many fun things have happened, my friends. I have a new computer (my laptop had an accident, which is part of the reason I haven't blogged in so long), I have a webcam for the first time in my life, and I also have a TV in my room! I've never had that before! It's awesome! I almost never have to leave my room for anything now!
I sound like a weird, anti-social skeeze, but that's not it at all. I'm just lazy.

Careful, my bones.
So, surprise surprise, I sprained my ankle again the other day.
Also surprising is the fact that it healed fairly quickly even though I didn't do much to help it along.
So I looked up what a sprain actually was on Wikipedia. I find it strange that I've never done this before, considering I've actually sprained the same ankle at least four times in the past three years (that I can remember).
Apparently (and luckily for me) I've only ever suffered a second degree sprain. As painful as a second degree sprain is, I don't even want to imagine having a fifth degree sprain.
So I guess I'm dragging out the therabands again. Whoo hoo for feeling like a ballerina. :D

Best Buy Doesn't Carry Anything I Need.
I FINALLY GET TO GO HOME! I FINALLY GET TO SEE MY ROOMMATES! I FINALLY GET TO GO BACK TO ATHENS! OH MY GOD YES!
This whole car ordeal has gone on long enough. It took the guy at the Sheriff's office a week to file the accident report. They finally faxed it to my mom today after she pestered it, and when we got it it was a 9 page FORM. All he had to do was fill in the bubbles and attach my written statement to it. Seriously.
The good news is, I can finally leave Gallipolis. The bad news is, I still don't really have anything to occupy my time with until I start at Pita Pit, which could be god knows when. Hopefully soon, like next week or the end of this week. I sure hope so.
