Rainy Wednesday

I like being busy. No wait. That is an understatement. I love being exhaustingly busy to the point of meltdowns. Ha. Let me give you an example of a day in the life. Today, I got up nice and early to be at my yoga workstudy shift from 9-2:30. Afterwards, I booked a mani-pedi with a coupon I've been hanging onto for a while. Then I need to pick up my packet for Bike the Drive www.bikethedrive.org. Then I'm planning on going to the gym and running my slothy butt on a treadmill for 30 minutes. Tonight I have to go meet with someone who I will be catsitting for. Yikes! All good though.

All Good!

Time Check

Yikes. It's been a year since I've posted. Time for a 2011 update. Here goes:

A) Still work for the vet clinic-although of the late it has not been the pleasant experience that it has been in the past.

B) Decided to go back to school. If you know me you know that this is a huge endeavor and has been given much consideration. Much muchier consideration than before. I'm being vague so I don't jinx myself before I'm accepted into the program. Be intrigued.

C) I do a workstudy with a kickbutt yoga studio in exchange for more yoga class options than I could ever take. Happiness.

D) I have acquired an awesome black cat named Coco.

I'll try to be better about posting. I love all 3 of you readers!

Hello followers!

Hi. I haven't updated in a while and I thought that I should remedy that. I need to update the three of you on what has been going on with yours truly/ Well, to begin with, I have graduated from the Second City Improv program, concluded with a final performance that took place on May 1st. It went well, although lately I have been way too "in my head" during scenes and am trying to get back to when I didn't have to work so hard. I have also been auditioning quite a bit, and to my delight, I was chosen by ComedySportz to be on a summer rec league. I am very excited about this, because I love game-style improv. I know that improv people sometimes look down their noses at short form improv groups, but I think it takes just as much skill to perform this type of improv as opposed to the other stuff.

Exciting things are happening!

Plus, I got a bike! More news on that later!

February already?

I woke up this morning to some pretty heavy falling snow. We had a lull for a week or so and most of the snow had melted. This morning took care of all that. There is a fresh new blanket on the ground and it's still coming down pretty hard. It always seems to happen when I don't have to be into work until the afternoon. :)

I had a big audition this weekend that ended up going pretty well. Now I feel like I'm playing the waiting game to see if any of the companies are interested in me. I just wanna do a show, people!

I'll be in Florida in less than 4 days and I can't wait to catch up with all of my friends, see the parents, and see my CAT. :)

My birthday is in 6 days. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Actually, I'm still excited about birthdays. I love them!

Trying to update more often...

I'm a bit crap at updating on a normal basis, but I remain optimistic that it will become a habit. This year has started with me hurling myself into the Chicago theatre scene. I have already been on one audition and I have a rather large one scheduled in 2 weeks. It's exciting to be auditioning again. I am itching to be a part of a show again, particularly a play, but I'm open to other genres as well. I'm going strong in my improv class and have decided to tack on an acting class as well. It's focused around the Meisner method and is very interesting and has elements to it that are unlike anything I have ever attempted before. I know that in the short time I have been in Chicago I have learned so much and grown as a performer and I hope that this year continues to be formative in shaping some semblance of a career.

Also, what's with NBC throwing Conan under the bus?

Happy New Years...Eve!

Here's to my first New Years in Chicago! I'm headed to dinner shortly with my roommate Thom and a gaggle of his friends and then we're headed back to our apt for the champagne at midnight. Can't wait! I'm not usually a partier on New Years Eve, but I'm in Chicago so it comes with the territory.

It's gonna be weird getting used to writing 2010 on everything. I say this about every time a new year rolls around. Whateva!

I guess it's time to get on those New Years Resolutions!

Have a great night everyone!

what a weekend

My entire family was in town this past weekend for a pre-Thanksgiving get-together. It was great, since we won't actually be able to have Thanksgiving together. I played tour guide and made them walk everywhere(and I mean everywhere). Such is the Chicago way. I'm used to it, but I kind of forgot that out-of-towners may not be accustomed to all of the hoofing. By the third day, my parents were looking pretty lethargic. If I had to guess, I would say we walked about 10 miles total, give or take.

I'm pretty sure everyone had a good time and saw everything they were hoping to see. I am exhausted. I could sleep for 2 days now.

ZZZzzzzzzzzzz......
