Last night I stayed up to see the very first Miss Rhode Island be crowned Miss USA. She brilliantly answered her final question, that there was no doubt in mind she would win. CONGRATS! Call me crazy, but since losing this weight, I am actually considering entering the Mrs. Rhode Island pageant. I think it would be fun. It's a very small consideration ....
Saw my Monday kids for the first time in 4 weeks. They were super excited to see me. Too bad next week is my last week with them. And what's with this weather? It's June and I am freezing. I was wearing a long sleeve shirt and sweatshirt in my classroom and was still cold. New England weather, I do not like you right now. Because of all the rain we have had, I came back to a classroom with water dripping all over my piano. I called for help with the cleanup but before they could even come to the rescue, the tile collapsed all over my floor, which made even more of a mess. Thankfully, no kids were anywhere close when this happened. And what's more? I was told today that grades are due Thursday. I have 800+ students and was really hoping to have the weekend to get all of that done. Change of plan I guess.
Taught a couple voice lessons when I got home - one of which is a new student. This is the first time I have been able to present a "Voice Studio Policy" and contract at the first lesson. It went very smoothly and she even decided the pre-pay plan would be the best choice. This will work for sure. I am pleased.
Today, according to the audition announcement, is what should be the first day of 'Titanic' rehearsals, so I must assume they decided not to cast me. That would have been fine if the director hadn't said to me "You are definitely called back" and then asked me to prepare a monologue for the callback. I heard nothing after that. Not even a callback. So, this is all strange to me and a little disappointing. I am getting really discouraged when it comes to my theatrical career. Perhaps I really am supposed to take a break or just give it up all together. *sigh* Please tell me it gets better.
It will get better. I promise.
ReplyDeleteI've been missing you like MAD lately, Phyllis. I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep up with your blog here, but I've barely been able to keep up with my own crazy life.
However, I think about you and talk about you often, and was just in Baltimore and missing you very much, wishing more than anything that we could be hanging out again.
We will, sometime this year, I promise.
I'm extremely happy for you that you've finally found your perfect guy. I may or may not have found mine, only time will tell. Regardless, know that things in your life will get better and your Purple Sister is thinkin' about ya.
