Updatey Thing

Well. It's been a really long time since I updated. Over a month. March just absolutely flew by, and I didn't realize that it was gone, before it was gone. Not to mention that my blog is still really not on the forefront of my mind. So I decided tonight that I am going to to do Blog A Lot In April. It may end up being BEDA, minus the first few days I've missed, but who knows.

Since I last updated, I haven't found much more balance between IRL and Internet. I've resigned from the HPA, I don't Tumbl like I used to, and I'm hardly on Skype. I do Tweet a lot, but...it's not quite the same.

I am, surprisingly, not regretting my decision to resign from the HPA. It's really hard to admit that even to myself, let alone write it out in a public forum where anyone can read it, but it's true. It's let me focus on myself more, which I needed. I still miss the staff like crazy, but it was the right decision. Until I get in a better mental state, I need to keep focusing on me.

I've also been spending a bit more time with friends outside of the theatre program, which has been nice. Tensions have been high within my class for a while, I think we're all getting a little sick of each other. But even so...I just worked what could possibly be my last ever main stage show with my classmates, and it's really bittersweet. I'm glad it's done, but it's weird to think that I may never ever work on Mainstage again. It's been like a second (or rather, third) home for me the past two years. I stage managed my first show there. I designed my first show there. Hell, I worked my first show there.

A lot of these type of thoughts are going through my mind right now as school is wrapping up. It's weird to think that in a few short weeks, I will no longer be spending endless hours in 222 working on projects. I will no longer spend hours in the shop working, or just hanging out. I won't be able to just wander into Carrie or Nancy's office to see how they're doing. It's...sad. And weird.

I haven't heard back from the U of A or U Vic yet re: design school. Did I write about that yet? I don't know. But I have applied to both schools for the Theatre Design programs. I think I should hear back in the next couple of weeks. *fingers crossed*

Speaking of design, I'm currently designing the set/costumes/lights for "Waiting" by Ethan Coen for Carrie's design class. It's awesome, but I am procrastinating so hard on it. Like I said, little to no motivation. This week I have to get something done on it. (I'm writing it down so hopefully it'll happen....)

So...that's this updatey thing! I will have a real blog post tomorrow.
