Long Day

Today, I was supposed to work from 10:30-7:00. Didn't happen. I told my office that I had to be at FSU "general auditions" from 9:30 til 7:00 or so, and I'd work after that. When I got to the auditions, I was told that call backs for the show I'm Assistant Directing were scheduled for 7:00 tonight. OK. Guess I can't work.

I said earlier that I might need to quit my job. I said, "If a faculty member says 'Can you be here tonight at 7:00?'" I need to be able to do that. Well it happened tonight- and classes haven't even started yet. But it happened, and will continue to happen. So I have to quit my job and be a traditionally-poor grad student. I hate to give up the money, but I was SO HAPPY all day today- back where I belong. And that's even with being at auditions from 9:30 this morning till 11:20 at night.

I'm so excited about this school and all that I'll be doing. It's not what I expected. It's so much more. There's a reason FSU is one of the top directing schools in the country. I'm so happy- and so lucky. :)
