two more weeks

two more weeks of this semester and then i eat, breath, sleep, and sing west side story until the end of February.
Thanksmas was good. Santa indeed made it to the McCrary house early for us. He usually doesn't make such exceptions but we come from an extremely long line of people on the Nice List so how could he not. He did get a little confused with my wish list but he did leave receipts so it all worked itself out in the week to follow. But I did get some picture frames and loads of soft warm socks that make me happy. No Snow Globes for my collection but there's always next year.
I think my least favorite gift was my visit from the tooth fairy's distant cousin, the lesser known puke fairy. I was hitting the Porcelein bowl every hour on the hour from around 7 am to 2pm, totally missed indoor skydiving and after christmas shopping and hanging with the family and the munchkin. It totally put a damper on everyones Thanksmas but i recovered intime to make a flight early on monday morning to go to my 930 dance class and rehearse for our final performance. It was totally rough but I'm a trooper.

This week was the week my show went up, not W.S.S. but my other one. It was called Hearts and Souls and it was a new musical using already written songs like, A Whole New World from Aladdin and Money from Cabaret. I did a lot of dancing and singing and got some laughs. The show went really well for being written produced and directed by students and everyone in the Audience seemed to enjoy it. My Boss Estelle gave me the best advice/compliment. she told me after i graduate i need to get in some dance classes as much as i can and work my technique because she thinks thats where ill make my money and that's whats gonna get me cast. This is from the same women who told me not to become a dance minor three years ago because i need to focus on acting, so im flattered, (of course it means my acting and singing arent strong enough but dancing is a lot more fun than those things anyway so i choose to ignore that)
Also, my brilliant and beautiful friend Chie's choreography was so much fun to do and last night she told me that I was so good and I make her choreography. That totally meant a lot to me. I am feeling really good about being here in Chicago and doing what im doing right now. I need to put my best foot forward now so I keep getting cast and then hopefully i never have to go back to the Melting pot ever again. (I havent had to work in 3 weeks and I'm a much happier person)
I dont care if I'm poor, my happiness is a lot more important to me than paying my phone bill on time. And Nobody should have to work at a place and for people that make you hate life for 8 to 10 hours every Friday and Saturday night.
Shout outs to Grando Lana, Congrats on being the first McCrary kid to get an A on a paper since Myra was in school.

Womb to Tomb

Alrighty folks the verdict is in, I got the role of Riff in West Side Story. I have already been told that I need to bulk up so it's a good thing we have a free gym at Columbia. This show is gonna be flippin sweet. I get to sing and dance and fight and i even get to die at the end of the first act so i just get to hang out the whole second half of the show.
Life is pretty cool right now, except now is when I really have to put my best foot forward and work my butt off.
and especially tonight I have to put WSS aside and get myself together for tomorrow, tomorrow we have a suprise guest auditioner coming to our class and we have to audition for this person and we dont know for what show, its just a general audition for a known theater guy in Chicago so I have to do a good job so If I ever audition for this person again outside of school they'll be able to say "I remember you, your hired!"
so yea... pretty excited. And, I'm finally in a show with my friend Sam yay!
Shout outs: Dad (cant believe you went skydiving without me) Mom, Grando, the Langfords, Jesse and A.J.
