Little Fish.

Last night, I went to my Theatre, Film and Television department senior banquet at school. It was awesome that they had the senior banquet at this time in the year, as they were able to include those of us who were December grads. The banquet was such an amazing time to reminisce about my time at APU, and how much I have appreciated the theatre department. Moving to California to go to school was one of the best decisions I have ever made(my husband would second that if you talked to him). I had the opportunity to express my gratitude to my faculty and peers for what they have poured into me, and for their unending support and love.

Even though the banquet is probably just protocol for graduates or pending graduates, it was such a special time for me. I felt so incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to be sitting there, enjoying my time with my peers, knowing that in a week and a half I will be a college graduate.

As such, there are other things ending in my life. I have been taking a new acting class(not at school) for the last few weeks. This particular class has added some extra technique to my ability as an actor. Tonight will be the last class. Tonight will also be a mock network test---we have all been molding material from various TV Pilots, with the intention that we are pretending to audition to be a series regular. This has been an enlightening experience for me, as I have learned how I may bring excellence to an audition where there will be that much responsibility on my shoulders for the material. Can't wait... tonight should be fun. But, I'm not gonna lie---it has been a challenging class, and I am happy to have a break for a while.

These next couple weeks mark the end of being a "student" per se, but not the end of learning. With my schedule opening up to have the ability(in theory) to act all the time, I will be learning many new things. I know this is a new day opening for me. I am excited to see where it leads.
