Day 146: Last Words [and auditions]


Day 146
Today, I need to decide what my last words will be.
I think I’ll quote Peter Pan: “To die will be an awfully big adventure.”
It’s really one of my favorite quotes, so why not?
Today starts with me learning that I did not get a callback for the audition I had on Monday. You didn’t hear about that then because Mike didn’t mention it, but I auditioned for the theater department shows—Bernard Alba and 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
I go to classes, and I learn that my first paper for food science—I mentioned a while ago I have to write a short paper weekly, right?—isn’t due till next week. So all the work I did on it over the weekend was for nothing. And it’s not like I can turn this in later, now that I’ve learned more about the papers, I realize the one I wrote is worthless.
The irony of this makes me laugh. And then sob.
At least my math class is easy today. We learn about Roman numerals. This is a numbering system I’ve known and understood for years, and most of my classmates aren’t getting it. I’m okay with that, I will be perfectly fine with an easy A.
Now, I’m just waiting till I go to another audition. This time, it’s for the Not Ready For Bedtime players—a group that does skits about sexual health. Their show is good, so being part of them should be fun. If I make it. I doubt I will.
I didn’t even get to audition. I just went there and the audition slots were already full.
So yeah, I just finished my crying over that. I really want to be part of something and I continue to lose out on chances.
Also, I just lost the game. There’s no one around right now to tell that to, so I’ll just mess with people in the future.
Hey, that might be fun to say as my last words.
Nah, I like the Peter Pan quote better.
Besides, I think Mike might’ve wanted to use those as his last words, so.

I'm over the auditioning thing now. I don't need to be in a show. It was fun in high school, and now, I have other interests. Writing, geeky sci fi stuff, this is where I'll be in the future.
And besides, geeky scifi stuff can lead to some acting. LARPing is fun.
