Reading and Classes
I usually like to equate being busy with making progress, so lately I have been feeling like I am on the right track and things are going to work out this summer. Which is always a wonderful feeling to have. On Tuesday, I got called in to be a reader before class, which we have established that I love to do. What was different this time was that I saw someone audition for the part that I auditioned for, only it was after I had already done mine, with no chance of going back and changing anything.

It is lucky that I have a mild case of OCD, because I really like checking items off my list, so things seem to be getting done. I have been back from Los Angeles for 2 weeks, and have already been on two auditions. The second one was Monday night, and I did the scenes 4 times, which I hope means they saw something…
