I Could Tell You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You

If you're my friend on facebook (which, I assume you are) you'll notice today's status (Posted July 14th).

"To preserve the magic" we were asked not to talk about our experience on any social networking site. So. I suppose I can't give all the details. But, I'll beat around the bush. (to borrow the colloquialism (to quote Eugene Meltsner))

Suffice it to say, it was another experience. I wish I could say it was a success. Alas, not this time. It's based solely on a very very particular look depending on what they're looking for at the time (We were given a general idea, but not a specific idea).

I was a little disappointed. I mean, I'd LOVE that job (at least for a season). But I sort of expected it. I knew it'd be a long-shot. And, how can I feel bad when no talent was involved?(later rounds did have a movement portion...but the first round....we were just looked at...and then told who would stay.) Easiest "interview to get an acting job" you'll ever do :)

5 out of 50 were asked to stay. 3 were of ethnic persuasion. Gives an idea of how specific they are.

No Dress Code

So I show up, in a dress. I start noticing people are walking in with dance clothes on, and I start to get nervous thinking I over-dressed. Thankfully I saw a few other girls also in dresses. Suffice it to say, there was a whole wide range of outfits there...it was quite amusing. Sweat pants to skinny jeans to sneakers to 4 inch tiny heels.

I did learn something though: Just incase....always bring dance gear. It's simply smart. Because there was rumors about learning a dance (hence why a lot were dressed like dancers), and I didn't bring my dance gear. I had my jazz shoes...but they'd look stupid with a dress. Their info mentioned "may be asked to learn small movement routine". So I figured whatever they'd have us learn would be easy to do in a dress. Like: walk like a "ssecnirp".

Anyway: Lesson learned: will always bring dance gear.

I'm Going to Disney World!

After one of our Bye Bye Birdie shows at Regent, we had a talk-back. One of the questions was directed at those of us who were graduating, wondering what plans we had after graduation. I was last in the line. Everyone had some sort of plan. I didn't have any plans. So to be funny I said "I'm going to Disney World!"

Turns out.... I am. God has a sense of humor.

Tomorrow I'm visiting the Park for the first time. And I don't mind saying, I'm excited. :)

What's the Point?

I've traveled 3,000 miles so far, been gone a week and a half. I'm at the half-way point. I know I haven't "booked" anything yet. I won't lie and say I haven't had my moments of discouragement. (comes with the territory) But I know God's got me here for a reason. And regardless, I'm gaining some experience, learning new things and having an adventure :)

I would ask prayers for the upcoming two... July 20th and 25th. They're closer to my type and I'd love to do either one.

In the meantime

I'm going to sleep. Long day tomorrow in the Magical Kingdom!! :)
