My anniversary weekend with Travis was altogether much too short - I was far too busy half the time to pay him adequate attention, and when I could do so, I was far too tired for it to be entirely exciting. He was, as always, the sweetest and most patient boyfriend one could ask for, and it's not hard to see why we made it so easily through two years together, and I fully expect plenty more to come. :-D
Tomorrow is my last day at Rose Costumes, and I'm not too thrilled. I'm extremely disappointed I was not selected to stay on, and I have to wonder what I did wrong. It's my dream job (as far as entry-level goes), and I don't know how I'll find that kind of workplace satisfaction anywhere else, anytime soon. I am at least happy that they didn't hate me, and therefore didn't fire me, unlike a certain other costume shop did last Halloween season.
Sunday marks the end of Drood as well, and I'll be sad to strike that set. It's been a good cast and crew to work with, and an enjoyable enough piece to perform. I'm looking forward to the cast party tonight.
I auditioned for Proof on Tuesday, and I did not even get called back. Another disappointment. Since I felt I gave a solid enough reading, I can only imagine that the director, whom I have known since childhood, either A) has completely written me off as a talented and/or dedicated actress, a feeling I got from her all through high school, or B) never intended to cast the role with someone so young. Or perhaps it was both reasons. Either way, it's been a bit of a struggle to soothe my bitter feelings.
And so, come Monday, with no Travis, no job, and neither show to rehearse or perform, I fear I may find myself quite down in the dumps. Just writing about it has made me a little blue.
However, I did finally put in my TWU application today, so hopefully I'll get accepted, and then will have school to look forward to. I need something.
