Holidays III

I'm not to sure what exactly I'm doing. I
am so attractive...

So this week has basically been about last chances. 

Last chances to sleep, to spend time with my parents, to play with my hamster, to go for coffee, to watch Netflix, you get the drill.

I also went to Niagara Falls with an old friend on a whim and met one of his childhood friends. It was fun, and I froze. That said, we also played Cards Against Humanity: Canadian Edition and I met a bunch of guinea pigs and cats, which was super fun. 

OH! I'm dumb! I also applied to school. Which is terrifying, and really REALLY expensive. Plus, most schools charge for an audition which is going to make this even worse, but so far, my rough estimate for application and audition costs is $860, PLUS some things need to be couriered to schools ahead of time, along with, for sure, 5 trips to Toronto to audition. So I'm basically paying $1 000 in the hopes that somewhere, a panel of adjudicators thinks that I have enough potential to invest 4 years of effort into. 

I think I need a drink...

(On that note, if you want to donate to Brittany's Audition Fund or the Brittany Needs a Drink Trust you can usually find me crying in my dorm, or in class.)

Holidays II

after ringing in the New Year at Nathan Phillip
Square.

Second week of holidays was AWESOME. 400km in 32 hours by car, foot, GO bus, subway, transit bus and train all to make a giant circle to get back to where I started. And it was totally worth it. I went to Toronto and got in some fireworks, subway adventures, streetcar rides, froze my butt off and ate stale brownies and Zoodles, but it was totally awesome.

Holidays I

Me, Matt, Staci, Shane and Terrence at our Christmas. We planned 

last minute, so most people couldn't show.

So it's holidays, I've done nothing and it's. Been. GLORIOUS. Sleep and Netflix interspersed with hanging out with friends, going out for breakfast with my brother, Christmas shopping and work.

It's been awesome. I've actually gotten to see my best friends from home, my friend from the army is home, and I've been able to see some of my friends from Waterloo. It's been really nice.

I've kind of been doing the Christmas thing this year which has been strange for me. I haven't done it in so long that I kept having these weird moments of "Have I forgotten how to Christmas?" which, judging by how much I've been sleeping, I've forgotten how to human.

As much as I love seeing old friends, I feel like I'm suffocating in Elmira. I've been taking on random, arbitrary tasks for the last few weeks to combat the feeling of uselessness, and unproductivity. It's been strange for me to feel like this. I feel homeless, because I can't just call it a day and head back to Oakville, I'm HERE till the 9th.

I'm excited to see everyone, and get cracking on semester 2. We've already started to get our rehearsal times for Georgia, and Sweeney Todd auditions on January 10th. I can't wait to get back into the swing of life and DO things again.
