A Belated Update

The show closed on Sunday, almost a week ago. I actually went to the closing party, where I finally got to talk to some of the actors. I still felt out of place because I hadn't bonded with them as a fellow actor during the run of the show. I don't want to let that happen again, so I need to get my ass in gear for my mega-audition at school. I know, talk is cheap, but whatever.

I also got paid, and after depositing the check (cheque? or is that only how Brits and Canadians spell it?) I immediately spent it on a new video camera, which should be arriving next Thursday. I may or may not make another video before then. We'll see.

The past two days my life has been free of parents because they were off doing other things. Yesterday I was completely home alone all day (why didn't I take that opportunity to make a video? Oh, right, because I'm lazy.) and today I spent the day with my sister while our parents went on a hike in San Francisco. We each had half a pie and most of a can of whipped cream. I really hope I have time to exercise tomorrow.

It just sank in that I ate half a pie today, in the span of about three hours. Oh my god. I am such a glutton.

Totally Fine and Banking Bonanza

I really didn't need to panic so much... After my Zen lost all charge, I just plugged it in to charge it and it turned right back on fine. I didn't lose any music or anything. I'm listening to it right now. What I do need to do is put all my music onto my computer, especially the albums I don't own. I should do that, like, now...

Today I set up my bank account for college. With my mom, of course. I don't think I'm ready to handle that kind of thing on my own yet. But it was exciting, and now I have a checking account, as well as a brand new savings account! Whoop-de-doo!
But seriously, we spent exactly two hours at the bank setting it up, and it was really boring apart from the me-now-having-access-to-money-and-my-own-credit-card part. But for my own good, I really shouldn't touch any of that money until the quarter begins in September. 'Cause, y'know, it's for school. Tuition and housing and stuff. And I kind of need that.

Before the whole being-at-the-bank-all-day thing, I finished reading Paper Towns. I absolutely love that book! And I just happen to look pretty much exactly like Margo Roth Spiegelman as she is described in the book (blue eyes, kinda curvy, bony fingers, and my hair could very easily become short and chestnutty with bangs). So I need to be sure to find out about auditions for the screenplay that I hear John Green is writing. Consider that a note to self.

It finally feels like summer to me. It didn't while I was on my trip in the mountains. But now it does. And I am enjoying it ^^
