So...I survived my first equity callback! The Lyric Opera here in Chicago is doing The Merry Widow and were looking for tall Grisette like dancers. So, I of course, auditioned and was reminded that this girl needs to get herself into a technique class like a month ago. I mean, I kept up but when you're going against dancers who can actually kick as high as their nose there are obviously better choices. I got through on the fact that I can sing...but I had to impress the director/choreographer to get their and I didn't. But that's okay! The last time I auditioned there I didn't even keep up with them! And it's a gentle reminder of 'get-thyself-to-dance-class"....or at least start stretching more.
I will say that I have been struggling with the number on the scale these last few weeks, I just can't seem to get it to go down. It's hard because I'm lower than I was at Disney so I'm hoping that my body mass is still within the athlete bracket but unless I go to a sports medicine doctor I don't think I'll find out that fact for a while yet. And while I preach don't worry about the number, I'm a little sick of the number. We'll see if I'll actually do anything to change it...I'm a great planner but not always the best follow through-er. (And yes, now through-er is a word...).
I get to go home and see my little brother graduate! Ah! I feel old! And also that makes the wedding even closer. Which is great! But I just need to make my list and check it twice to make sure I have everything.
Okay, enough venting. Time to get ready to go to work.
