I feel like I've got so much going on at the moment.
Kristin had her last day of work on Friday, so that's another employee down (tally: 5). Also, Ann's gone on holiday for the next two weeks so for the time being we'll only have one full-timer in the entire store (poor Jodi). This really blows, because I hate work enough without it being severely handicapped by the fact that the staff they hire being inexperienced kids that management couldn't be fucked trainingproperly at all.
My auditions for university are creeping up on me. I've been reading as many plays as I can get my hands on from the suggested audition pieces lists that the university provides, but I still haven't made decisions on which ones I'm going to do. And I'm so desperately obsessed with the idea of going to university that I really need to start making these decisions and getting ready because I honestly don't know how I'll cope if I'm not doing SOMETHING next year.
Cassie dropped a small bombshell on me by saying that Ralph mentioned to her that he's thinking of moving out, something that I was not expecting and am trying not to think about to much. I honestly don't know how I'd function here without him. I've been living with him for two years now. I guess it was stupid to think that'd we'd live together so long after we broke up, but I thought because we were on the track to becoming good friends in might be for awhile longer.. But that is something I'll just have to deal with when it comes to that. Who knows; if it doesn't happen anytime soon and I get into university, I might be jetting off to Sydney in February or into a share house closer to uni, or.. something. Lots of possibilities.
I've made it my goal for this week to exercise for half an hour every morning, both on my stationary bike and doing crunches.
Unfortunately I still haven't heard back from my audition, but I hope the girls have just been busy... Since I became a part of BAN (Brisbane Actors Network) I have been e-mailed SO many possibilities. And apart from those e-mails, I've heard that a production company in Brisbane is doing "High School Musical". While I've never seen it, I'm will, and then I'll audition for it. I need as much audition practice as I can get. Getting a role is an added bonus. XD
[edit] I forgot I'd posted about my interview with AAMI. Got a rejection e-mail yesterday. I was relieved! I keep swinging back and forward with my job dilemma. I mean, I hate it. It's going to get worse and worse. But seriously, what other job can I get at the moment with a minimum of 30 hours a week that will allow me to do my auditions and leave in February? I have an interview with David Jones on Friday but I'm going to turn it down - a) because the woman was a bit of an insistent bitch about written references, even when I'm like "Look lady, my previous employers have always said that they will be PHONE REFERENCES. They wouldn't provide me with a written reference then, you think they'll do it now?? I don't think so!!" and b) because yeah, couldn't be fucked, really. If I'm going to leave, it has to be for a job that will let me work my ass off to get good money. Retail just ain't that!
I think that's all. Tomorrow I'm going to play soccer, which is pretty exciting.. Haven't done that since I was a kid!

Word of warning - Harvest Rain is a semi-professional theatre company. They don't usually LOOK at you unless you've done a hundred thousand million shows before. Their auditions are tough too *shudders at the memory*
Just a heads up.
I just desperately need audition experience so maybe if their auditions are really tough it will still be worth doing because I'll learn something from it (more than likely.. Well, I hope).
What did you audition for through them? How tough is tough? Because you're a tough cookie and it must have been something pretty stressful to get at you?
