Day 82

Wow, 82... hmm..

I have to admit my productivity has definitely increased within the past week. Not quite so many distractions and as school is getting closer (exactly a month away), I have my work cut out for me.

I received the reading list a couple of days ago and have begun to receive those books. I suppose I will add them to my book a week on here... which I have not kept up with, but will probably be able to fairly soon. I read a chapter out of each book that I've received today:

Singing and the Actor by Gillyanne Keyes
The New Music Theater by Salzman and Desi
The Actor and the Text by Cicely Berry

Although I am enjoying all of them (because I am a full-fledged geek), the most engaging and interesting to me has been Berry's. I almost feel like my journey to enlightenment (in a theatrical sense) has begun. There are things already that I agree and disagree with in these books, but at least they are thought-provoking enough for me to have an opinion? All this talk of theatre is getting me really anxious to get back out there and do it! I feel so stagnate this summer choosing to not audition for anything and just saving up money... which I don't by any means regret, it's just something I had to do.... London is not going to be cheap.

I've also gotten better about working out and have begun to start running again. Yesterday really reminded me how much I miss it. I suddenly felt ready to run another half-marathon. Wish I had the time cause I would sooooo train to run a full if I could. Hopefully I can kick my butt into better shape before school starts. Claire and I already have plans to do hot yoga and dance classes outside of school, so it'll be a very physical year for sure.

Working on Rosetta still. I was talking with Jimmy last night about it. I am SOOO much better at translating than speaking. Maybe it simply has to do with confidence?.. I dunno... I've already promised Sarah I would come see her in Berlin and Anna-Lena that I would visit her in Elspe... which means I would also have to go to Köln... cause well... I say that like I 'have' to...as in I wouldn't want to which is soooo far from the fact. I miss Köln. :( But...sidetracked, the point is, I would get to practice... if they will let me.. They always want to practice their English, so I will just need them to focus for me. lol.
