When I talk to my Dad every weekend he always asks how the week went. “Good, but long and tiring,” I usually answer. I try to tell him about some of the auditions I went on, jobs I had, etc. but feel like every week is filled with so many different activities that its hard to really encompass it all in a phone conversation. So, I thought it might be interesting to blog everyday this week and give you a glimpse into a typical week here in the big apple!
I fell asleep Sunday night thinking about how this week was going to be a long one. I should have been more focused on actually getting sleep for the week ahead rather than trying to plan it in my head. Monday is usually a big audition day which means super early mornings. Unfortunately I had a matter I had to take care of at the post office first thing for my internet job. Luckily, I’ve made some great fellow actor friends over here and can rely on them to sign me up at the crack of dawn when I can’t make it myself. So I arrive at the post office at 8:00am sharp and spend 30 minutes trying to find out if a package has been delivered from Germany (ps- I hate the USPS in Brooklyn)! By 8:30 I’ve given up on the package and am on the subway into the city. The next part of the day was broken down as such:
9:00 – arrive at audition studio and thank my friends profusely for signing me up at 5am so that I’m number two on the list (more about the list to come)
10:00- Audition: (sing 16 bars) for Annie National Tour
10:05- realize I got done early enough to go home for a few hours and go to dance later instead of staying in the city all day. I hang around audition for a bit being indecisive and chatting with my friends
11:30 – get home, work for a few hours(internet job), take a 20 min powernap, take Zoka out for a quick run, re-get ready for the remainder of the day
3:30- leave house again
4:30- training session for the tutoring company I’ve been hired by, unfortunately tutoring won’t start till end of October
5:30- training session is over … debate whether or not I should go home or go to dance… decide to go to dance
6:00- stop by post office again and pick up supplies for work, then go sit at a coffee shop and do work for my internet job
7:30-9:00 theatre dance class (we learn a combination from Thoroughly Modern Millie so I’m happy I came)
10:00 – on subway home Mike and realize we’re both on the same train (yay)!
10:15- home at last! Begin preparing for another day: shower, pack suitcase of clothes for webisode that I am filming and audition in the morning, do work for internet job, eat dinner (I know its kinda late), Yay for Mike making my lunch to help me out
12:30- in bed at last … oh shoot, I have to get up in 4 hours! Luckily, I have no problem falling asleep very quickly tonight!
