I feel Famous...- September 5, 2013

Have you ever have one of those days where right after you wake up, something happens that tells you right off the bat that it's gonna be a great day?

That was today.

I woke up a little later than I wanted to, and still felt super tired and sleepy, but while I was going through my typical Internet rounds (email, Facebook, Youtube), a new episode of a Youtube show I watch caught my eye.

Youtube is my TV. I don't really watch TV shows, I have to decide and be in the right mood to watch a movie, but Youtube is quick, simple, and much more realistic to me, which I like.

Anyways, this one channel was called rhettandlink2. The two guys that run it are named Rhett and Link (as you could guess from the name). They run a show every weekday morning that they've just launched again called "Good Mythical Morning," which is basically their own version of a talk show.

Anyways, on their Facebook page a while ago, they asked for things they could give people advice on. I decided to respond, being a new college freshman, and because these two are funny and it would be interesting to see what they'd have to say.

This morning, this video caught my eye... Watch the first bit.

AAAAHHHHH!!!!
RHETT SAID MY NAME!!!!!!!!

I feel so famous!!!! This is seriously cool!!!!!

Ok, ok, I know some of you are going to be concerned about privacy and my full name on the Internet and all that jazz. But STILL!!! I feel so cool!!!!!

For the record, I am not related to Reba McEntire. :)
Or am I.... someone let me know if that's true!

So feeling absolutely ecstatic, I went off to meet up with a professor at the Thorton School of Music about voice lessons. The cost is a little steep, but she liked me and thought I had a good-sounding voice, so we're going to meet every other week. That's a bit cheaper, and clearly more easy for her, so I'm happy with it!

I had a longer break than expected after that, so I practiced for my audition again before going to my Text Studies Class. Hedda Gabler is getting really interesting! I can't wait to finish it, but I'm going to wait until after my discussion session tomorrow so I don't have an unfair advantage in the discussion.

Immediately after, I went to my acting teacher's office for her office hours, and she helped me with my audition monologues. Correction, she transformed my audition monologues. I have some habits I get into with monologues, I guess, but she really helped me straighten them out. It was wonderful!!!

I went after that to grab some really late lunch before my next class. Spanish is alright.

Walking back to my dorm from Spanish, I realized that that time of day, the early evening turning into sunset and the sunset, is my favorite time of day. It's beautiful and cool and fresh and lovely....

Anyways, I practiced for another hour and grabbed dinner from EVK. Dinner was really disappointing. I thought they'd have something I saw earlier in the day, but they didn't. I should've gone to the Campus Center :P

For the record, don't feed me pizza when I come home. I'm not sick of it, persé, but it is the food that got me through today...

Then I had my audition! It was really relaxed, and I think I did well. I certainly did much better than I would have without the help I got! I celebrated with cookies from Seeds :)

To end the evening off, I sat in the lounge... wanting to be productive, but I watched the 25th anniversary performance of Phantom of the Opera instead. I've forgotten how absolutely stunning that musical is!!!! I watched all of Act 1, then got ready for bed, and now I'm here.

Today's a good day. Please be praying still though: people all over the floor are getting sick. Yikes!!!

:) Fight on, friends.
