You may have noticed that it’s been over six months since my
last post on this site. If you found
yourself checking back in every once in a while only to find that nothing had
changed … I’m sorry for the disappointment which must have followed.
Many factors played a role in my online disappearance, but two stand out as the most impacting:
- My social anxiety got the better of me. It was fun to write posts and design my site while I knew no one was watching. However, when I finally started to advertise and get some readers … I freaked out and ran away. As one of the many steps to overcome this stupid anxiety, I’m back and ready to write! Come at me, readers!
- Second semester happened. The curriculum at AMDA is designed to steadily become ten times more difficult and intense with every semester. I found myself drowning in rehearsals and paperwork for the first six weeks before I could finally climb on top of things. With my ten regular classes plus four extra-curriculars piled on top, I unfortunately neglected Little Me.
I wrote a lot during my hiatus in fits of inspiration, but I
never got around to editing and arranging them past the raw, disconnected
ideas. You’ll probably see ideas from
some of these past articles as I get myself back into the swing of things.
6 Months in a Nutshell:
- I successfully completed second semester with an A in
every class (okay, some of those were
A-) which boosted my morale tenfold!
The Process of Performing - I made my way back to
- I got a job with KinderCare as an Assistant Teacher,
which was probably the best decision I could have ever made! I realize now that it is actually possible to
love your job, even if it’s not acting.
- I won a national figure skating competition three weeks
after coming back! No one expected that
one. I am also preparing for a local
competition and a regional
competition before I go back to
- I am always saying my final goodbyes to something or someone during "The Last Summer" as I like to call these four months in between the spring and fall semester. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster.
You will see more from me soon, I promise. I've got lots of pictures and stories I'd love to share with the world! If only I can get them out of my head and into a Word Document ...
All My Love!
Little Me
