A Hint of Sorrow

In our Alice in Wonderland themed CORE project I play the Mock Turtle. He's a melancholy guy, but does introduce Alice to the magical world of dance. I have decided to forgo the sorrowful part of the character, but now I feel it's apropos.

I found out today that the new acting hire wants to mentor only the first year MFA actors. So, now I'm back in dilemma mode. I have already left Jade for Barbara and once Barbara announced she was leaving I tried to switch to Della. However as an actor in the program, I had to stay with someone in the acting faculty -- Jade, Peter or Barbara.

I did meet with Barbara for my independent study, but I also met with Jade once to talk more about the thesis. Needless to say she was little help. I requested a meeting with the 4 of us MFA candidates and the 3 faculty members. Barbara cannot join and Peter never responded so it looks like it will just be Jade. I fought for this meeting to make sure we were all on the same page. Jade finally agreed after a little coaxing from Barbara.

In any case, I am not looking forward to it. I am also not excited about selecting a new mentor or our CORE project, for that matter.

Is it Wednesday yet?

Wednesday I go for Mai Tai's with Melanie and go the UCD Film Festival. And then I get my haircut on Thursday and go on Lynne's boat in the afternoon.

Oh, and then there's a massage on Friday or Saturday...

Oooooooh, things to look forward to...
