8:32 PM:I can't believe it's the end of the semester. Like most things, it seems like time has flown by, but it also feels like the past three or so months have been the longest ones of my life. I've discovered a lot about why I want to act, and it made me get back to the essence of it: i'm an artist. Over the past couple of years I have been so invovled and consummed with the business aspects and angles of acting that I forgot about the artistic elements of my career. NYU does tend to ignore the practicalities of show business, yet it was amazing to be able to be surrounded by art and other artists. Which is what life in NYC is like for me. Almost every weekend I've been here I've seen at least one show, and I love that. My list of movies/theatre is still pages and pages long, yet I can't believe how much I've been able to see in these past few months.
If things were not hectic enough with my grueling studio days I managed to find time to audition for a few things, one being an independent film. The audition went very well I am guaranteed a role within the film. It's narrowed down between two, but I can't express how excited I am. The film may be independent yet there are several big name celebrities associated with it. As soon as I know more information I will pass it along. In this stage of the production things are all still very tentative, so I don't want to give away anything too soon. Ah, but life is crazy...and Lynn must agree. Her patients seem to be even more mentally ill than the norm. One woman decided her finger might make a nice treat, and chopped it off and ate it. I don't think I'll even go into the patient who had the "fetid crotch" story.... *shakes head*

The next five weeks are going to be a trial in keeping myself occupied. It's difficult to go back to life in the suburbs after you're accustomed to the New York Minute....
