Sooooo.... Stress. Why not?: A Weekend Story

Egad, that was a looooong weekend. Ridiculous.

• On Friday, we had auditions in the theater, starting at 5:40 and ending at 10. We then spent another 2 hours figuring out how to call back the people we wanted. I narrowly avoided having to share a callback time with the one guy in class I despise, and got to share instead with a close friend. Afterwords, the six of us who are close friends and in the class together had a quiet Post-Audition Hootenanny, consisting mainly of imbibing alcohol and bitching about auditionees. I went to bed very pleasantly tipsy.
  
• On Saturday, I went to brunch and worried about callbacks. Then I walked to the library and printed stuff out and worried about callbacks. Then I went to the theater and worried about callbacks. My callbacks went off pretty well, concidering that out of the three guys that were supposed to show, one did. All of the girls did too. Eep. My friend Amanda and I had a reconciliation in the hall (we hadn't been speaking for about three weeks), and she offered to read with people in my audition as a favor, even though she wasn't called back.
  
• Went to the Parent's Weekend Children's show. Really adorable, Winnie the Pooh "Why Tiggers Don't Climb Trees." It made me smile.
• Went to my room to seethe a bit over the guys who hadn't shown up and played some violin. Called and emailed people to find out when I could call them back so they could come. Went to dinner, and saw one of the guys who had blown me off earlier, and seethed a little more. One the way out of Stimson, I hear someone running behind me, and then I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see same guy. "Margaret W? I don't know if you remember me, but my name is Charlie C, and you called me back for your show. I just got the email you sent this afternoon to ask why I wasn't at the callback, and I realized you must not have gotten the email I sent last night asking if we could arrange for a Sunday callback time. I reeeeeeally embarrassed about this...." It was entirely adorable, and we arranged a callback time there and then.
• Went to Jen's callback, and had a fun time reading for people that hadn't shown up to hers. On the way to preparing a reading, I ran into Allison, my advisor, in the hall, and she asked me to help her hang lights on Sunday. Since I was going to be in the theater all day anyway, I said yes.
• Went to an a cappella concert, and had a fun time. Reverends Rebels, the all female group, did a really good job.
• Sunday, from ten in the morning until midnight, was spent in the theater, doing callbacks, tech, and helping Allison hang and focus lights. Very, very fun, and also stressful beyond belief. Beddy-byes at 1.
