Well I guess we missed the mark...

Well today is the day.
It's THAT day.
You know, the one where it all falls apart.
That day where nothing, absolutely nothing, goes right.
It happens on every show.

It's bad for me on this one.
Real bad.

I don't like it.
I hate, hate, hate feeling inadequate and like I'm 12 and have no idea what's going on.

I'm supposed to go out in a year and a half and be an adult?
Get a job, grow up, be self sufficant?

How am I supposed to do that with any confidence whatsoever when I can't get through an academic show in one piece?

Not cool, not cool.

When I got back to Richmond from tour my sophomore year the very first person to talk to me when I got back was Liz. She saw me in the stage management office and sat down and asked me how everything was going, I just made a Shelley face, and she said, "It was easy wasn't it?" and I said "...Yeah, and I loved every second of it." And then we went on to talk about how everything at VCU is in some ways way more personally challenging than any other job you'll ever have.

You'll get lots of jobs when you graduate because college is stupid. College is of the highest quality theatre in this country. And college makes you believe that you need them to succeed. All you need to succeed is yourself, your common sense, and probably some really good friends.
