Hello Stage 9!

So yesterday was such an awful/great day. I've been stressed about it knowing that I had to:
a.) Audition with prepared material for Carol and Blossom at Stage 9
b.) Let go of my current theatrical and commercial agents
c.) Tape a prepared scene in Dee's class

Well everything went just peachy. I felt great about my audition for Stage 9, where I did a heavy, emotional scene which Blossom seemed to really respond to. She was telling me how nice it was that I could act, 'cuz there are a lot of pretty faces out there who can't. After the audition, Blossom and I talked for almost an hour, about the business, their past successes and what they'll be doing for me. Was great. Felt really good going out of there. Madonna confirmed at class later that Blossom, in fact, LOVED me! Yippee! Dance of joy!

Meeting with other agents to let them go went about as well as could be expected. Although in some ways I feel like I've wasted a year being with that theatrical agent, I really can't harbor any ill-will towards him as I could've left at any time since I wasn't under contract, and it was a learning experience (Lesson: KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO! Even when they're telling you to stay - my heart knew it was time to go 6 months ago.). Commercial agents were cool. I gave one of 'em a hug. No tears in anybody's eyes, mine included - another sign I should've left months ago.

Dee's class ROCKED!!! Everyone was especially good last night, including me (heh, heh.). A couple of people told me it was the best work they'd seen from me. Cool. Love that class.

Was so high from the stress combined with the happy ecstacy of the day that I didn't sleep well and am totally tired today at work. I don't think I've had a good night's sleep since sometime last week. Gotta fix that. Maybe tonight, although I have to stay late here at work tonight to make up for the time I took off yesterday. Poop.
