end of day 5

Last night in a hotel!
I think the audition went really wells this morning. There were 2 guys, they actually responded during my monologues. They asked about my improv experience, and what I thought my greatest asset theatrically is. I answered my versatility, being able to play any part. They seemed really nice. Then all of the auditionees went to an orientation where the department head talked about what the curriculum looks like, the different opportunities for students, etc. They're taking 16 newbies, 8 men & 8 women. They'll also have a short wait list of 5 or 6, should someone not take their spot, the department will call the person most similar to them from the wait list. They're looking to have a set of types, so if you're on the wait list, who gets called all depends on who dropped out.
If I make the class or the wait list, I'll get a call by the end of the month. That's also when they're able to let me know whether or not they can offer me full, half, or any financial aid.
The whole taxi situation worked out fine. The drivers were both really nice and very talkative. My birthday present from Adam was a shopping spree while on the east coast, unfortunately, there really weren't any shops in walking distance of the theater. Of the ones I saw that I was interested in, most were closed for President's Day. Oh well, it was the thought that counted.
So tomorrow, it's back on the plane to Columbus. From there, I'll drive back to Cassie & Marly's to spend the night and drive home on Wednesday. It's been fun, and apart from going back to work, I'm glad it's almost over. Now the waiting begins....
