It was quite a day today. Woke up and spoke to AF whose in Madrid right now working at the US Embassy and protecting our image abroad. He seems to be doing well, albeit he seems to have some decent free time on his hands, enough at least to call his friends back in the states. We discussed many things, mostly exciting prospects for the year to come at WashU as seniors and the like. We both have huge goals for the year and I am looking forward to seeing him see them through.
Finally had breakfast for the first time in a while today. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the ish, for real. Watched the idiot box a bit. Then called the Red Cross to see if the Young Adults in our area could help with the crazy flooding relief going on in Lincoln or St. Charles. After the woman said that she would have them call me, they never did... and that was a bit disappointing as I was really hoping to make some headway on this project today. It appears PR may have done some good work on that end as we now have a contact at St. Charles who is going to let us know what they will need in the near future. Worked out, yes, I said it, I worked out. And felt like a baller. Did some meditation to hopefully sooth my nerves as I have been feeling rather anxious these last few months. Anxious, nervous, impatient, overwhelmed are all adequate adjectives to describe my last few months -- from the projects that I am looking to take on, the coming academic year, my RA position, my relationship, my parents, my living situation... it's all very... consuming and has been sort of been a lot to handle very recently. So hopefully through some meditation (and writing), I can calm my mind, take everything with equilibrium and push forward as I need to. One thing at a time, as always.
Met up with N and we put the preliminary finishing touches on the latest Neighborhood Watch song, called The Yeah Song, which is pretty much da bomb. Check it out, or don't, but you really should. Our next song is tentatively called Filthy, Nasty, which is a throwback song and a homage to West Coast gangsta rap. Check the site for updates, it should be up within the next week and a half.
Had my second day of work today and felt much more comfortable with my environment. The Green Light Festival is very cool and I am aiming to at least submit my play to it next year because it would be exactly what I would I need to get some sort of work as a writer in theatre. One of my bosses, John, told me that the director I am working with is really enjoying working with me and that it may be possible for me to come on board in November when they workshop the winner of the whole thing. I told him I would most definitely be interested, but it all depended on the schedule of my life come next year. But hey, that's some good news. (Also, the play I am ADing for is not that great and it makes me think, hey, I can do this...)
The rest of the night was pretty unmentionable when I got home. Put it this way: it's hard being home when you are used to college life, it's hard being the last kid in the family, and it's tricky trying to keep your cool in general. I need to meditate more in life. I am beginning to think I am becoming my father, which, for now is probably not a good thing.
Tonight I am going to try and finish Act Two of "Teddy". Hopefully. And tomorrow, well is just another day.
