Issues with Communication

Communication between friends is so very, very important. This is something everyone should remember. Lack thereof always results in something awful, many times the end of a relationship with another. So it has happened to me. Thankfully, I am not the one who isn't communicating, but rather the one not being communicated to. And it doesn't feel good. This "friend," whom I almost want to call an ex-friend but won't merely because I hate the word, has some issues she needs to work out if she wants to stay connected with me at all. I really don't have the time or effort to continually put up with her problems. And it's not just the problems of a normal friendship, she causes them. So I am distancing myself from her, something I vowed I would do from many a friend that was bringing me down. And this is what she's doing. So please, for the sake of all that is enjoyable, communicate with those friends you want to keep. It's something valuable. If something bothers you, tell them so. If you need something, tell them. They will more than likely accomodate your request until you really hurt them. Then it may be unrepairable. So just communicate.

ANYWAY! On with my life. Thankfully, especially in the wake of this, I have found new friends on campus. I was at first having a hard time doing so because of two reasons. One, I generally hate people from this area, and two, I only like theatre people if they're serious about the business (which no one here is) otherwise there is a conflict of interest. So, luckily for me I have found friendship in for French people: Delphine, Odail, Auré, and Clement, Two Germans: Tabea and Stephani, and a Palestinian: Fifi. So yay! Now I can speak and practice my French language as well my friendship with these people. And they are so very nice. Just this past weekend we all attended a showing of The Scarlet Pimpernel at the Barter in Abingdon. Tabea and Stephani won the "far away first timer" prize. Very much fun. And this is good for me. Very good.

I was interviewed the previous day for an internship at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. I do hope that I get offered a job. If so, it would take me away to Orlando for the months of January through June. That would be wonderful. But who knows? I should find out in a couple of weeks or so. And the NYC trip is starting to become a more pressing issue. I actually just got off the phone with the bus company - at which the lady always calls me Chris - to try and get our quote, which they don't have yet. Of course they wouldn't. With the meeting tomorrow, I'm in a rush to get things settled. And I have yet to pick the third show. I'm hoping that Jerry Springer: the Opera makes it to B'way so we can go see that. But I can't wait too long or I wont be able to get good seats for anything! So who knows. We'll just wait and see what happens.
