Breezy Days and Busy Nights

With midterms happening and spring break ever-so-near, my life is going haywire. My days are loaded with work, classes and homework and my evenings are spent rehearsing multiple things, namely The Lab which opens in only a few weeks! So things are busy busy busy. But that's a good thing for an aspiring actor - we crave work, need it. And when we don't have it we feel lacadasical and worthless.

But even with this never ending schedule it's nice to sit back and enjoy the time here, which is exactly what I got to do yesterday. My friend Meghan Kennedy from NYU cam to visit me for her spring break for a day. I met her in Chinatown where the bus dropped her off and we spent the day enjoying D.C. It was so gorgeous and the town was actually very active - something I'd not seen since the cold and snow had been here. There was an electric air about town, something in the air that made me want to just sit a a cafe somehwhere drinking lemonade and watching all of the pedestrians passing by. It would have been nice to go to old town Alexandria, but we did not have the time. We walked around the federal triangle, visited a Smithsonian for a bit, and had lunch at a great Asian restaurant in Dupont Circle. It made for a lovely day. I'm so fortunate to have friends like Meghan. Later that night we attended The Green Bird here on UMD's campus and went to the party afterwards at Kristina Freidgen's apartment (she was nice to invite me, even thought I didn't work on Green Bird). Fun times with great people.

But Meghan left back for NYC early this morning, having to run lights for an off-off Broadway show that some friends of hers are doing. Very exciting. My good friend Erin Fisher is coming in from NYC next weekend to take part in some sort of rally on the Pentagon lawn. I'm excited to see her, such a fabulous actress as well. She recently booked an episode of Law & Order!! I'm so excited for her! It will be nice to see her - even if we may only get to do lunch.

Anyway, now I'm off to rehearse The Lab for a few hours. We're running the show today and will have our design run-thru tomorrow. Exciting stuff! How fortunate am I to be able to participate in such exciting projects with such great people! I have been afforded so many opportunities and am very thankful for them. I cannot wait to see what the future holds!

***COME SEE THE LAB IN CSPAC AT THE END OF THIS MONTH!!***
