12 hour day for this audition -__-

Taking a risk and progressing further than you expected is a pretty great feeling.  All in all, through the downs of today—waiting, nervousness, practicing the routine over and over again for 5 hours, I’d say that today was pretty successful.  Making it through the first cut was surprising.  I haven’t been to an audition in a long while.  Due to several conditions, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to handle the stress today, so I wasn’t too excited to go…. or… could I be making excuses?! 

Usually, everytime I get a call about an audition, there’s a big battle going on inside of me—my insecurity versus my will to pursue this life long dream.  It seems like everytime an audition comes up, fear strikes me to figure out some rational excuse not to go… but my willpower always opposes telling me that if I don’t ever push myself to go for this, I’ll never, ever grow.  What did I come here to do again?!

In the midst of it all, thanks to the support I’ve been receiving.  It really does mean a lot, and regardless of what happens tomorrow, to get this far is success enough.  I can sleep happy :)
