First of all, if you don't know where that quote is from, then you obviously have not seen "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny," and you are missing out. Now for the nitty-gritty stuff that will not get out of my head no matter what I do.
So, I had my Disney College Program audition in Boston on Friday, and to be honest, I had a blast. It consisted of a dance portion and an animation portion, and, considering the fact that I am by no means a dancer, I think I did pretty well. Animation was beyond fun- first, act out meeting your favorite Disney character, then act out eating your favorite snack. This was all big over-the-top acting that I had not done since senior year of high school. Man, did that bring back some Modern Theatre memories:)
Right from there, we had to go right into about forty-eight counts of dancing to 90's Disney rap (don't even ask me to elaborate on that). The entire audition process was most exhausting- the dance studio was fairly small and we had to cram roughly fifty of us in there. My only complaint about the whole thing was that we didn't split up into groups for the dance until we had learned everything, which made it extremely difficult to do the dance correctly during rehearsal without whacking someone across the chest (...uh, yeah that may have happened once or twice...oops). I thought I was going to have a heart attack when we had the actual audition...in groups of 5 (as opposed to twenty-five or fifty)...in front of everyone. We had to go through our animation and dance twice with about 10 seconds of rest in between. Needless to say, THAT was fun. Surprisingly enough, however, I think I really did the best I could have done, and I truly did have tons of fun.
Basically, my situation is this: I need all the luck in the world to get into the Disney Entertainment program, it being the most competitive of the college programs available. After speaking with my advisor, if I take next semester off, I will be here for six years instead of five no matter what. Normally, I would rather drop out of school than stay here for another year, however, spreading things out a bit because I have no choice doesn't sound all that bad. Basically, I would come back next spring semester with a ridiculously easy course load (I could really use one right about now), and then have an exceptionally easy junior year because a lot of my classes that I would normally have to take then would already have been completed. Even more exciting is the fact that I would not have to take the three summer gen. eds. I've signed up for, which means more hours to work (at Rita's Ice!!), and more time to do whatever the hell else I want to...which in my case probably means more work/chores around the house.
If I don't get into the Entertainment program, I can still do ride operations, even though that sounds totally unappealing. I want to go for entertainment because that is what I actually want to do with my life. If I don't get into Entertainment, I can hopefully convince my mother to still let me go. Afterall, my roommate and my boyfriend are already both going, and I don't think I could survive a semester at UConn without them. Seriously.
Okay, so that was a lot of blab that has become one giant cloudy mess in my head. Therefore, I apologize if this all seemed very disorganized (totally unlike me, I know), and scattered. Give me a break, the UConn women just lost a trip to the Final Four.
Oh, yeah. Happy Spring!!
