I put on some classical music and suddenly I'm in the mood...
...to blog.
Yesterday was the last day of filming for Plastic, a short film written, produced, directed, and starring my friend John. I had a pretty significant role, I suppose. My character expressed the most emotion. Which was a really cool experience for me. I haven't acted in quite some time and since my initial awakening back in July I have been taking steps towards being an actress once again.

I have been working on my anxiety when in front of new people or a crowd. So far I am pleased with the results. I do not over analyze nearly half as much as I use to. I am much more confident in who I am and my abilities. I am not a professional by any means, but I now have the courage to put myself out there in order to gain experience, learn, and grow. This role in Plastic gave me the opportunity to push through my insecurities and emote. I'd say it wasn't half bad considering.
Being a part of Plastic not only gave me the opportunity to act and assist in directing, but it also gave me the opportunity to network with a group of people who are just as passionate and enthusiastic about film and production as I am. I can tell we are all going to continue to collaborate on each others projects in the future. Which makes me extremely happy. Finally, I am finding those who take the arts seriously. I look forward to what is to come.
On another note, I am submitting my Common Application materials to Emerson tomorrow. I have a folder filled with all the required materials I cannot submit online. Then, before January 22nd, my essays will have been proof read and revised, making my application ready to submit! AHHH!
Well, I am off to watch Doctor Who and cuddle with the boyfriend. <3
Good night.
