So, this week has been a weird one for me. I took the time to write the essays for the Insight Fellowship, and I found I had a ton to say! Fitting a whole manifesto into 250 words is really hard to do. So, needless to say they are really dense and often a bit wordy, but I am incredibly proud of them.
I am waiting patiently to hear from Williamstown Theater Festival. They confirmed my application, but I have yet to hear if I am a candidate for interviews or not. I am hoping it will work out, but I know that the competition is pretty fierce (PS: YAY CHRISTIAN!).
This weekend was hard emotionally! Every year before seniors graduate they do this tradition where they insert the word VARB into one of their lines or somewhere in the show during their last performance in the main stage theater here. 9 of my friends Varb-ed in the closing night performance of “Much Ado About Nothing,” and it threw me for a loop so much more than I thought it would. I was in a bad mood all night long. It just really solidified the fact that the end is in sight, and that I really don’t want to leave all of these wonderful people behind…
It’s also time to start working on the JOI cover letter, which really shouldn’t take me that long, and is a really great opportunity to stay in Boston, while still doing some great work with non-profits and being supported by a great fellowship program. I know lots of people who are alumni of the program and I really would like to join their ranks if the opportunity works out that way. Gotta get moving if its gonna work out, though! Only got 4 days!
