i gave it a lot of thought. i did. i initially decided that it would be worth it for the experience - an awesome show, getting to work with and know a lot of talented people - and i had resigned myself to being a little sleepy for about two months.
then i realized something.
i don't want to be sleepy for two months. rehearsals are in north minneapolis and i wouldn't get home until 1:00 in the morning. i don't want to have to go to rehearsals on weekends. i don't want to spend the majority of my precious summer stuck in some room (i already have to do that for work). i don't want to struggle to find time to eat. i don't want to go straight from work to rehearsal or a show. i remembered spending most of my time while working on other shows just waiting to finish for the night so i could go home.
so that hit me like a sock full of sand. and i emailed the director (who is out of the country until like... friday) to tell her i'm out. i feel guilty now, but there's a large part of me that is relieved.
i actually... don't think i want to do this anymore. theatre, that is. i'll always enjoy seeing it and who knows, maybe i'll miss doing it someday. all i know is right now, i don't miss it when i'm not doing it. not at all. i much prefer my free time.
that's a pretty huge realization for a wednesday morning. i need a drink.
it's lunch time. i'll go to the gym instead.
