Update 9/29

Today I finished filming my prescreens! I did dance at the studio on Saturday, along with one take of each monologue. My songs were filmed with my voice teacher a week before. We (I say we because my mom paid) hired a videographer (someone I work with) because no one in my family knows anything about editing or has decent equipment (like, the best equipment we have is my 5 MP phone camera). I may post videos of my prescreens later, but they are definitely flawed. Ah well! I am a flawed human!
I am not a dancer-dancer, and anything beyond a double pirouette is pretty much beyond me, so I have no idea how I choreographed my own dance prescreen. It is a little over a minute and I am only submitting it to two schools (for the rest it is optional). I watched the video today and while I was satisfied with how most of the actual dance looked, I was terribly disappointed by my lack of a facial expression during the entire thing! Ugh. I can't refilm it now so I'm just going to thank God it's only for two schools.
The monologues went really well today but personal statements and intros were honestly hellish! I said "um" a LOT and I kept forgetting important points I was planning to make. Blehhhh.
I was supposed to submit apps and prescreens before October 1st, and it might still happen but I haven't even turned in the form that my mom has to sign in order for my counselor to send my transcripts...oops!
We also went over the possible audition schedule today which was interesting. It seems like 15 schools could actually work. But it probably won't end up that many, seeing as that includes 9 prescreen schools. I e-mailed Indiana and American with the first bits of information so I can get a confirmed audition date (AU) and submit my prescreen (IU).
I also submitted to UArts yesterday! They are waiving the application fee through September 30th, so I went for it! The app was super easy to fill out. I have been pleasantly surprised but a lot of non common app schools. They are not very difficult or time-consuming, and with the exception of ApplyTexas, quite easy to use.
UGH, I want to do nothing but audition for/apply to college!!! I am having so much fun! I am loving this excuse to prepare/perform songs and monologues!
