"Real World"...Sounds like a myth to me.

It is officially the Spring Break of my last semester of senior year! Sounds like a blast and a half, right? Well, you'd think so... But that also means that I am one week closer to graduation - the scariest, most exciting thing to loom over my head since, well, high school graduation.

But who wants to read a blog where all the writer does is hyperventilate about college graduation? Not this girl! I've got enough problems of my own. ;) Instead I'm going to banter a little about the thrills to come...

First of all, in three days I am headed to Beaver Creek, Colo., with seven of my best friends!

(The coolest friends...Don't they look like the coolest friends?)

After the craziness of being a sing chair for my sorority, Chi Omega, in Baylor's All-University Sing while juggling a Theatre major, a Journalism minor and a smidgen of a social life, I guess you could say I'm excited to sleep a full nine-hour night. More than that, though, I am pumped to ski some slopes, read some books, watch some movies (and the finale of the Bachelor!) and spend some time with my friends and my Jesus.

Yet, after Spring Break, guess what I have to look forward to? You guessed it - more auditions! This is what's coming up on the agenda for a few of us Baylor Theatre seniors:

• WaterTower Theatre in Addison, TX - auditions for Xanadu the musical!
• A potential career with Seattle Children's Theatre
• Cap21 Musical Theatre Conservatory & Theatre Company - auditions for Cap21's Musical Theatre Industry Practicum & Showcase
• Auditions for American Theatre Wing's Springboard NYC Summer Program
• And, most recently, Dallas Theater Center's 2013-2014 Season!
• P.s. This includes Les Mis, which is a dream, so...cross your fingers!

You might notice that there are several Texas options in that list...being a Houston and Dallas native, I had previously committed to move out of Texas ASAP. Yet, the more graduation creeps in, the more I second guess moving away from this great state so soon. My friend and fellow-theatre-pursuer, Rachel Peterson, made the persuasive argument that it might be a good option to build my resume in Dallas for a year and THEN move to New York. That way, I'd have more money (a definite plus) and feel more confident in my resume - I'd also only be 22 - still young and marketable! My oh my...what a decision to have to make in such a small amount of time. As you can see, I am keeping my options wide open and trusting steadfastly while waiting to see where God's wind blows me!

I'm still confident that I'll end up right where I need to be...until then, I need only to be making intentional and sensical strides in some direction - God needs something to work with! I can't wait to see where I end up. The possibilities are quite literally endless!

I'll be sure to keep you updated. Until then, I hope your Spring Break is as fun, relaxing and as full of romantic comedies as mine will be! ;) Also, enjoy this video of the Baylor University Theatre program doing our very own "Harlem 'BUT' Shake." I know we did!
