Summer!

I don't know how many of you heard about the surgery that I recently had to have- it was for my kidneys- but I am well on my way to recovering! Due to the fact that I was on the couch and out-of-it for so many weeks when I got home from school it seems like my summer vacation has just started! (Although, the weather does not seem to be matching up- it's so cold here!) I have been hanging out a lot with my sister and just relaxing! Now that I am feeling better I can start work at the ice cream stand and I can get ready for my job as a camp counselor! I am really excited, because this year I was given the head counselor position of the youngest group of campers, so I will be working all summer with four, five and six year olds!
As far as acting goes, I have been keeping up on open call auditions around here, but I have to work this summer to make money for my last year of college (!!!!) so I don't have a lot of extra time to travel far for auditions. For my twenty-first birthday I was given several books on acting, different techniques of acting, and the business of acting- so at least I will keep myself educated and updated! 'Gotta always stay proactive!!

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes from everyone and thank you, as always for your on-going support!

Almost Legal

In two days I will be 21!!! I know this is going to sound funny, but it makes me feel old... It really seems just like yesterday that I was in high school and here I am now, headed into my Senior year and looking at Graduate schools.

As usual, I am busy as ever! I am working several "day jobs" this summer, while I live at home with my parents. I am a camp counselor at a day camp, I work at an ice cream stand, and I work for an organization that works one on one with individual with disabilities. I like all of my jobs, but I continue to strive for my dream!!

I finished up this past school year- lots of work, but it's done! I had a blast playing the character with the Staten Island accent! I was also able to cry for the more serious role. I learned a lot from both experiences and look forward to future roles! I will be taking a Improvisation class next year, so hopefully that will help me further my comedy skills! I am also taking a Senior seminar where we will put together a showcase for agents in NYC- crazy, I cannot believe that I am almost ready to go out there and show the acting world who I am! I am nervous...but also soooo excited! And it's great to have such a support system, so thank you to all of you!
