A Pleasant Surprise

So...wow! Guess what! Over the course of the past two nights I auditioned (kind of on a whim, but encouraged/dragged along by two of my flatmates who were also auditioning) for a play that the Drama Society is putting on at the end of October. It's called "Freshers," and it's an original comedy (by a creative writing student) about Freshers' Week, the first-years' first week of university. I had always kind of wanted to try out for something, so I figured, What have I got to lose? At the very least I'll have fun playing improv games at the group audition, and if I make it through the individual audition alive I'll have proved to myself that I can do it. Plus, they told us that there were a bunch of roles to be given out -- 10 main protagonists and 14 or 15 supporting parts -- and it looked like there were only about 35 people auditioning, so my odds weren't terrible.

Anyway, at 11:30 last night, three hours after what felt to me like an awkward and extremely nerve-racking individual audition, I got a text message saying I got a part! And not just any part, one of the 10 main ones! I really could not believe it. The guy told me I got the part of Heidi, who actually, now that I think about it, is basically me: hyper. So I'm extremely excited, I think it'll be really fun. We have our first read-through tomorrow, Thursday, so I'll share the details of that later. Yay! :)

Oh, and P.S. Rabbit rabbit.
