runawayskellum at 12:33pm on 11/04/2011God, I'm exhausted.
So I'm currently in two shows and directing another. Both shows I'm performing in are for a student arts festival which happens next week, and they didn't bother to let me know when I audition that they overlap, which means that next Tuesday I'll be finishing a show and running from one venue to another, changing into a pirate's outfit and getting on stage just in time to sing an Important Plot Duet. I also have an essay and a presentation due that week. About six days later L and I put on our show, and I submit another essay (worth 30% of my overall mark).
URGH.
One of the shows - the musical - is going super fantastically well, and I'm really excited about it. The other is... it's just been so badly mismanaged, urgh, and the audition was SO COOL and I was really excited. It's being run by a company outside of St Andrews, which means we've had... two rehearsals so far? Since February? The director's not long out of RADA and is full of lots of time-intensive trendy methods that would be fine and cool if we hadn't had about twelve hours of rehearsal, total. They also just seem to have realised that the cast are all university students and therefore have classes to go to... which has lead to they idea of holding late night rehearsals. Rehearsals that begin at 10pm. ALSO - they cast a really good friend of mine as a main character without finding out if she could do/was willing to do an Irish accent, then pulled her to pieces for not being able to jump right into one. >:( >:(
Basically I would drop out of the second show if I could, but I sort of can't. But at the same time, I have no idea how I'm meant to find the time to do everything I need to do for it. And for the show I'm putting on. And for the stuff I need to do for my degree. D: D: D: Basically I've kind of fucked myself over, whoops.
