If you don't know what song that title is quoting, there is something wrong with you. Not me at all. You.
I seriously had one of the best days of my life today. I got to go to the acting school today which was so amazing. I also forgot to tell you guys that I got an email back from one of the places I applied for a job. Its a massage clinic. They had a group interview set up for Sunday. We pretty much just showed how well we pitched a script they sent us to memorize about their membership plans they have and learned more about the job we're applying for. Its a really great job actually. The main task is to sell memberships to clients. We'd make $10 an hour plus commission for the memberships we sell. Talk about making BANK. Anyway, the manager said that if they liked us then she would call us and set up an individual interview with just her, then if she wants to hire us she sends us into an individual interview with the owner of the place, but at that point you're pretty much hired. Well today she called me to set up an individual interview!! That was definitely one of the three main highlights of my day.
The other one was definitely the news of being able to go to Insight/going to Insight (yes I'm counting them as one highlight, mainly because four would be an awkward number). I just love Beth to pieces already. We got up in front of the class and just answered questions, then she gave us feedback on how we handled ourselves in front of people, told us about any nervous habits we may or may not realize we have, and things like that. I watched a few people go first and paid a lot of attention to the feedback, so after I went Beth said she didn't have anything written down to tell me to fix. I was pretty proud of that. I also mentioned that I sing and she asked me to sing for them. So I sang a little diddy and got a little applause for it (yet another confidence booster). It was also just really interesting to hear other people's stories. There are some fascinating people and great story tellers in that class.
The third highlight is that there is a cute boy in the class. He's super hot and totally adorable at the same time (no, I didn't actually mean to practically quote Crazy, Stupid Love right there). When he walked in to wait for the first section of class to be over, I was lookin' like 'DAMN he fiiiine!' (wop, wop, wop, wop...) But then when all the seats in the waiting room were full and another girl walked in, he got up and gave her his seat. And after class he tried to give me his email address so he didn't seem too forward with a phone number. So I suggested giving him my phone number and he seemed happy to take it. Maybe that was his plan all along. Anyway it worked because he's texting me right now.
As soon as I stop looking for boys...I swear.
Anyway, more updates on that to come. Right now I need to go to bed so I can survive my 8 AM tomorrow.
One last thought. After a speech or speaking in class or a job interview or whatever it is, don't second guess yourself. And during whatever speaking thing you're doing, don't be in your own head too much. That's the main note Beth gave us today that really stuck with me and that helped me stayed centered and not fidget. When you overthink where to put your hands or how to stand, you lose connection with the audience and you look awkward. That's something I'm definitely going to try to master between this class, Beth's class in real school, and my public speaking class.
So here's to an amazing day and a bright future ahead of me.
xoxo
