So, while sitting in my voice and diction class last week, a classmate came up to my and my cousin (also in the class) and said, "I'm making a movie, could either of you be free Thursday at 3?" Well I didn't really say yes, but I asked questions because it did sound interesting. He said he was in a director's workshop class and they were doing a group project, his being a scene from OFFICE SPACE. Well I told him I hadn't seen it so count me out, but he looked so happy. He said that's even better. So we introduced ourselves, he being Jake, then we got each other's contact info and made a rehearsal date. I finally got the call saying Thursday was his day in class so I'd need to meet him in his class at 3. Thursday was also the next day we had class. After class Thursday I met Spence (his partner), who would be the other guy in the scene while Jake directed. We performed it for the class, they all loved it! We then set up a meeting time on Friday to rehears. I'm having a blast! This is really nice because UVU's theatre department sucks. They don't advertise auditions or explain the whole audition process at all. But that's a different story, and also the reason I'm a communication major instead of theatre. Anyway so there is my almost famous moment this week.
In other news, my husband just found out that if he switched his degree from an Associates in Digital Media to a Bachelor's he is eligible for a $2000 grant! Just for being a Digital Media student. Needless to say he's switching. Does the communication department offer anything like that? I didn't think so. Ah well, that's why I married him I guess. :) Meanwhile we're both working on homework daily and loving school. This semester has rocked! I gave my first presentation last night. My partner Brett and I had a 30 minute in class presentation on a current event. Thankfully we sweet talked our way into the Olympics still being current, but we ended up being the first group. It was ok because my partner was fantastic! He had great knowledge and awesome charisma! I hope I didn't drag him down, he had everything memorized and I had to read stuff. But Tyler helped me with a highlight reel with pix from Beijing and Olympics past so hopefully that made up for it.
