I am content. I am, in fact, beyond content. This day was... well. I won't bore you with details. I spent the day in DC with B. And it was indeed good. :-)
Also, I got cast in "Honour", which beyond thrilled me - even though I didn't think anything could possibly make this day better. I got the role I tried for, too - I'm playing Claudia (the "other woman"). She's completely different from anyone I've ever played before, so I'm fairly excited.
The only thing that made the day somewhat less than satisfactory is that I missed Madrigal rehearsal - and it was kind of an important one. (Though a niggly little voice is stating in the back of my brain that I could very well have stayed in DC longer, since I missed it in spite of my rushing off.) However, it was okay because Ms. F, M., and I all went out to dinner to discuss the group and various and sundry other things. We all ended up fairly giggly by the end of it - Ms. F. because of the wine she'd consumed, M. because she just gets that way, and me... well, it was a mixture of sheer exhaustion and elation at how well my day had turned out.
M. and Ms. F. spent a lot of the meal trying to convince me to stay in Staunton for the summer. I'm tempted - after all, I did make it into a (admittedly, relaxingly low-key role) in "Die Fledermaus" and I have a chance at a decent job at Stone Soup Books, which I would definitely not mind. However, I really do want to go to Camp Krislund this summer. I've been putting off applying, though, which is definitely not good.
Because, as much as I love my family, I am not enthusiastic about spending an entire summer with them again. I'm sorry, but no. Occasional weekends, so I can check on SEA and make sure SHSA is being good, but other than that? Mmmmno. I feel like a bad daughter, because Momma really does want me home - but I just can't.
Right. Now, it's off to sleep. I shall have good dreams this night, methinks.
