So-ho, tomorrow I start my classes at Second City in Chicago. Words fail me for how ecstatic and nervous I am. So these noises will have to do:
Eeeeaahhhhyayayayaya. Goooooooberrrngggz. Derrrrrrmmmerrrrburrrrr. Ooouuugaahhhshanburrrddgglleessss. Mmmmmchocolate.
What?
...in other news, I am all sorts of excited for the new journey. It's funny, I felt so happy leaving the orientation, happier than I felt in a long, long time. I felt so lucky to be walking down the street in my favorite city in the world on a beautiful, Indian summer fall morning.Second City a home to an insurmountable number of comedy geniuses, giants and greats; John Belushi, Tina Fey, Steve Carrell, Joan Rivers, Alan Arkin, Dan Akryod, Rachel Dratch, Bill Murray, Adam McKay, Chris Farley, etc. (Hello, name dropping?) I can't wait to work with people who I already have this huge amount of common ground with, I am so open to new ideas, perspectives and ways of thinking.
I've certainly been feeling down lately for a number of reasons, I hope that this experience leads to some greater change in my life. Something I am in desperate need of. It's time to stop being afraid of the possibility of failure, it will undoubtedly happen. But as someone, somewhere has maybe, probably said before, it would be a bigger mistake to live in fear of failing than to actually fail. So philosophical, Google-d phrases aside, I'm gonna grow a pair (of ovaries, 'bra) and go after what I want and fight for it.
About God damn time.
P.S. When did this become an online diary? Second post and gettin' all mushy already? Bleck. (Cue fart noise.)
