A Saturday in the City

 Yesterday was quite a rare occasion. I got up, WILLINGLY, at 5:30 AM. 
ON. THE. WEEKEND.
    I obviously get up that time everyday for school, but yesterday I did because I was going to an audition for an upcoming off-Broadway show, Runaways, with my friends Ginger and Chloe. The three of us met up at a Starbucks by NYU, and took the train uptown to Talent Unlimited High School. (Where the auditions were being held). I was excited to see the high school a lot of my friends go to. The audition process was a little different than other auditions I've been to, and it was cool to have a new experience with my friends and I, bonding over our nervous energy. But like any open call, there were tons of kids and we waited around all day until our numbers were called. We all agreed that after running on adrenaline during the whole process, we were exhausted when it was over. 
    After that, we went to this cute little diner in the village and went back to Ginger's ADORABLE apartment. (She has one of the cutest rooms I've ever seen). The three of us hung out, watched YouTube videos, talked about the meaning of life, gave each other temporary tattoos, discussed books, and so on and so on. It reminded me of being a little kid and having nothing to do but at the same time not having enough time to do it. The afternoon was full of tons of laughs.
   In the evening we were off, and went to our school to see the first SDF (Spring Drama Festival) performance of the season; "Don't Drink the Water".  I really was unsure about if I would like it or not (the play is by Woody Allen), because the concept was a bit weird to me. Though once it started, I could not stop laughing. I thought the script was hysterical and the comedic timing was on point. All of the kids were fantastic, and I really wanna congratulate them on such a great job!
Yesterday was really fun and full of new experiences. It really did make not-sleeping-in feel like nothing...but damn, was I tired.
P.S. Ginger got a call back, so send good vibes! So proud of her! ​💓
