Silly things…and not-so-silly things…
Posted in Film, Life, School, Theatre on 12/01/2005 11:02 am by KatieYou know those commercials for ITT Tech and the mail-order degrees in crazy things like flower-arranging? I saw an ITT Tech commercial last night and I remembered that when I was in junior high and high school, I wanted to secretly go to ITT Tech at the same time and become a super-genius. I wanted every single one of those mail-order degrees. I’m a nut sometimes.
Well…it’s been about two and a half weeks since Sean and I broke up. It’s really hard. I kinda got slapped in the face the other day thinking about our anniversary trip that we always took in February. We found this awesome dive restaurant the last time we went, called the Dubuque Family Restaurant in Dubuque, IA (which is right across the river from Galena, which is where we went). It looked like a crappy diner, but the Greek food there was actually amazing. I was talking to Lindsay about Greek food, remembered the DFR, and went…oh, shit…we’ll never go there again.
Two years and nine months is a long time to be together…we have a lot of memories.
I still talk to him every day, which sometimes feels weird, because I feel like I’m bothering him or something, but really, when something happens, he’s the first one I want to call and tell. Or when nothing’s happening, he’s the first one I want to call and just prattle idly with.
Everything about this feels wrong.
Also, I didn’t get into the Vagina Monologues. The director is in my oral interp class and she said my audition was phenomenal, but the problem with putting together an ensemble is that they wanted a whole bunch of people from different backgrounds and with different looks. I guess I look too much like everyone else. Well, they do it every year, so maybe I’ll audition next year.
In other news, as it gets closer to finals…I think I’m going to get an A in every class except Film Art. Funny how the former film student hates her film class. *shakes fist at it* I know I got a bad grade on the last test, but really…I don’t care. Everyone’s doing bad in this class and everyone hates it. Oh, well, there goes my 4.0.

I always wanted to take all those classes too!
Your breakup with Sean reminds me of my first love. We were together about as long as you two and when we broke up we stayed friends for awhile, but it ended being too hard to make the switch. ((hugs))
And sorry about you missing out on the VMs. Great show. I remember going for a cattle call for models once and not quite knowing what group to put myself in: All-American, Exotic, etc. I didn’t fit into any of them exactly. I ended up picking All-American and got rejected. Ah, memories. At least your audition was “phenomenal.”
Thanks for stopping by today; don’t be a stranger!

Hi there, here from Michele’s.
Sorry to hear you missed out on the VMs – it’s an amazing piece. You have a good attitude about it, at least.
Hang in there!

hi katie, here via michele. we have an aspiring actress at home, auditioning for brigadoon next week. a break-up after almost 3 years has to be pretty brutal, no matter how amicably you part. hope your life is on the upswing!

Keep up all that workin’ and stuff! Er, yeah. I’m just not good at “inspirational.” Good luck with finals at least; it sounds like you’ve got a decent grasp of them, which will allow you to best throttle the life out of them. Remember, you don’t get an A ’til you hear the windpipe snap. Er, yeah.
I don’t know any Michele. Sorry.

That was a very touching post. I would agree with the other commenters that you have a great attitude and that things will get better with time. I think it’s great that you still have a great relationship with your ex. Things will improve. Great blog.

It’s pretty logical that you think of Sean first when you have something to share, after almost 3 years. Sorry about the Vagina Monolpuges. There’s always next year.
