Hey guys!
Sorry I haven't written in a while - I've been in a crazy state of mind. I'm on the plane ride home from Stanford. It was the last time I'll be up there before my decision, which is a little nerve-racking. When I get off the plane, we're going to UCLA to visit. I'm having lunch with Rachel Lee (a senior is the MT program) and later, coffee with Hunter Bird (a sophomore and close Norris friend of mine).
I've started and added and added and added to my pro/con list. I'm going to everyone I know for advice: my parents, my teachers, my theater teachers, students, etc. It's a weird feeling to know that I'm leaving in a few months. It's also weird that these monumental senior experiences are drawing to a close...
My last musical at Chadwick closes in two weeks.
My last dance concert closes in a week.
My last chorus concert is in three weeks.
My last day of school is in three weeks.
My senior trip leaves in a month.
My senior sleepover, the thing I've been waiting for for seven years, is flying towards me.
AND ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS WHAT SCHOOL SWEATSHIRT I'M GOING TO BE WEARING AND WHAT WINDOW DECAL WILL BE JOYFULLY PLACED ON THE TINY BACK WINDOW OF THE MINI?!
I'm currently listening to the Sweet Charity soundtrack. I'm auditioning in about a month for two dream roles in a show with amazing numbers and great dance opportunities. Not only that, but I'll get to update my theater bio:
Caitlyn Calfas – Caitlyn graduated from Chadwick School in June and will begin studying (Musical Theatre/Drama) at (UCLA's Roy Boldger Musical Theatre Program/Stanford University) in the fall, and could not think of a better way to spend her last summer "home" than with her Norris family. She has participated in over 40 productions in the South Bay area and couldn't be more excited for her future in theatre. Some of her favorite memories in theater include Rent (Maureen), Hair (Sheila), Charlie Brown (Sally), Irene (Irene), Working (Delores), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Helena), Bugsy Malone (Tallulah), and Seussical (Bird Girl). She has also performed for five consecutive years in the annual Rising Stars benefit here at the Norris. Caitlyn has previously trained at Carnegie Mellon University, North Carolina School of the Arts, and UCLA. She deeply thanks John and Alexis for their wisdom and passion, Debbie, Renee, and her entire Norris family for these past six years, and her family and friends for always supporting her in everything she does.
Thanks for giving me the time to write that out! One job accomplished. I never find time to update my bio...
I'll write more later, but have a good day/night/weekend!
