newsy news, vol. II

Today was a huge day:
1. I got bangs for the first time in I-can't-remember-how-many years.
2. I signed a contract to direct the children's production of Alice in Wonderland at the theater this summer. I'm not getting paid as much as I thought I was going to, but I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that this will be a great experience and not the way to make a ton of money. I think I'm OK with that.
3. I'm also teaching an improvisation class to 2nd and 3rd graders starting at the end of March.
4. My Fair Lady is going smashingly well. Most of my students are reading the International Phonetic Alphabet, which is a success in itself.
5. I got a large package from Emerson College, telling me they'd accepted me. It was great news, to say the least after two rejection letters, and I'm very excited by it, albeit slightly anxious about another cross-country move and another new beginning.
