Summer

I know what I am doing this summer! No more voids  of confusion and existential crises about my future! Originally I was going to go to India for two and a half months, but that is too far away, for too long, for this summer. So instead, I will be working on the RealAD show.

At NYU, there is something called the Reality Show - a musical/theatrical/spoken word piece about life as a freshman at NYU.

That tradition has been translated to NYUAD, resulting in the RealAD show.

I auditioned to be a part of this, and was cast. That means over the summer I will be in New York City, writing and creating and collaborating on this show, to be presented to the student body of NYUAD once the school year starts.

The show was amazing this year. It hit all of the right points, and some songs make me tear up, even now. We will be creating a whole new show, and we have some pretty big shoes to fill. I want for our show to have the same potency, the same relevance.

In addition to working on this show, I will be a part-time intern with Theater Mitu. (If you haven't already Google-d them, get on that! They are awesome!)

And of course, I will be having lots of crazy adventures in New York. A lot of my friends are either in the show or in NY for other internships, and that will be great.

I will be home for a bit at the beginning and end of the summer. (visiting family, hiking, seeing the spring show, visiting my old school, going to the local SCA event that I haven't missed yet, and generally immersing myself in nature and the rural life for a few weeks)

I am so pumped for this summer! This is the motivation I needed to finish all of my final papers.
