It’s currently 5am the day before we depart and I cannot sleep.
I figured I’d be a bit productive, so I have Friends playing and a giant bottle of Gatorade. (I actually just wrote and entire post and was about to publish it but accidentally deleted it, so here we go again.)
I’m feeling a million different emotions right now. Annoyed that I just deleted my blog post, excited, stressed, impatient… Maybe I’m being dramatic, but two and a half months in Europe is definitely the biggest and craziest thing I’ve ever done.
We leave tomorrow, and start with three weeks in Austria. One of those weeks will be a theatre workshop with the Ostrenko Brothers, and the other two will be spent touring Vienna, Salzburg, and Graz. Then, Brittney and I separate from the group from Purdue Fort Wayne to hang out in Europe for a little while. We start with a week in Switzerland, just outside of Bern, then head down to the Amalfi Coast in Italy for a week, and finally spend two weeks just outside of Rome. After all this, we have our apprenticeship with off-Broadway company One Year Lease in Greece; we start with a few days in Athens and then go to a little mountain village called Papingos.
I think of all the feeling things, I feel the most surreal.
I cannot believe I am so lucky.
Love Always, Val
