OMG!

I just finished memorizing the last 5 pages of Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf and I feel kind of giddy! 

Of course tomorrow I have to start in on the gruelling, possibly disheartening process of reviewing.  I keep reminding myself that what I’ve memorized so far is still in there.  That it’s important to trust that, not to panic. 

When I start to question whether my menopausal brain can possible retain 257 pages in it’s dusty vaults, I call this video up on Youtube and watch it. 

It helps. 

I figure there is so much we don’t know about the brain.  But if this guy, after 45 minutes in a helicopter can draw a city in such amazing detail, then surely, these words, these sentences that I’ve worked so hard in memorizing, are in there somewhere.  That I just have to trust it to pull them out.  I tell myself, it is just a matter of getting out of my way and not blocking off the storage rooms where the necessary words are resting.

Can’t believe I’ve gotten through the script!  If we are able to do this play justice, it is going to be amazing.  The writing…Oops, the phone… be right back!

It was Don.  He wants to Skype.  Yay!  Bye for now.
