			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>God!</p>
<p>i just listened to myself when i video recorded me&#8230;</p>
<p>I suck I suck I suck!</p>
<p>My GOD I hope i sounded better than that in the auditorium.</p>
<p>I give up! I give up!</p>
<p>NoWAY someone like me can get this part. Thought i could have my cake and eat it too this year. I&#8217;m freaking delusional. Looks like bittersweet memories and dreams again. Sigh&#8230; well perhaps I can talk them into giving me the soldier part.</p>
<p>Some part of me always knew that I wasn&#8217;t good enough&#8230;</p>
<p>No matter what i think&#8230;</p>
<p>No way they do this play without having callbacks.</p>
<p>Not unless they were REALLY, REALLY, REALLY sure.</p>
<p>And there are alot of talented asian women out there.</p>

Maybe a million times?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many times have I listened to the Miss Saigon Soundtrack since I heard of the auditions?</p>
<p>Maybe a million times?</p>
<p>I fear.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s saturday and still no callback.</p>
<p>If I don&#8217;t get it&#8230; will i be crushed? I think I may just be!</p>
<p>Or not.</p>
<p>You know what&#8230; I think I know what crushed me before in my other audition. It was the knowledge that I had&#8230; not done well. Knowledge that I wasn&#8217;t even on the radar for those panelists from the moment I walked into the room.</p>
<p>This time. I know I did well. I know I did my best. That I sang my audition piece with emotion and clarity, it&#8217;s story was well thought out and my voice was in the right place as I sang. I know that I gave it my everything, that the audition went incredibly. I know that if they go the other way its not because I didn&#8217;t show them my best, because dammit it was my best and I can get better! The audition was bloody amazing and the outcome will not change my perception of it.</p>
<p>Only&#8230; I will be unhappy being denied the opportunity to play my most coveted role.</p>
<p>I imagine myself in that role so often&#8230; it is the never-ending movie in my mind&#8230; I think even if i don&#8217;t get this I will always play that dream in my head. Its been a bittersweet movie since my last audition, I imagine people being proud of me just like they were proud of me after the King and I. I imagine how amazed they are at my portrayal of an angry young mother, I also imagine that I can cry on cue&#8230; which at the moment I can&#8217;t but hey&#8230; it&#8217;s my freaking movie ok?</p>
<p>Perhaps I shall look into setting my sights and investing my feelings in some other project in the near future, something that will give me a sense of achievement, that will, depending on the outcome; alleviate the feeling of crushing defeat or temper growing elation.</p>
<p>Mother is looking to do a fundraising concert. That would be an interesting project for the holidays, alongside redecorating both my rooms and getting my hair dyed and losing at least 10kgs. Ahhh&#8230;. so many projects for the the summer&#8230; I am very excited to get uni over and done with.</p>
<p>Speaking of uni. My coping strategies for uni have gotten quite pathetic. I think I need to learn more about how I learn and figure out a system in which I can learn a little bit better. These last few years I have felt like I have just been scraping through this course. It&#8217;s not a very happy feeling, especially when I believe myself to be one whose performance quality matters.</p>
<p>EXELLENCE&#8230;</p>
<p>I think about that medal given to me at the end of the HSC.</p>
<p>I feel pathetic at the moment. I feel like I&#8217;m just scraping through my life and it feels disgusting. I feel low.</p>
<p>Now that that&#8217;s out <img src='http://www.celinelowe.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  To the general public of nobody <img src='http://www.celinelowe.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I need to get up.</p>
<p>I may be scraping through, but scraping through is better than admiting absolute defeat, although it is getting increasingly more tempting to do just that! I need therapy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am obsessing over my audition like a crazy person.</p>
<p>I swore I wouldn&#8217;t do this! But noooooo&#8230; nooo&#8230;. I have to just freaking OBSSESS about it&#8230; i can&#8217;t stop thinking;</p>
<p>will they pick me?</p>
<p>will they not pick me?</p>
<p>Then i think JESUS I want this so badly! So here I am blogging out all of my insecurities and perhaps all of my securities, so that I&#8217;m not obsessing over it over the next few days while I&#8217;m taking my EXAMS!</p>
<p>geez I am pathetic.</p>
<p>I wonder if they&#8217;ll choose that Katherine chick I saw on the net.</p>
<p>She&#8217;s pretty, but I have wanted this role since&#8230; since&#8230; since I dared to dream that me getting this role would be possible!</p>
<p>Sigh&#8230; I have to let go of this! i promised myself that I wouldn&#8217;t do this anymore! Ok celine you need to just calm down. The thing is I&#8217;ve told so many people about it. They all want me to get this and I don&#8217;t want to disappoint them if I don&#8217;t. Sigh&#8230; You know It&#8217;s not a question of wether or not i&#8217;ll do it. I think I&#8217;ll do it regardless of me getting the lead or not&#8230;</p>
<p>That way you don&#8217;t disappoint anyone. You are still in it right?</p>
<p>Also; remember. This one is but a student by weekday and shop assistant by weekend. Nothing special, just a girl who wanted a real shot at playing the role of Kim.</p>
<p>A <em>real</em>  shot at the role, where they considered me and took me seriously and i think they <em>did</em>  take me seriously, and that I <em>did</em>  get a <em>real</em>  shot. Not like last time, when I wasn&#8217;t ready for it. I am ready for this opportunity now. I <em>know </em>I am, and I <em>will</em>  let it go and let time pass as they deliberate on their cast.</p>
<p>Because remember, there are others who will <em>always </em>be better than you. There are decisions that are not in their hands. You went and did your best. You conducted yourself in a professional manner and you sang as well as you could&#8217;ve given the circumstances. You did well.</p>
<p>NOW</p>
<p>Cogneuro exam is on TOMMZ at 12.30pm</p>
<p>And you still haven&#8217;t covered all of the aphasias!</p>
<p>You need to get a grip ok&#8230; and you need to remember, WHY you are learning all the things you are learning now at Uni. It&#8217;s because wether or not you get this role in a musical, there is another more important role in your life that you have to take more seriously; and that role is to ensure that you contribute to society, to be a servant to your fellow man.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget the prestigious honor of being blessed with a clever inquiring mind and please do not squander it.</p>
<p>While I believe that no one in this world could want the role of Kim more DESPERATELY than I do; I cannot deny that Speech Pathology is my calling. I have known it since the first time I helped a young boy in clinic string a sentence together on his own. I feel in my heart that this is what I was meant to do with my life, and I want to do it well.</p>
<p>I want to do it well.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m going to go now and learn about aphasia, voice and audiology.</p>
<p>because in the end it is what I need to accomplish in the long term that matters most.</p>
<p>Good Luck BTS in choosing your cast.</p>
<p>I am sure that the show will be spectacular.</p>
