locked out.

So today was just superfantastic. Yeah. Right.

I had an okay day at school, though I was extremely tired (don't know why) but I got 6 prints (aka half of my portfolio project that is due next week which i was very far behind on) done. Strawberry Fest was outside after class and it was fun, though I came a couple hours into it, so I missed out on the really cool bright green CAB bags. But I got some yummy FREE cotton candy! I would have participated in the fun inflatable and rock climbing things but I didn't know where any of my good friends were (turns out they were working or going on job interviews). Oh well, next year.

But anyway I come home to find my top lock (the deadbolt) pretty much dangling from the door of my apartment. FUN! So I freaked out for a minute (or 20) trying to get in and trying to put the lock back together, trying to break in, etc. No luck. And of course, I hadn't put the super OR the landlord's phone numbers in my phone. Great. So after calling my mom to ask for suggestions on what to do, she went online and found the landlord's number, so I called him and he was shocked about what happened, and gave me the super's number. Well this guy hardly speaks English, and after explaining to him what had happened, he said he would be there within an hour. Good thing I didn't hold my breath! Well I had texted Jenny, the former tenant, and she said there is a locksmith on the corner, so I went and they said someone would be there in 45 minutes or an hour. They didn't lie! Pretty much exactly 45 minutes after I went there, the locksmith walked up! So he drilled a hole in the existing lock and used a bunch of tools to basically break in, then took that lock out, put on a new one, plus a metal shield so that it really can't be broken into. So $345 of my mom's money later, I have a nice new lock on my door! At least I feel safer lol...

As we speak I am setting up cable and wireless internet so I will finally feel at home. :) The bad news, their first time they can come set it up is TUESDAY. Ugh. Bad news. Gross. Oh well...

Oh and Tuesday is also the Rockette audition. Hmm...wonder how that's gonna go. I hope I'm not hacking up a lung during it...and I also kinda hope I get cut early. I know that's bad to say, but I would rather they cut me early then have me go through the entire thing and not get called this summer. Plus I really would only want to be hired this year if I could stay in NYC. And I'm working so hard with my schedule to get all of my required courses done ASAP so that if I do get hired in the next couple years, I don't have to spend a couple extra years in school. Ugh. Decisions decisions. One thing I know for sure - I need to get a cute leotard to wear!!!! Mommy? Wanna pay?! I love you! :)

Well thats all I have to say at the moment...I've gotta get back to work in a few minutes, I'm at South Pacific. I made over $800 on my own from walk in and intermission! Let's hope I get $200 on walk out so I can make $1000 on my own!!! :)
