Plans for Summer

I have an interview today, and I have the opportunity to work with an awesome theatre group in the city. To say that I'm not a little nervous would be a lie, and I'm not really sure what to expect. I've spent the last two days studying the organization and finding out what to say during an interview, but in every YouTube video, in every article, they are basing their knowledge on a business interview, and this place isn't really business. It's called NY Artists Unlimited, and if you search that on YouTube you'll find some awesome plays that were recorded and put up by the director, Melba LaRose. It's those videos that really made me nervous because now I want this. When I want something I act terribly. I once had a crush on this guy and in my mind he was perfect, and he liked me at the beginning too, but I fucked the whole thing up after a couple of days because I was way to clingy and weird. What if I end up acting too clingy and weird today? What if they stop answering my texts and leaving me in a state of emotional turmoil for days while I wait for them to respond? That's why I'm worried, because I want this really badly. I rarely get what I want, I get what I need. I needed for that boy to dump me because now I know not to be weird around other boys, but I just hope that I don't need the rejection from this group, I won't really know until after, and I'm not a romantic when it comes to things like fate and destiny, but everything in my life has a sense of working itself out in the end.
I'm taking French classes this summer. The organization is called FIAF I think, and the classes are everyday in the mornings. I've wanted to speak French for years now, and I'm finally doing something about it. I speak Spanish almost fluently, and if I can learn French then I know that a career in international affairs is much more plausible. People forget how large French actually is as a language. The big three are English, Chinese, and Spanish, but you could make a strong argument for French being fourth. It is a UN language, and the language of the EU. It's spoken in a handful of countries across the world and people don't realize how useful it is. Learning Italian isn't as handy, but on Long Island I know that my statement would offend people, so I won't go into more detail about that.
Lastly I'm taking an SAT class at night. I've come to accept that I would have to take it eventually, and now is a good time. There are a ton of cute boys there. I always had the fantasy that one would talk to me and we'd just hit it off. That's never happened. It's always been some weird reference I get from a mutual friend where we are both stalking each other's Facebook pages until we decide whether or not we find the other person attractive. I feel that in the future it might be different, but when you have apps like grinder and that disturbing match.com commercial saying that a fifth of all relationships start on the Internet.
Those are my plans for the summer, they're not too stressful, but I hope to be busy because I'm tired of sitting around and doing nothing.
