Can someone please hit the fast forward button to next week? Dying over here! Mid-March can’t come soon enough! I don’t know how my D can be so strong…her Mom is losing it. LOL
@MTplayer I so agree. Some wise person posted on here a year or so ago that they started to dread weekends when it got to be this time of year. I never thought I’d want to wish away my weekends away from work, but suddenly, those days that usually seem so fleeting drag on and on and on as we wait for the action to start up again the next week.
Mom of a 2016 HS grad here – I just wanted to send hugs – oh man I remember these 2 weeks 2 years ago – it was torture!!! And the non MT kids are posting acceptances over and over…only MT parents get it! And if you are lucky to end up on a waitlist, it can drag until May!! Breath…Breath and I recommend wine if you partake. I relied on my CC peeps and I hope you do as well. Hang in there and I cannot say enough that it likely will not go as planned but it will work out!! This is the worst time, the waiting. 2 years ago my D’s plan was to be at a “football big school” – well jump forward 2 years and she is a blissfully happy sophomore at Boco now. It didn’t go as planned, but it worked out better honestly… Hang in there, be strong and try not to freak out – breath!
Connecting with MFA auditioners was divine. They showed all of us anxiously waiting how they take things in stride. Many of them laughing about their rejection from Yale and sarcastically joking about their Audition for NYU MFA program that they failed at. They all were just like “anyhoo, who’s paying for lunch?” and it almost looked as if they were skipping down the hallway. I’ve noticed how chill my son is right now. I’m in full panic mode… waking up at 4am (even with sedatives last night UGH) and functioning today on a weeks worth of choppy sleep patterns. Today is report card pick-up and no school. I ask if he wants to go over monologues or song and he’s just like “I’m good, want to go to the movies later
Obviously, we need to take a que from from our kids playbook during this wait game or end up in the hospital due to stress (and a mental institution myself
@speezagmom So true! And I LOVE my weekends, but you are totally right! And nobody in my “real world” understands any of this. So glad I can come to this forum to regain some sanity. <3 Or at least to remind myself that I am not the only one going through this craziness!
@mtmamma2020 Thanks so much for sharing! I am definitely breaking open the wine this weekend. Maybe even tonight! And thanks for the reminder to breathe…it’s so easy to forget! Glad your D is loving it there! Sending virtual hugs!!
@actingdreams The kids definitely seem to be much better at this than we are! I’m with you on the choppy sleep. One day soon hopefully, we will get a good night sleep! Maybe!
@actingdreams OMG i thought I was the only one waking up at 4am!! the choppy sleepless nights! I do need to chill- maybe wine AND sedatives ??!! 
@Trish0118 I think it’s universal. My S is getting ready for his senior showcase; I am having very odd, fragmented dreams and mostly waking up in a cold sweat. Let’s hear it for the parents of artists 
@Trish0118 :)) welcome to the club. Wine may help!
@artskidsI’m starting to have small panic attacks… my kid is just looking at me like “Wth is wrong?”
I tell him to not worry, I’ve extracted all of the emotions that I thought he’d be feeling and acting out for both of us accordingly :))
Just got a No from Kent State. Still clinging to that one Yes from LIU!
on other news, My S was lucky enough to be accepted into the theatre department at our local university. Although he’s glad but not jumping up and down, I love the staff there and I just found out that the Theatre Head Yasen Peyankov has a very long list on IMDB with a few years on Madame Secretary, a favorite show of mine as well as a member of the Steppenwolf theatre. His next movie is in post-production. Yasen appears to know his stuff! I’m sure that their theatre department will really be on the map soon and I’m grateful that we have another great option
@mommaofdrama so sorry about Kent State! So happy that you have LIU! we only need 1 good one that our kids have an interest in
Hi! I have been reading your posts for a few weeks now and they have been helpful through this process. I did this professionally in movies, theatre and TV as a kid and never wanted my kids to be in theatre or acting due to how traumatic it was as a kid. But here I am, guess it runs in the family! She chose this for herself. but this is the feeling, the waiting, the rejection that is hard. Makes you tough but it is a painful road. I walked away from acting when I was 21 having done it since 9. Now watching my D go through the pain of the rejections is horrible. My father died a month ago as well so that is making all of us a little emotionally charged as well. She has two acceptances and a few rejections, still waiting on a few including her dream school. Part of me wishes she would just become a lawyer! This is excruciating! Thanks for listening!
OMG yes, BW MT Class of 2022 hopeful kid over here! Good luck all - nothing yet?
Emails out for BW
It’s a no for my daughter at BW…onward and best of luck to everyone!
Does anyone know if acting emails are out too - or just MT?
Acting will come later. Around the 15th.
