I’m so glad to read all of this great, calming stuff. Being the Logistics Coordinator is VERY stressful, isn’t it? Between keeping track of the audition appointments, making flight and hotel reservations, nagging about the Personal Statements, sending in the SAT scores, bugging the school about sending transcripts, reminding D to bug teachers about sending LORs, updating the spreadsheets with “completion dates” and figuring out the logistics of filming for those prescreen DVDs, I feel like I’ve taken on a full-time job! Oh, and let’s not forget the nagging about making sure she’s eating right and getting enough sleep!

I am very much looking forward to traveling together with D to auditions. She’s doing 4 on-campus auditions, (well, 5 if she passes one of the pre-screens) plus Unifieds in Chicago and L.A. One of the on campus auditions is the weekend before Chicago so we actually only are making 3 trips (we live in L.A.) so I’m really hoping for some quality fun, “girl time.” Just getting all the logistics figured out will take so much stress off, so maybe we can just have fun and not be butting heads all the time about getting stuff done!

And while I was the one who started the “have you gotten started” thread, we have stalled big time on 3 Personal Statements and 2 pre-screen dvds. D is SO busy with school and a CLO show she decided to do at the last minute that she simply hasn’t had time to come up for air. This week will be better but it sure has raised my stress level! I needed to hear that in the grand scheme of things, it’s still “early” in the process.
