My Juilliard application is almost done. I selected all my pieces and am in the process of fine-tuning them. I’ll send you the videos once everything is recorded and finalized. There’s something I have to tell you though. I’ve decided I need a backup plan. Please don’t freak out, but I’m also applying to a cinema makeup school. You know how much I love that stuff, so I figured why not? That’s why I skipped school. I had a very brief window of time to create a portfolio. It won’t happen again.

Love,

Rebel Child,

Sorry, but I won’t go over your father’s head on this decision. If you can’t do the time, don’t commit the crime.

It’s so good to hear everything is finally coming together!!! I can’t wait to see what you picked out. I know you’ll blow me (and Juilliard) away.

Also, why would I freak out about you applying to a different school? I think it’s a great idea to keep your options open. As long as you’re happy, I’m happy. You’ll do great things no matter what you decide.

Love you lots.

Xoxo,

Mom

Hey stranger! How did your first week of touring go?

Galaxy Rider:

Pretty good. I only fainted onstage once.

Indie:

WHAT! Are you okay???

Galaxy Rider:

Lol gotcha!

How have things been on your end?

Indie:

Hilarious

Things here have been rainbows and sunshine.

Galaxy Rider:

I’m assuming you’re being sarcastic.
