I'm having serious doubts, though, I really don't want to go...after the one that I had for Boston University today, I'm seriously doubting as to whether this is for me or not. Boston's program is very rigorous and if I choose to go into the Acting (vs. Theatre Arts) program, my schedule is pretty much written out for me each year with little lee-way. The average amount of hours that a Freshman puts in during the week is about 40 and Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors put in about 70-80. There's absolutely no room to Double Major or Minor as an Acting major because of how rigorous it is and that scares me, because that leaves me with no back-up should I go out and attempt to make Acting a career. I'm just unsure as to whether this will really make me happy or not and when I think forward to this audition tomorrow, the only thing that comes to mind is "I really don't want to go." Should I take that as a sign that I really don't belong in this field or do I just have cold feet and I should just go through with it anyway? Help? =/
