Lemons and Lemonade
Today was a rather lack luster day. I spent most of it filling out applications in my hotel room while watching daytime television. I never, ever watch daytime television normally but in the few days that I've been here, I have found myself drawn to the soaps that I used to abhor. The plots are so convoluted and the characters so flawed inwardly yet so perfect outwardly…I'm beginning to understand their appeal. I suppose when I get a job, watching them will be out of the question. And, hopefully, I will have a job soon.
Yesterday, Quinn came home with a stack of applications and handed them to me, a grin adorning her face. I have no idea what she was so pleased about because, journal, these selections are deplorable. One was an application for a Subway! A Subway! Can you really imagine me, Rachel Berry, standing at the ready for each and every person who orders one of those cheap sandwiches? I think not, journal! I quickly discarded that one, then chose the more acceptable of the bunch. One was for a theater, which I don't find all that unappealing. Working in a movie theater is similar to being a star on Broadway, isn't it? This is not a direct comparison, by any means, but I am trying to make lemonade here since all I have are lemons.
Lemons…that reminds me. Yesterday, Tina wrote on my Facebook wall about how sorry she was that I hadn't been chosen to receive the scholarship at Julliard this year. Sorry? I highly doubt it! I'm sure that she wrote that on purpose, in a backhanded way of gloating that she was the one they had picked. Over me! How in any universe does that make sense? I am Rachel Berry! And she is just Tina Cohen-Chang. Julliard will rue the day they made that decision. Especially when my name is in lights and, in every interview, I inform the public that Julliard denied me a scholarship, giving it to Tina Cohen-Chang instead.
"Who?" they will ask.
Laughing, I will respond that Tina now works at a local Subway.
As it should be.
As it will be.
Rest assured, journal, that is not a guess but an accurate prediction of the future. Just you watch and see.
Signed,
Rachel Berry
