Wet monologue

I had another "incognito" audition today. I call it that, because it's for belonging to a theater, not for a particular role.
This one was scheduled for 9:10 this morning, so despite the snow storm outside,I made my way out.
I took the subway(I almost wrote "metro."Apparently, here it's subway:) up to certain point and then walked. It wasn't a pleasant one. The snow was falling right into my eyes, and the wind made it impossible for me to defend myself with the umbrella.But I made it, half wet, still in one piece. I was thinking:"My monologue is going to be horrible. I didn't have any coffee, I'm so wet, and hurried..."
I was a bit late, 10 minutes or so. Luckily, it didn't matter.
This pleasant looking woman in her very late 30s or early 40s escorted me to a room. After a brief chat, I started warming up my monologue. And surprisingly, it was better than ever! Maybe I should always act early in the morning, and wet:) I guess it was just the experience I'm getting from the auditions and my acting classes. Also, it has to do with the level of confidence.
So, she said it was very good,and that we will definitely be in touch!This troupe has four productions a year. Things are looking well.
