Finally Something Good
Well, this past week has been a doozy. Even though we had a day off from school on Monday, this week has gone by extremely slow.
Monday included fun times at Chuck E Cheese (about the only thing that went well until Saturday), running on an hour and a half of sleep, and a 6 hour dance team practice. Ok, dance team wasn't too bad, but the last 3 hours took their own sweet time. The first three were great. They sped on by. It was hard to believe we had been there for 3 hours already. But then the last three decided to hang around a while. That was frusterating.
Tuesday was school. And although it wasn't horrible, I was still suffering from lack of sleep. So I ended up sleeping through 2 classes....physics and history....both of which had subs and we weren't doing anything in them. After school was the first blocking practice for Crucible, however, I was not needed this day. I stayed anyway and slept and ate Subway.
Wednesday was ok.....it wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible. In english, we corrected our quotes for our essay. My quotes stunk, as did my topic sentences and thesis statement. I took a test in physics, which I know I failed because I had no idea what we were doing in that class unless I had someone to talk to to help me talk out the problems. We had a sub in drama and we got some cards taken away. But I got them back because the sub was nice like that. Dance team went ok. We got stuff done and I helped Heather create a word on the ground.
Thursday was the worst day ever. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Ok, I take that back....everything that could have gone wrong from lunch on went wrong (besides correcting a body paragraph in english 1st period,whcih made me sad). Sil yelled at me and even though she said she didn't balame me...she really did (enough said on that one. If you'd like to know, I'll tell you in person), a result from Sil's yelling was that the play ananlysis is due Monday instead of in like 3 or 4 or 5 weeks. I cried the rest of the day because of Sil....ok Sil plus other things, but mainly Sil. At play practice, I finally got to act. However, cards got me in trouble yet again. Linda is starting a rule where the guys and girls cannot play with eachother when they aren't on stage...this is to increase the separation so that the characters can seem more rea and easier to play. Dance team danced at a game. Before the game Heather talked about how someone had talked really loud about Century's team and said a lot of bad stuff about them and that the coach and another team member heard that person. I felt guilty because it might have been me....though we wen're talking that loud and we were saying good things about Century's team too. As for teh dance itself....it went well. I was irritated though because I wanted to stay and watch the game, but instead I ran to the studio to try and catch the end of RCB so that I could perform on Saturday. I got to RCB in time to dance one dance. I find out that I can't do a solo because I won't be able to be at practice exactly on time because I have Solo/Ensemble on that day and would be 30 minutes late max. Really the only reason for me going to the performnac eon Saturday is to perform a solo and the dance I had choreographed because I don't know the other ones too well. They probably look better without me in them anyway. So that made me irritated. And then that night I had a mental break down and a long talk with my parents.
Friday was ok. I felt not as bad...but that was because the group of us who got in trouble with Sil appologized and even thoguh the play analysis is still due Monday, I feel better knowing I appologized. I just wrote in past and present tense...all in one sentence. And that's fine. Anywho, voice lessons went ok. Pretty much everything that day was just ok.
Saturday came around and it went from chaos to relaxation adn the part where something good finally happened. I woke up bright and early for Solo/Ensemble. Picked up Nathan, Matt, and Mark. Drove to Jesuit. Listened to CHrista. Sang with Encore. Sang my solo (I felt like crap singing it, but it sounded good so say the spectators and the camera). Went to lunch. Almost died driving (ok not really, but I wasn't the best driver at lunch). Sang with Starlights. Drove to the studio. Performed. Didn't do too bad. Drove back to Jesuit to check the scores but as a detour met Kirsten, Nathan, matt, and Vicki at Starbucks (it took a while to find which Fred Meyers they were talking about). Drove to Jesuit to check the scores for reals. Found out I got a 1+!!!! Waited around forever and all eternity to find out Christa's scores and if either of us were going to State. After a long wait...I find out I am going to State and am 1st in Districts! Drive back to my house where Christa is watchign Anastasia and Charlotte was there too. After watching the whole show, Christa, Kirsten, Arrio, Ryan, Nathan, and I pile into my car and we head to Theatre in the Grove to see Noises Off. As I go to drop people off, we find TV highway has been blocked off on a stretch of road due to an accident. Interesting. I make it home safely.
That leaves today. Arrio and his family were supposed to come to the 8:30 service, but don't. They don't even come to Sunday School. Well, instead they came to the 10:30 service. So I went to church twice. Then, I had a Black Elk Speaks play analysis party at my house. We talked about ideas for our play analysis. It was most helpful. Then people left. And I was alone and working on the play analysis and my Denny essay. Well bith my play analysis and my essay are crap, but oh well. I'm sure Sill will let us fix them, since she doesn't want us to fail our IB tests. And the Denny paper isn't due until Tuesday. It is just the rough draft due tomorrow.
Well....that is it. Good night. I am so glad that the week came to a peaceful end.
