And, its coming along.

I apologize I haven't written in this lately at all.


SO heres whats new with my life:
I have realized that I am a really busy person, and I learned that the outlet of escaping that stress other than theatre( because theatre brings stress.) is helping other people.
I have a friend who has been in the hospital for a few weeks because she has been diagnosed with a serious disease that she has recently been living with, but its going through some tough spells. She has gotten out, but it on medication that is really messing with her body physically and mentally. I realized that no one has noticed her absence from school, except me. I made a huge attempt to make contact with her, and finally got a hold of her. And she cried, because she had been depressed that no one has been talking to her, shes been alone and just been in schoolwork. Then it hit me, the smallest thing to one person could make or break someones day. Now, I have become much more aware of every action I'm making, and putting forth new effort to help my friends and make more contact with them. Life lesson learned.


Moving over to theatre (since that is my life nowadays) my school is presenting CLUE THE MUSICAL . Yesterday was that dreaded audition day. The was treated to a formal audition, and so like any other audition, we were all given a number. Our director explained, this number is your name. If you plan on having a career in this feild, that's all you may be is a number to people. They will not know you by first and last name, they wont care what your feelings are about the audition, they don't care if your prepared or not, they only care about your performance. This struck me as the the norm for what I hear in theatre classes. But then I began thinking, I am so lucky I have this opportunity to have an audition with people who actually care about my outcome. Oreforming inront of someone who knows my previous talents, and will critique me, but also inform me of what they wrote down, instead of worrying about a callback or not and not knowing why if you didn't get one. So on we went wit the auditions; I preformed "anything goes" and did a Broadway jazz dance to it. We preformed in front of judges which included a stagecraft class, most made up of people not involved in theatre whatsoever, and four teachers. After the audition we were told to sit in the hall, while our scores were added up. Afterwords our numbers were separated into makes and females and posted from top score to lowest. I turned out to be the top scorer and tied for best overall performance, YEAH! Cast list will be posted sometime soon, so Ill be updating on what part I was cast as.


As for choir, I haven't been enjoying it too much, but after our concert today for the Roterie Club I realized what being part of Staley High School Chamber Choir is all about. Its about representing Staley High School with our voices, and sharing something really special to show the community. We are becoming a singing family, and Im really happy that im becoming part of it.

I have been pushing myself so much this year. I am in an advanced theatre class, advanced dance classes for me, and in our schools top choirs. I know this will be a year of learning, and let me tell you, its working. I have a feeling that even though this year went through a rough start, it cant be that bad. Yeah school work will be harder, but that was expected. Theatre will be fun, I just haven't thought it was because we haven't done anything yet. The school, dance, choir thing is starting to come together for once, and its all panning out. I cant tell you how excited I am that this year is getting better. I really am blessed with all the opportunity I have been given this year.
