The show is over!

Wow...It's hard to believe that after eight weeks of hard work, the whole thing is over. I'm really happy with our performance both nights but I would have loved to do another show.

I can not wait until auditions for Fiddler. My mom says I have to stay on top of my school work or else I can't audition so that will be motivation for me.

Now I have fully experienced my first High-school play....CANT WAIT TO DO ANOTHER

THIS IS IT!

Well, we have rehearsed, and rehearsed, and rehearsed, and rehearsed, and rehearsed a little bit more, and we are finally there. Tomorrow is opening night...WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOO!

ALL I HAVE TO DO NOW IS LEARN TO SPEAK UP... I NEED TO SPEAK IN A LOUD VOICE SO ALL OF THE NICE PEOPLE WHO PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THEIR SEETS CAN HEAR ME.

But seriously...working on this play has been an amazing experience and i am so happy that i was able to work with such a great caste and a director as good as Rob. He is the man!

Thank you to everyone who helped put this show together...Ok guys...LETS DO IT!

We are almost there!

Tomorrow is our final rehearsal for the show, and let me say...i am nervous as fuck! I really dont have anything to be worried about because i know most of my stuff. I always feel this way before a show...its not really a bad nervous..jsut nervous. One reason i think im nervous is because my girlfriend is going and she has never seriously seen me act before so i hope i do well!

We did our first speed run today...HOLY CRAP THAT WAS FUN! I love speed runs! they just bring my energy WAY WAY WAY WAY up for the scenes!

CANT WAIT TILL OPENING NIGHT!

STEEEEVE

I love steeves writing workshop. I really like the things he is teaching us. Today we read through a few peoples scripts and gave them pointers and suggestions how to make it better. I really like the thing he taught us about talking about one thing but haveing a convorsation about something that has nothing to do with the words that you are saying i can write some really fun scenes that way...again its late and my mom is yelling at me to go to bed so i need to cut this short. I cant wait untill we get to my script!

Hell week begins...

Got home at 9:30 did all my homework...not i have exactly five minuts to blog because my mom is yelling at me to go to sleep and get off of the damn computer.

Now i see why its called hell week. Tonight we were working until late and it got tiring. To deal with this all and doing my homework will be difficult but i think i can do it.

ugh...there is mom yelling again.got to cut extra short tonight.night bloggiepoo

Thinking of a title for my enteries is becoming continuously more difficult.

I FORGOT TO BLOG YESTERDAY! NOOOOOOOO!
I forgot to blog yesterday and now i am quite pissed off at myself. I now know i need to try twice as hard to fit it in to my day at a regular time.

Well, hell week starts tomorrow. Now i have to keep up on all my school work, while being at rehearsal every night until 8:30...I CAN DO IT!

I had a very good day today, because i was allowed to go out and do things. the only way i can do that is if i stay un-grounded. My mission is to stay ungrounded so i keep having good days (and my mission is also to not forget to blog)

OMG THE DINING ROOM!

okokokokokokok SO....Today was our first rehearsal in the actual set with the lights and everything and our first real run-through. And it was.....PHABULOUS. The set just adds this amazing energy to everybody and makes us do better. I am so incredibly excited for opening night (which is a week from tonight) and am really happy that i got to work with such an awesome cast on this show. I SO FUCKING EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!

(Now i just have to memorize my lines!)

Another blog...

Thanks for reminding me Luke!

I have to make today's blog quick because blogger is blocked on my computer and my mom wants her computer back...

I cant wait to start the workshop tomorrow with steve (i dont know how to spell his last name) I though what luke taught us on tuesday was really cool i want to see where steve wanted to go with all that. Though i am not exactly a writer or a film-maker, i really enjoy this because now when i watch a movie i can say to myself "oh thats plotpoint one" and its really cool for me to know that.

I love where the STAC t-shirts are going this year. My group came up with a pretty good one but we saw a bunch of other good ideas so its ok if we dont win as long as we have a good t-shirt :)

Goodnight bloggiepoo...i have to go cause mommy needs her computer back

WEDNSDAY

I am SOOOO glad that I had the day off today. I needed a day to relax. I can not wait until opening night of the dining room. the play is coming along PHABULOUSLY and should turn out to be really good.

on another note... i like the feeling of getting things done...my english essay is done even though its not due till monday and i like that. I dont hove to worry about it any more and i can just do things. I really feel good about this quarter. Like last night, i really do not have much to talk about right now so...goodnight bloggiepoo

...

Well, I sure am having trouble thinking about what to write about today because I am increadably tired and I just need to sleep. I am soooo excited for opening night of the Dining Room which is coming up fast. Other than that, i do not have much else to say tonight.

The New Quarter Begins!

Well, I made it through the first day of second quarter without getting in trouble. And now I can say that I'm pretty proud of myself. I love Luke's idea of thinking as the new quarter as a "rebirth". I leave all the crap from first quarter behind me and now it's time for a "DO OVER!". The activity we did today in STAC really was fun for me because it got me thinking about all of the things that I will be able to "do over" in the new quarter. I wiped all of my shit from first quarter out of my head, and started focusing on the present and working on making a better future for myself until the next time I am reborn.

DO OVER!

The first of my daily blog enteries.

Well, my second quarter in the high school starts tomorrow, and I am glad. I guess you could call my first quarter here in the HS a bit of a "disaster". I forgot assignments, blew off/procrastinated on all of my school work, and then had the balls to lie to my parents about it. Sadly for me, in this new age of technology, there is a little thing called E-mail where all my teachers can contact my parents and let them know about all of the work that I didn't do. I don't know why I have not learned my lesson yet, considering that I have been in the same situation on and off since the seventh grade; however, I keep digging myself into this hole again and again. Each time I do, the end result is always the same...I get grounded. Now, I don't like to be grounded. I'm sure that most people feel the same way, but now some of my teachers say that I need a support class like i had throughout almost all of middle school. I don't really mind being in a support class. I do not care if people think I'm special ed, but a support class requires a free period. I am a freshman STACie, so my schedule is absolutely full during the day. Now, my teachers have thought about this and came up with one simple solution...to leave STAC. When Ms. McManus brought this subject up to me my answer was just, "NO" , but my parents say that if second quarter is a repeat of first, then that will happen. That is one of the last things I want. Not only do I get in trouble, but now that I am in high school, my grades actually count for something. Even though I understand all of the meterial, I have low grades because of homework. So if I want to go to college, I better get my act together while I am still a freshmen.

With second quarter starting tomorrow, Luke suggested writing something on my blog every day for a little while to help me disiplin myself. I think this will help me because half my problem is that I dont have the self-disiplin to tell myself when its time to put down my guitar, sign off of facebook, and start my homework. This is the first of those daily enteries. I have already started my task of staying ahead on second quarter. (I actually did my english homework even though it's not due untill tuesday. Like ohhhh my gawd!) I think the biggest thing problem that I will face this quarter is my battel with procrastination. I procrastinate to the point where it's unrealistic to get the assignment done in the ammount of time that I leave myself. My guidence counceler is also putting me on weekly progress reports that will be E-mailed to my parents every week so I can't lie to get myself out of trouble and I just have to take it like a man untill I learn to do the work.

I'm optomistic about second quarter and hope that it turns out for the best.
