Callbacks!!

Today the callback list for Rumors was posted. I finally got a callback for a teacher directed show!! That's the first step! That makes me really excited. A lot of people wrote about it in my yearbook. I have a lot of competition though so that worries me. I'm not really expecting a role. I am just happy to be offered the opportunity to give it a shot. I suppose that is all for now. Ciao!

Things High School Has Taught Me

• You will never get enough sleep. Even if you take naps.
• Theatre may not be like what you first expect, but it's the best thing you will ever know.
• You should always try on your work, projects, and tests, but you won't always get an A.
• It's ok to have nights where you stay up all night and watch Sherlock Big Bang Theory your favorite show. Especially when it's raining.
• Baths fix everything.
• Be yourself. Someone will come.
• It's okay to use fandoms as a source of comfort. If it makes you happy and doesn't harm anyone- what could be wrong?
• Writing, acting, and reading are the best ways to "get away from it all."
• You can't make someone like you.
• It's okay to have sugary drinks in moderation, but water is always there. But eat as much candy as your heart desires.
• Study all you want, what really matters is listening in class.
• Stick with your friends that you know are there, not the ones you're unsure about.
• No matter how much you think "that should be me" it's not gonna make anything change. You've gotta make change yourself. Sometimes, there's nothing you can do, and that's one of the hardest things to accept. 
• Sweatshirts. are. your. friend.

Get Ready for Banquet with me.

  

How are youuuuu?

Hey. I am freaking out. Tomorrow is banquet. My friends are coming over afterwards. I am excited. What if I win an award. OMG.

Guys I'm Crying.

So I just got out of show circle. I cried. I NEVER cry ever. Particularly not in show circles. My gawd. It was awful and amazing at the same time. Feels. What are those.

 *LATER*

I can honestly say, I could not have asked for a more perfect night. Check Please! has been the most amazing experience I can think of. I got to know the most extraordinary people and really grow as an actor.
”If you were older and taller” has been swirling around in my head for hours. Being kissed on the forehead… tonight was very strange. Surreal. Perfect. I laughed, cried and nearly died. Being someone’s favorite freshman. What even. Coming into the cast of Check Please… a student direct… I had no idea. I got to know the most extraordinary people, play the most amazing characters. I wish I could thank each of my cast members personally. Check Please is my favorite show I’ve been in so far. Thanks everyone... for everything.

Second Show Night

So the audience was amazing tonight. They laughed at everything even if it wasn't funny. I actually did all of my lines correctly, and the only bad thing that happened was at the end, my bouquet got caught on my dress. It wasn't a huge deal though. My friends that came to see me were all juniors. Awk. My big buddy JK. said he was so proud of me. AM. said I was really good. My friend NB. sent me a candy-gram.  It was a really great night!
I couldn't be happier. I am really gonna miss Mary (my character). She is my best friend. I liked being Melanie too, but Mary is my spirit animal. Check Please has to be my favorite show I have been in so far.

HOLY JESUS IN HEAVEN ABOVE

GUYS I HAVE BEEN TYPING IN ALL CAPS FOR THE PAST HALF HOUR. I'm the top picture on the school newspaper. SO during show circle. C. told me that I was the ONLY one who was at every single rehearsal regardless, and that I was the one ring. Someone else went around the circle and described each person in one word. I was Middle-Earth. Tonight turned out to be really great. I even got flowers from my aunt/uncle.
Mood: Screaming

I'm a Rising Star

So today we had play previews. I had to change clothes 19 times today. I did my full Mary scene 6 times. At the end of the day, Caleb told me that at least one person from each class wanted to see more of me. I was like "No way. seriously?" He nodded. I ran into the dressing room and screamed into my sleeping bag. It was the best feeling ever. They liike me. They really like me. After that, Travis... the senior who gets cast in every show, told me my comedy was brilliant. IS THIS REAL LIFE?! Also I helped to choreograph some of my curtain call and it is adorable. I am really bouncing off the walls on the inside. Tomorrow is the show. I can't wait!!
