I can finally say with absolute certainty (I didn’t know exactly how long we had before) that there is less time in between now and the start of summer break than the length of summer break. That means I no longer have to think, “Yay, I only have to wait this long until summer, but if that time is so short that means summer will be short as well”. It’s a good thing too, because with spring break gone, there are no more breaks left to look forward to. Yeah, now I get to look forward to exams.

I am now extremely annoyed at the fact that we have about 10 pages of peving to do for every history class in the near future. I also hate wasps. And bees. I don’t really care which is which, they don’t sting. But wasps look meaner. I actually spent about half an hour yesterday hunting wasps to find their nest, not that at any point I got within 10 meters of any of them. On an even less pleasant note than that, my chemistry teacher called on me today! The nerve! I thought we had an unwritten deal - I get good grades in chemistry, and she pretends I’m not enrolled in her class. Ah, these young teachers; they don’t understand how things work!

Well, after two weeks of embarrassment during auditions, draft scares and stressful moments when I have to stay after school and have no way of delaying my parent’s arrival at school, Dessert Theatre auditions are finally over. The cast list was posted today - Tyler and I both got in. Of course, I don’t know anyone else in my scenes. It sucks that only 25 people got in, everyone that tried out on the days I did was hilarious. We’re also going to find out which 1 act plays we are in in Intro on wednesday - that’s going to be fun. I also like that they’re going to be our exams. Speaking of exams, I’m not sure if I can exempt certain ones or not. I’ve had quite a few absences this quarter, particularly in French and English (the exams I was planning on skipping).

How is it that I miss all the cool things that happen in Virginia? Naturally, Moby is in Ashland right now, and once again, I can’t attend the rare thing that happens in Virginia that is actually kind of cool. All I need now is for Miyazaki to visit Virginia and for me to be in summer PE or something (not that Miyazaki would come to Virginia as there isn’t any reason for him to do so). Oh, I saw The Ring 2 over break. I don’t know if I liked the original better or not, it was definitely more well done. It dealt with more than just the, “let’s show them scary pictures of Daveigh Chase and call it a day” in the first, which I found entertaining, but not on the level the sequel was. It was the same director who did the Japanese versions, and that was cool. It’s late now, and I have a terrifying test on Romeo and Juliet tomorrow that won’t be over for another 14 hours.

grr dessert theatre… i envy you so. i have been missing from the theatah scene from too long and now i have to wait even longer. hmph

The thing about Dessert Theatre is that the senior directors usually aren’t quite as open minded as Mr. Small. They’re going to pick people they know, even if they try not to. In other words, all the theatre people (the seniors and juniors, anyway) get in, and then some of the people the directors know get in (the directors have seen them in things before, even if they aren’t in most things, so it’s like they get a bunch of extra callbacks to audition). Of course, you get to be a director, and that’s really cool (not to mention something nice to put on a resume if you ever want to direct dessert theatre…).

i have to remind myself that i’m teching again and this time i’m assisting colin. i’m not going to be depressed that i didnt get into dessert theater. there is next year, and junior year, and senior year. thats not even mentioning the other plays.

ohmm
