Hey Everybody!
West Ed was soooooo cool! I thought i would be bored since most days, i'm not big on shopping but it was sooo much fun! I got 2 new shirts and a really cute hat. I didn't, however, get much sleep. While we were there, we saw the Sea Lion show, shopped (obviously) and at the end, we were getting so bored so we went to see a movie and we saw Step Up. BEST MOVIE EVER! Well maybe not quite but it was really good! I came out of the theatre and i just wanted to dance!
Today alone, i found $0.79 on the floor at school! I am soooo happy that i can find that much money in one day! Also, today during gym class, my 3 friends Hannah, Julia, Alyssa and I played Hannah's Favorite game. It was pretty awesome especially because we had a sub so he didn;t know our names so he couldn't yell at us to get moving or anything like that cuz we were kinda playing in the middle of a soccer game. :)
The Gifts of the Magi is in full swing. On Sunday from 7-10, we had a rehearsal and we blocked the entire first act! In the theatre, there are 3 boxes at differnt levels that act as an office, Jim and Della's appartment and Mme. Safroni's shop. Behind those, there is some scaffloding which we call the bridge. It is about 8-10 feet off the ground. So, i don;t do heights very well anyways so the Drama teacher was telling us where we would start and sing the first song and inside my head I'm going "Please not the bridge! Please not the bridge!" And guess where i sing the whole first song? You guessed it: THE BRIDGE! It wouldn't be so bad except that the play is set in 1905 and so i have to get up there and stay up there in a big floor length skirt and 2 inch heels! Ugh. Plus, my opposite in the play decided not to show up for rehearsal on Sunday so now at the next rehearsal which is tomorrow, i will have to catch him up on everything! That made me kinda mad but i'm also super excited cuz i love doing this whole play thing soooo much! The whole cast is sooooo nice and they are tons of fun to work with. There are only 2 other grade 9 kids one of which is my opposite and the other is my friend and then there is 1 grade 8. He is the main character (Willy) and he is soooo cool. The rest of the cast is older than me though so i just love working with them cuz they are all fairly involed in the drama dept. so they are experienced. I will definately post pictures of the play after it runs!
So... I guess that's it for today!
