Today was the final performance of my school's fall play. Everything went great. In fact, it was probably the best of the three performances. It was the only one that I wasn't extremely nervous before too. I'm glad everything went so well.
I'm a little sad that the play's over because I had so much fun being a part of it. At the same time, I'm glad it's over. It took up a ton of time, and I was staying up way to late to get homework done and doing other stuff. I'll have much more free time now, and I won't be rushing to get my homework done so I can sleep. It'll be nice.
Today has been a long day. This whole week has been long. After today's performance, we had to strike the stage, put all of the props up, and take the set apart. It took a little while, but not that long especially compared to how long it took to make.
I'm extremely tired. This weekend definitely wasn't a refreshing one. Funnily enough, I'm looking forward to this week because I'll actually have free time after school and I'll be getting more sleep than I have been. It'll be nice.

Barefoot in the Park: Opening Night
Today's been a long day, so I'm going to try and keep this short. Things were pretty uneventful during school today. The most noteworthy things were that we got our Key Club shirts (which look so awesome), and some of us got free ice cream during lunch. Other than that, nothing that happened during school really sticks out.
After school, however, is a different story. Tonight was the first performance of our fall play: Barefoot in the Park. In case you didn't know already, I'm on stage crew. I wasn't nervous at all at school today. I didn't really start getting nervous until I showed up at the school at five o'clock. I was so scared I was going to screw something up and ruin the play. Luckily, nothing like that happened. Before the play and all during the first act, I was in one of those moods where I was laughing at absolutely everything because I was so nervous. I finally calmed down by the time it was intermission.
Everyone in the audience seemed to enjoy it. Haley and Jordan seemed really excited about it when I saw them afterward, and they've even posted great comments on facebook. Ji also told me it was good although she wasn't as hyper about it, and everyone else seemed to have enjoyed it. I think everyone did a great job. I know a lot of the actors were nervous in the beginning, but they were great. I just hope tomorrow and Sunday's performances go just as well as tonight's.

The Newspaper Article and Stage Crew
I never posted about this on the blog (because I was freaking out about it so much), but I somehow ended up writing a column for the local newspaper. They wanted a kid from each school in the area to write about stuff happening at that school. My yearbook teacher and friends thought I should do it. This all happened a couple of weeks ago, but the issue with the first article in it came out yesterday. I had several people tell me today that they'd read it and enjoyed it. The secretary at the middle school even mentioned it when I went over there for peer tutoring. She'd only asked what my name was a few days ago. I didn't think she remembered it! I'm a little embarrassed. I mean, everyone's said good things about it, but of course the would in front of me. I'm so paranoid about it.
It's so hard to write posts about just general life stuff now because of play practice. By the time I get home, I'm worn out and have forgotten most of the day. I could write about play practice, but there's really nothing to say. I'm not great at building things, so I'm the one doing the small, random jobs, such as holding something or searching for different props and things. I'm really happy I joined crew, but it doesn't give me much to blog about.
One random tidbit that might be interesting: there's apparently a ghost up in the passage way that leads from the costume/prop room to the place where the lights and stuff are controlled. I haven't actually been past the costume room and I haven't heard the footsteps that everyone else claims to hear (even when I'm in there alone). I'm not really sure if I should believe everyone or not. One girl claims she was chased once. We'll see how I feel in a month. I can say that that area is creepy, so I can see why people would believe there's a ghost there.
I usually look forward to Saturdays because I get to sleep in, but that's not happening tomorrow. Why? At three a.m. my mom and I are leaving to drive up to Indianapolis to visit Marian University. Marian isn't one of my top choices for a school, but I definitely think I'm applying there. It should be interesting. Although, the long car right in the wee hours of the morning may be even more interesting thanks to sleep deprivation. Here's to hoping I can get some sleep in the car.
