Jounals

I found today that they seem to make a journal for everything. My drama teacher said that I should write about my on screen acting experiences and start with the movie I'm in right now. Well, I thought it would be kind of cool to have a journal with maybe a train on it or even just look old, and not to big and not to small. I found journals for writing down trips, what you eat, journals for musicians, for left handed people, for poets, for drawing, and some with ridiculous pictures on the cover, but nothing affordable that looked old or anything! I guess I'll just have to keep my search going.

Irish Dancers

Last night we went to see the Irish dancers and I realized that I had seen them dance before at a Celtic day at the fairgrounds last summer. And some of the music played I have on my burned CD from my friend. It was awesome. We now have a lot to do this coming week with choreographing the dances for the musical. It's exciting!

The Spirit Game

Last night was our spirit game. We preformed really good. We won the girls game, lost the boys game, and lost the spirit trophy. That sucked. I ache so bad today from the performances yesterday. But tonight I get to go see Irish dancers with some of the other dancers from the musical.

Spirit

Tomorrow is my high schools big spirit game! We are practicing both half time shows all day tomorrow since we get out of school 2 hours early. I'm going to be exhausted tomorrow before the actual game even starts. After we practice for the game, I have musical practice for a few hours, then actually get to go home for about 45 minutes to have a snack. Then go back to school to preform for the game at both half times. I'm pretty excited but not looking forward to the practices. We also finished finals this week. How fun, NOT. But the high light of my week is that on Saturday night, the two teachers directing the musical are taking a select few of the main show girls (including me) to see Irish dancers. That is going to be awesome. I just can't wait to get time to sleep!

The Mess-ups and Suprises

Monday, we preformed one of our half time shows for the school. It was our fourth time preforming and the song we made our skit to was messed up. The band started playing in the middle and didn't tell us, so it was chaos and literally EVERYTHING that could go wrong DID. We were so embarrassed. Anyways I didn't audition for our high school musical because I didn't know how busy I would be, so I found I was good to go and told my drama teacher I could be and extra if she needed me and I have now ended up with a bigger part than the other extras who did audition. I am a one of the main Show Girls and have to learn 6 songs and dance to them while singing and learn a small speaking part. I find this very exciting! The play takes place on a cruise ship in the 1940's. So far in just 4 practices I have had to catch up to everyone else and then some, with learning a Waltz, an Irish Dance, a jazz dance to a song called Sing, sing, sing, and a jazz dance to the song Putin' on the Ritz and learn my vocal part as well. Good thing I'm a quick study. I've learned all this in 4 days and everyone else has been practicing for almost 3 weeks! But it'll be fun!

Busy

On Monday, I went to physical therapy for my wrist and he showed me that there was one stitch that wasn't dissolving and that if it popped out at all I needed to do was pull it out or he would. That is a creepy thought. That night, it popped out just a bit so I grabbed the tweezers and pulled it out. Didn't feel a thing but will never do it again. That was gross. Anyways, it's healing better now.
Today at school we had a two hour practice to get our spirit game skit down with everyone and have costume. It was the first time everyone got together and no one had any clue what they were doing because we just made the whole six minute skit just today to music the band will be playing and we preform for the elementary schools tomorrow to get them to come to the spirit game next week. The theme, Pirates of the Carrabean. I just so happen to be in the mascot outfit dressed like Jack Sparrow as the main character. I think I had to have sweated 10% of my body weight in that thing let alone get a headache from learning the whole thing in two hours for tomorrow. Talk about busy. I may even be taking the place of a show girl in our school musical and I'm two weeks behind. Lots to learn so little time to learn it. What can I say, I amaze myself sometimes. Hehe.

First Blog

Hi People! This is my first blog and I'm excited! This is the first weekend in two weeks I have had time to do anything. Been busy doing a movie called Transcontinental. That train is FREEZING! Wearing that corset is very difficult. But I love my job. Can't wait till we film again.
