WARNING: ALL OF MY POSTS WILL NOW BE IN AN APPROXIMATION OF AP STYLE
I'm taking a journalism class at my school. It's pretty awesome. I like the teacher and I have a few friends in the class. Also, I enjoy interviewing people. The one problem is that I don't know anybody really. Except people in drama club.
Where, by the way, we're putting on a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." We had a pretty big setback before vacation: half the cast got sick with norovirus.
You see, we got Olive Garden food catered the night before the show. Actually, the father of a cast member got it catered, at pretty big expense. About a half-hour after eating, the puking began. This was right before we started rehearsing Act I. At the end of Act I, five people had fallen ill.
Our director learned of this, and the green room stunk a lot (I almost threw up from the smell), so he canceled the rehearsal and told all of us to go home and get better.
We went home, but we didn't get better.
The next morning, we had school off in order to put a show on for the elementary school kids. Only half the cast showed up, and a few people who did show up were still throwing up. The director sent the sick kids home again, and the rest of us went to class, hoping that we'd be able to do that night's show.
It was canceled. Maybe Friday and Saturday, then?
Kids were still sick Friday and Saturday.
We took vacation off, except for one rehearsal on Monday, and did some major work figuring out when people would be free to do a show. The only three days that were free until it would be too late were Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
So those are the shows we are doing.
Now a more personal scheduling problem is becoming apparent for me.
Friday night is the last show, so after that show we will have a cast party. That historically goes pretty late. Saturday morning I'm taking the SATs, and Saturday evening is prom. Sunday morning my AP Spanish class is taking a practice AP test, and Sunday afternoon I may be rehearsing with my band.
There goes my weekend.
Not that I'm doing anything against my will; not at all! I'm really excited for the end of the shows; it's always a really fun and bittersweet time. I'm also happy that I'm finally taking the SATs again, and I'm looking forward to prom. The AP test I agreed to, and the rehearsal is necessary.
I'm going to be operating on not a whole lot of sleep.
Here goes nothing!
