ive had quite a past couple days.
tuesday morning i woke up, called barnes and noble to find out about fundraising opportunities for the drama club this year. they said they'd have the person in change of that call me back.
then i called my school. i talked to the event coordinator for freshman invasion and asked if drama club could have a performance during the auditorium presentation part of the day. she said she had to see the performance first to approve it and that i could come out any day this week before 3. for the next hour or so i tried to find what performance we were going to do. i wanted ian, emily, and ben to do a scene from present tense, but ben was out of town and i felt bad asking ian and emily to rememorize stuff over the summer. also, emily pretty much told me she didnt want to. that left me with two option, i could do a monologue or a solo. after searching through monologues, i decided that none of them were good enough and therefore i should do a solo insteed. im not going to buy a karyoke cd for this so i went through the ones i had. i decided on either Popular, of No Good Deed from Wicked. i sang both for emily and she said i should do no good deed. the decision was made! now i only had to practice.
then barnes and noble called back. i arranged for us to be wrapping presents during the holiday season for donations and hosting a talent night of sorts where we get 15% of the profits made during that time. hopefully we'll make some money.
then i decided that i was ready to perform for the event coordinator at school so i went there, sang my song, showed her something id typed up that i wanted to say before singing, and before i knew it she had not only approved both but i was also now going to be giving the student perspective on extra curricular activities. its cool though, cuz now she owes me. hopefully this will make scheduling drama events easier in the future.
then michael and i cleaned my car, then went to michael's uncle's birthday party.
wednesday was a bit more interesting. it started with me calling my riding instructor and leaving a message, just to say hi and im back in town. then i went to kinkos and bought some cool paper to make flyers for our con with. i also bought some poster board for freshman invasion. then i came home and made the con flyers. then my riding instructor called back. this is where it gets interesting. she called back to tell me that shes going to kick me off the farm because people were telling her i was, basically, abusing her horses when i was watching the barn while she was out of town. now ive been riding there for 9 years and not once have i purposefully hurt a horse. i would never purposefully hurt a horse, no matter what. anyone who knows me knows that. yet, she believed some random person, i have no idea who, she wouldnt tell me, and without even talking to me was ready to kick me out. she was going to send me a letting telling me i wasnt allowed back. now there are two things about this situation that i dont understand. first, why would someone make up stuff like that about me? i know everyone at the barn fairly well and i thought they were all my friends. second, why would my riding instructor, someone who has known and trusted me for 9 years, believe something like that? when i talked to her, i told her that it wasnt true, and then she told me her phone was dying and she'd have to call me back. that was over 24 hours ago. i dont know what to do. i love the barn, its been a huge part of my life for 9 years, yet i think im going to feel horrible every time i go there from now on. i dont want to leave the horses or the kids there that ive spent so much time with this summer and in years past, but i dont know. i cant believe this is happening.
