Well, I auditioned.

[silentstep]

I read the part of Aunt Abby, a sweet little old lady who murders people. I didn't think that I did all that well- I kept forgetting to act old, to have facial expressions, to project my voice, not to turn away from the audience, not to block other characters from the audience, not to be blocked by other characters, to react to what the other characters are saying, etc., etc. I want to make the excuse that I was nervous, but I really wasn't, I was just unprepared. But Mrs. Styka asked me to come to call-backs tomorrow, so I guess she thinks that I can do better. I hope that I'll actually have time to work some on this, because if I have any sort of chance at all, well, I want to take it. I don't know that I'd actually stay on if I get a minuscule part, because then the time commitment and stuff might not be worth it. If I get a good role I'll be overjoyed. But I'm not going to get my hopes up. There are a ton of people who auditioned and who did much better than I. So I just thought I'd share. I'm glad that our school has a play as well as a musical, for several reasons. First of all, I can't sing. Second, I can't dance. And third, if you don't make it in, you don't end up stuck in the chorus putting in all that time and work for next to nothing. So that's that. I have to go do homework now, because I have three tons.

Also- Mike, someone, tell me that I'm not just stupid and that we really didn't learn the stuff in the webassign? I'm assuming it's in the book, right? It's not stuff that I'm meant to have learned in class? Because it's all completely alien and really frightening. Also, is it just me or is it really, really intimidatingly long?

Goodbye.
