So it's come at last...
...At last it's come! The day I knew would come at least has come at last! (WHY do I still remember that?)
But either way, I'm finally done with school. I had just been coasting along for a while, kinda indifferent, but now I'm finally feeling that senioritis impatience that so many people have had for a long time now. But now that my future is set (for the next 4 years or so anyways), I can finally just relax. And I must say, it's a nice feeling not freaking out about grades and etc. all the time. Very nice.
The only thing that's bothering me is the fact that I won't be doing anything musically inclined in college. Because...I'm supposing I just don't have enough experience. Or I could just not be very good. Either way. I'm sure I'll still keep singing, but as I'm sure most people know, when so many people tell you you're not good at something, you tend to start thinking they might have a point. But oh well. I'll just keep rolling along (no pun intended) and wait to see what happens. But you know it's funny: the more I get turned down, the more I begin to remember what I loved about music/singing in the first place. But if nobody wants to listen, what good does it do me? But that's not funny at all. That's sad.
Oh, bother. Now I just depressed myself.
Although I know no one from Atholton reads this, I just wanted to say kudos to all the wonderful fabulous leads in Merrily. They were spectacular. But get ready. I'm about to be a theatre snob real quick.
SO, it seems more and more that people in our generation simply want a razzle dazzle show with lots of glitter and fluff. So much so that they can't appreciate the heart and message in such a brilliant Sondheim show as Merrily. There's this kid in my music theory class who I every day want to smack who was talking about how boring Merrily was. And he's not the only one I've heard express this opinion. I don't understand how you can not take something away from a show like Merrily. Even if you don't like the music, or the actors, or the set, or the lighting and happen to be spoiled rotten by the JRT, you can still appreciate a show for it's heart. And for a school attempting to put on a show you don't see every day. It's just absurd how little tolerance people have for subtle things that don't reveal themselves with spectacular bangs and whistles. And it makes me a little mad.
But anywho, tomorrow is Culture Day! But all I'm really excited for is the Irish dancing. Because Riverdance used to be my life as a kid and I still love watching it!
8 1/2 school days until BT '07!!!!!
34 1/2 school days until...WE'RE OUT OF SCHOOL???
Crazy.
EDIT: John Tartaglia as Lumiere?????? I THINK YES.
...Yes, I do stalk him. I CAN'T HELP MYSELF.
