What a day!

So i went to school today. Blah, blah, blah, i learned stuff....blah, blah, blah, I'm a senior now (WOOH!). 'Nuff said. Anyway, i can't wait til the end of the day at 3:15 when i can go to drama class. We just recently started working on our fall play and it is The Miracle Worker. This show discusses the relationship between Helen Keller and her teacher Annie Sullivan, along with the Keller family. It is a very touching story. Anyway, I'm Annie Sullivan :D I'm pretty excited because this is my first lead role. YAY! So today we did the scene when Annie and Helen first meet. Yeah, that is not a nice first meeting. Things go well until Annie takes away Helen's doll. Helen slaps Annie, Annie forces her into a chair and sits on her, Helen tries to slap her again and misses, Helen Hits Annie with a doll therefore knocking out one of her teeth. You know, the usual fight between a student and her teacher. Unfortunately, the girl playing the other Annie (the show is double cast) wasn't there today so, Lucky me!, i got to do this for TWO hours. Well if i want to go into theater, i gotta be prepared for this, but still it was tiring. Not to mention that the girl playing Helen is a little ball of fire and stronger than she looks, quite literally knocking me down every time she swings at me. But she's a good Helen. As is the other Helen. As a matter of fact, i think everyone involved in this show is good. Small school, BIG talent. Well i have some fabulous tests coming up and if i want to graduate, and god do i want to graduate, i best get a move on. So goodbye everyone...i will talk to you soon :)
