Thank goodness this week is over.

I’ve been feeling so tired and drained and for the first time during this whole entire month, I finally got some sleep. Saturday for me was so relaxing and calming because I got a chance to sleep in all I want and when I woke up, I’d mostly go on my laptop and listened to pandora or go on my phone to talk to people. I don’t know about you, but that sounded relaxing to me considering that I was in my bed all day. Being too involved can be super tiring, but worth it in the end. I need to learn how to stop complaining so much. Let me explain what this busy week for homecoming consisted of.

For this whole entire week, I had to make posters for our buildings, consistently change the Morning Madness schedule, play the games for Morning Madness (just to make sure they’re safe), stay after school for rehearsals, and then come home to homework that needed to be done as soon as possible so I could get some shut eye. For me, it’s super hard trying to manage time and I mainly think it’s because I can be a super unorganized person. How do people even know how to manage time with so many things going on at once? Someone teach me please. Since homecoming week is finally done, I have all day today to get work done.

I feel really accomplished about the Morning Madness Rally and it was really cool to see myself on the news! I hate how my voice sounds on video though it sort of creeps me out that I sound like that in person. Anyways, I can’t believe how nerve wrecking it was to speak in front of huge crowd considering that acting in front of huge audience doesn’t seem so difficult to me. I think it’s because I was able to see everyone in the crowd because in the theater when we perform, the audience is usually in the dark where I can’t see anyone. My MCs were super helpful though! I really appreciate Lance and Kristy helping me. Lance knew how to get the crowd going and Kristy was experienced so she knew what the crowd wanted to hear. The flash mob that happened towards the end was super fun! I’m so glad I got to be a part of that. Hopefully I find someone who recorded the whole entire thing. Throughout the whole entire day afterwards, I had butterflies to see what a success the rally was. I appreciate everyone who helped and attended the rally. It made me super happy. By the way, I finally got my certificate of completion in the mail for drivers ed! I can’t wait to take my permit test!

Here are the two who helped me speak at the rally (:

I can’t wait to get on the road soon!

A Piece of My Heart was a Success.

WE’RE FINALLY DONE WITH THIS PLAY! I’ve never been so emotionally drained in my life. This play made me seem so bipolar because of all the scene changes and going from one emotion to the other. It was simply too tiring to handle. To be honest, I’m happy that I got to be a part of this. Sure this show has had its pro and cons but man what an experience this was. Drama usually does a lot of comedy plays and I actually realize why now. Comedies are way more easier than dramatic plays. That’s just in my opinion. There really isn’t much of a difference besides the emotions you put into make a dramatic play good. Castanon said that the reason why he wanted to do this play this year was because he finally found the right group of girls who could handle it. Let me list these pros and cons to being a part of this play.

There were many pros to it and I feel like the pros are more significant than the cons. For the first time ever, I became close to a group of girls without feeling socially awkward. Don’t get me wrong I also have girl friends aside from the ones in drama, but the thing is the girls in drama are a whole together. We did everything together during this play. We went out to eat, nap at each other’s houses, got into circles to share secrets and rehearse lines, and grew a bond with one another as the play was coming together. Nothing is better than that to me. I’ve always felt as if I’ve never belong with a certain group or certain people and being with them made me feel like I was at the right place. This was also my first speaking role and main role for a play. I felt so proud of myself for getting so far with not much experience as the rest of the group. Even if this play was all seriousness, we’ve made inside jokes from it and unforgettable memories with all of this stress that the play brought us. Man I could have sworn there were more pros to this play but I guess there really isn’t much. Maybe the pros were the fact that our bond together has grown ever since the play began. I guess that’s all that really matters to me since it is the best part of being a part of this.

Now I can get started with the cons. I was totally stressed out, but I only had myself to blame for that. I was moving unexpectedly, I didn’t manage my time wisely considering how involved I am in school, and I was being the same procrastinator/slacker I’ve always been when it came to school. I need to learn from my mistakes. Now I am currently sick and still wasting my time laying in bed when I can use all of this free time to get work done. Anyways, another con to this play was it definitely made you emotionally drained. I don’t get how actors do it. We would go from crying to laughing to being stressed and panicking. We would go home and want to rest but couldn’t because we also had homework to get done before we slept.

Through all the good and bad times of this experience, it was all worth it. I will always look back at this like it was one of the best times of my life during high school. On the last night, I cried after curtain calls. I thought about it like it was my one time experience in high school. That’s going to be the one time where I’m going to get to say, “this is my first main role and speaking role.” That was the one time when those five girls and I were going to get a main role all together. This is the best one time memory I’m going to cherish forever. I’m so thankful for getting to be in drama.

This was an intense scene for all of us.

The main cast (:

A Piece of My Heart is Coming Soon.

I’m very excited to announce that we official have only three days of rehearsals left until A Piece of My Heart premieres! It’s going to be amazing and I promise you won’t regret attending it. It will be on September 11th, 12th, and 13th at 7 p.m. Doors will be open at 6:30 p.m. and the price to attend will be $5 for students and children and $8 for adults.

My life has still been very stressful only because I’ve been slacking and procrastinating from being worn out with my life. I only have myself to blame though. I wouldn’t be stressed if I learned how to stop slacking and procrastinating. I really shouldn’t use excuses to get my work done. I always tell myself I don’t need to do this and that until later because of how tired I’ve been, but if I were really determined to get my work done then I wouldn’t let any excuse stop me from getting it done. I just need to start telling myself that. If you really wanted to do it, you wouldn’t let any excuse stop you from doing. Once I’ve completed everything then I’ll feel the stress go away.

Rehearsals have been going great and I appreciate many of the compliments that I’ve received from a bunch of people in the cast. I always hear how my acting skills have improved, how my stage voice has gotten better, and how I give them chills when I perform. This really motivates to strive to be an actress because I use to have a really big dreams of becoming big in the Hollywood industry and I guess I started doubting myself when I realized how hard it was to get into it. I’m still going to dream big and work for what I want though.
