First Performance!

Tuesday, November 6th 2007, Wake up time: 6:35am


I woke up early as I was very excited for my first show! I got dressed up in tights, which were rather comfortable! I wore them under some shorts. I had some time so I made my lunch for the first time in a while! I got to school and my first lesson was drama, but we were still doing direct addresses and it wasn't hugely exciting! For my second and third lesson, I actually got to watch Scapin again. They were performing it to the Junior year, and it was just as good and funny! We did a brief question and answer session after, and then I headed off to psychology. 


Psychology was quite interesting, we watched a video called 'Real Boys 1'. It was about a boys who were interviewed about turning 18, and asked if they thought they'd become men. It was quite interesting because when do boys become men? Physically and legally in their teens, but psychologically? I don't know... After psychology I had lunch of mozzarella sandwiches. I also met two new people, Taylor and Lauren who were both Freshmen. I had gym fifth but it was just a normal workout session. We then continued studying American foreign policy in history.


After school, I came outside and met up with some of my friends in the Freshmen year, Bettina, Alex and Sam. I hung out with them briefly but then headed home. I wanted to get home quicker than usual as it was my first performance night and I wanted to be 100% ready! I did talk to Alex briefly though but I told him I needed to get home. Once I got home, I thought I'd take a nap to freshen up, which ended up being a two hour sleep! I woke up feeling more alert and took another shower. I shovelled down my dinner excitedly, a meal of mac n' cheese with roast chicken. It was then time for me to leave and perform! 


I arrived at school and got ready, wishing fellow cast members well wishes! I don't need to go into too much detail here, just to say that the performance went really well! Everyone remembered their lines, cues and emotion ;) It was brilliant, we even got a couple of laughs! After the show I saw Hannie and Danielle, who'd got back together! Pah, they'd only been broken up a day! They congratulated me on my performance, and I was riding that usual adrenaline you feel after performing so well! I ran home, feeling very happy and looking forward to the performance we were giving to the Seniors. On arriving home, I talked to Bev and Ralph about how it had all gone, they were coming to my second night. I then tried to wind down and get to sleep! It was tough, but I managed it eventually.


Thanks for listening.
