Scapin!

Monday, 5th November 2007, Wake up time: 6:35am


I woke up quite early and got my costume ready! I managed to get to school on time though! I had a lesson off instead of maths so Virginia and I hung out in Old Hall. We talked for a little bit about the play and how nervous I was! She told me I'd be fine though. We then headed to drama, where we practised direct addresses to audiences. I then had my American literature, where we were set up with a new seating plan because people were talking too much! There were questions on  the book we were reading at the moment.


In psychology we watched a video which students had made the previous year. I enjoyed it because it featured Nick Jackson! He's a kid at the school that, for whatever reason, was one of the most popular kids. I then went to lunch of pizza and milk, but I didn't enjoy it a whole load because the table was so crowded! After lunch, I had my history lesson but I was quite tired and kind of fell asleep! I was more alert in film class though and thoroughly enjoyed watching more of Casablanca. 


I went to rehearsal after school, which went very well! I enjoyed wearing my tights! After rehearsal I helped Julia who was doing the stage lighting for both shows. I wasn't performing until tomorrow, as Scapin was on tonight and then the Wednesday and we had the Tuesday and Thursday performance! I walked home, and went to look in the Red Sox merchandise shop again but it was closed! I did see Cecille, Julia, Stephanie and Nick in Sweet Sue's though! 


I got home and quickly had a dinner of more pizza. I then headed back to school as it was almost time for the first performance of Scapin! We obviously had to attend to give our support. I arrived at school and saw the cast of Scapin and obviously wished them luck! (Or told them to break a leg, as it's bad luck otherwise.) I bumped into Hannie who had come to see Danielle perform, along with her brother A.J, Shoko, Fiona and Danielle's mother. We settled down to watch the play, which was very good and hilarious! 


During the intermission, Hannie and I had a good adventure running around looking for bathrooms! It's so weird going round a school at night, it's kind of spooky! We came back for the rest of the show and then after I congratulated everyone, I headed home. It was pretty late, but I spent some time to talk to Gracie to tell her about the show and ask her to come to mine! She didn't think she'd be able to though :/ Hannie called, it was a bit late but it was okay because he needed to talk to someone as he just split up with Danielle...I was able to cheer him up though which was good! With a mixture of emotions, sadness for Hannie, excitement and nerves for my performance and a little bit of love for Gracie, I drifted off to sleep.


Thanks for listening.
