We Meet Again

Wow. Hello there, New Post screen. It's been awhile...
I guess you can say that I've been a little preoccupied with life. Senior year is turning out to be even more stressful than junior year, despite many assurances that after junior year it was pretty much smooth sailing to graduation. Except for us poor IB kids. For us, senior year is the worst-- it's when we have all our exams.

Anyway, you haven't missed too much other than my intense school stuff like the 3,500-4,000 word essay I had to write over the summer. (For those interested my final word count was 3,647.) And I am not in my school's production of Beauty and the Beast. "WHAT?" you ask, "I thought you really wanted to be in that musical? Belle's your idol!" Yeah. I know. I still do want to be in the show, but I was sent home and callbacks and the director made it clear to me that I would not be recieving either of the rolls I desired (Belle and Mrs. Potts), which basically meant that I would have been in chorus had I chosen to do the show. I told her that I was only interested in those two roles (as I had previously indicated on my audition sheet)and so I was not cast. Despite her assurance that seniors would always be given precedence over underclassmen as long as the underclassmen were not vastly more talented.

Long story short: the director was a dirty hypocrite. Whatever. I'm mostly over it. It just would have been nice to be in my senior musical since I won't have as many opportunities to act in college since I am pursuing a music career, not musical theatre.

Anyway, enough ranting. Good things have happened to me as well since we last spoke. (Because clearly this is a conversation. It's just very... one-sided...) For one, I love being captain of Madrigals. It's super stressful at times, but it's also rewarding at others like when the choir director compliments me on my leadership skills. It's always nice to be appreciated.

Well, now everyone is up-to-date and I can start being sassy and opinionated in my next post, which will hopefully be in the near future. Possibly even tomorrow! Until then-- DFTBA [Don't forget to be awesome]
