This Is Me
I plan to write on my personal thoughts and feelings, what I've done that day, etc. Basically, what anyone would write in their own journal if they had one.
Musical Freakout
I start school again tomorrow. s**t. I don't want to go back. I want to stay in my room all day and go on the computer. crying crying crying However, the desire to slack off is not the only reason I don't want to go back.
I got into the school musical, as I found out last week, but my mom says I can't do it because of her job. But the problem is, I have an EXTREME sinking feeling that I was given a big part, and I may not be able to get out of it.
The musical for my school this year is Cinderella, and during the audition, the drama director asked for the kids who were trying out to do little improv scenes to get a sense of our acting. For my little group, he specifically told me to take on the attitude of the Stepmother figure. As soon as he asked me, I automatically thought, Oh, ********] because I knew he was auditioning me for the Stepmother.
At the time, I was disappointed because I was hoping for one of the Stepsister roles, but now I'm freaking out because I can't get to the rehearsals. Last year, a vast majority of the main roles for the musical (Hello, Dolly) were double-cast, but I'm not sure if they're doing the same thing this year. If they're not, then I'll be the only person who can play the Stepmother, or whatever role I'm given, but I won't be able to do it because of my mom's job.
This is seriously bad on soooooooooo many levels. I find out tomorrow if I've been given an actual role (they didn't say in the letter), and I dread telling the drama director and the music director and the choreographer that I can't do it. I told all of this to my mom, and she told me I was freaking out over nothing, but I can't help but be worried and freaked. If I drop out, no one can play whatever part I may be given, and I am seriously, SERIOUSLY ********.
Maybe I won't get a major part, and it will all be OK. *gets down on knees* Please, please, PLEASE don't let me get a big part!

LoL, wow. That's amazing that they would pick you for the part. 3nodding xd But I don't mean to take sides or anything, but you really shouldn't freak out too much. No one can force you into anything if you really don't want to. (Hm, that made no sense) Well, just that I'm sure your director and teachers would understand if you told them of your predicament. They may be disappointed and even sad, but they're adults and they usually understand. Hm, I remember acting. blaugh I loved it and it was fun. I had band as well, there were times when I would spend practically my whole day at school!! xd Go in at 6:30am come out of school by 2:30pm then go to drama production practice coming out at 5:00pm rush home come back to school for band practice at 6:00pm and come back home by 8:00pm, shower, do homework, and go to bed by 10:00pm only to wake up at 5:00am to get dressed. Oi...so much work...but I liked it and loved it so I was willing to put forth the effort. I don't mean to boost, but I think if you really wanted to you could do it!! blaugh 3nodding
