hectic...

I've been so busy. Shopping, working, rehearsing, volunteering, and just trying to keep my head above water has taken up most of my time lately. Here's the general idea of what's gone on:

1. Tuesday we had our first full run for Oz. It went...okay.

2. My last summer day volunteering at the library was on Tuesday morning, and it was the day that I finally got my volunteer badge. Funny how that works.

3. Wednesday the girls, mom, and I went shopping for school stuff (mostly for my sisters) and things for costumes. We found gorgeous gold hair clips to use for MOLO. I'm way excited.

4. Rehearsal went surprisingly well. Show run time at this present day is 2 hours 8 minutes. Not bad.

5. The first day of school was today. It sucked, but could have been worse. Sarah Hawkins sits next to me in math, so we are having too much fun. Algebraic equations are not supposed to be fun. At least according to the other students in the class. It will be super weird being one of three seniors in Algebra II. Most of the others are stuck up little sophomores. Seriously, those kids have ISSUES this year.

6. I really, really, REALLY want to take Mr. Jackman's Health Science class. So, I'm dropping Woods tomorrow to take H.S. instead. YAY!!!

7. I don't have rehearsal tonight, which is why I'm snagging a minute to write this.

8. My manager forgot that I don't get out of class until 3:15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays this fall. He has me scheduled to work every Tuesday at 3:00, and I can't even get there until 3:30 or 3:40.

9. The box holding my pasta salad in my Spiderman lunch bag leaked all over. I'm SO glad that we bought lunch box/bags instead of using paper sacks. Phew.

10. I'm exhausted.

11. AND I need to find a 15-30 second monologue to memorize because I'm auditioning for "Guys and Dolls" at my high school on Monday or Tuesday. I won't get a really good part because Mr. Criman, the drama man, always casts his drama students in the leads. Which is kind of sad, because some of them suck and some of them just have crappy attitudes and are way rude to everyone else. :P

Good bye. I'm going to watch "Avatar" now, because my homework is done. :P

new stuff...

I spent my first day as a volunteer popping balloon trees, stuffing envelopes full of coupons, and giving rewards to kids who had finished Week 2 of the Summer Reading Program. Sometimes it got a little tedious, but it was way, way, WAY better than folding clothes!

Tomorrow night I will be going to a party. It will be the first time I've been to a sleepover in seven years. My parents outlawed them when I was ten; I'm still kind of surprised that my mom's letting me go. It's hosted by one of the women in the cast of "The Wizard of Oz" who we've known for like six years. Maybe that's why. She's super nice, and has totally amazing, gorgeous red hair. Carissa is the only red head I know who can look stunning in hot pink. I'm excited!

Purchased my first merit badges today: First Aid and Emergency Preparedness. I've done all of the requirements for 19 merit badges (mostly from going to school) and dad pretty much said what the heck just do it. Yay. I also got two Parade! patches, one for me and one for dad. Just for fun, because we participated. :)

YAAAAAAAAAY!!!

YAY! I just got placed as a library volunteer! I'm so excited; I start tomorrow at 10:00. This is going to be so amazing. They're going to have me work in Children's. Best spot ever. This is a total dream come true, no joke. I cannot wait!

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!! Happy, happy, happy! *happy dance*
