we'll have to fit it all in somehow

yay! so yesterday my scene went well (like many cute, stupid characters, andrew is so fun to play) and apparently, so did my monologue and sonnet--i'm one of the ones they picked! they couldn't make up their minds about sending me or ashlei so they're going to try asking if they can send us and raouia, having three representatives instead of two.

i also feel i did pretty well on my tests today. i need to start hardcore studying for midterms and decathlon. =O and mock trial is coming, too! ahh! =/ i need to memorize my closing AND my decathlon speech. great.

For what offence have I this fortnight been a banish'd woman from my Harry's bed?

I, uhm, have a lot to do.

So I entered the ESU Shakespeare Contest and I was called back. So now I'm against my best friend Mark and two other girls. Hopefully I do well. For ESU, you have to recite a monologue (Lady Percy's "why are you spending your nights thinking about war and not with me" speech from Henry 4 Pt 1) and a sonnet (128 -- How oft, when thou, my music, music play'st) So hopefully I do well.

Unfortunately, ESU callbacks are tomorrow--the same day as my Harvard interview, Twelfth Night 1.3 presentation for Shakespeare, and Decathlon. Woo busyness.

But I'm fine, I swear.

I also have a test on two articles for Journalism and Art History Middle Ages unit test on Wednesday, and midterms start on Friday.

=(

I don't remember if I already blogged about this, but Massiel and I are going to sing "What is this Feeling?" from Wicked for Senior Extravaganza. I'm Galinda and I have to figure out a way to be blonde.

Also, we decided that if we do another RA production, we will have to do Midsummer Night's Dream. Here are a few of our casting probabilities:

Bottom – John
Demetrius - Aaron
Helena - Amanda
Hermia - Summer
Hippolyta - Jennie
Lysander – Mark
Fairy - Mackenzie
Philostrate - Semira
Puck – Massiel
Flute - Abbie
Quince - Fani
Snout - Joelle
Snug - Rab
Starveling - Angie
Titania - Michelle

However, not all of these are rock solid. I don't really like Midsummer, but it's the only one really possible as far as duration, degree of acting talent required for it to be believable, and casting.

But I still really want to do a drama. And a movie. Oh, Red Bull Proposal, I wish you were in the works!

The last movie I made was my final project for health. It was a comedy somewhat based off Rent except instead of AIDS everyone had the common cold.

I was Mimi. Acchoo!
