Crazy Day

Today was a little bonkers, because I forgot to write on my audition application that I couldn't rehearse on the third Monday of the month because of a previous commitment. I've been teaching some of the people who participate in the Friendship Ministry, a local organization that ministers to physically and mentally disabled people, a song to sign to. So, I had two things going on today, at the same time. I was kind of totally stressed out about calling people to figure out how to do both of them. The Friendship coordinators said they would try to fit me in before they ate, but as it turned out, the church where they meet was rehearsing choir while we were going to be practicing, so it didn't work out. Then I went to rehearsal. It went well, and I'm excited to see the show come to life. It will be a little more difficult than I anticipated, because the character I'm playing is written as an African-American servant, but the director wants me to do it with a southern accent. I can't wait to get back into the whole theater thing!

The Miracle Worker

I'm super excited, because I found out yesterday that I made it into The Miracle Worker. I am Percy, who is the Keller's servant's son. Johnathan also got a part; he is Anne Sullivan's brother Jimmie. I'm also excited because some of the people who were in Annie are also in this. I found that out today when the cast list was published.

Election

Today was an interesting election for me. I felt like I had more invested in it than any other election in the past, but I didn't have as much blissful naivete and faith in the candidate I thought the best for President. In other areas, school has been going pretty well. I'm also planning on auditioning for The Miracle Worker next week.

Last day of summer!*

*Sort of. Tomorrow we start school. Sometimes, I wish that summer could go on forever, but then I could never graduate. On another note, my spindle that I've been waiting almost a week for still hasn't come. It's being shipped from Canada, so I know it will take longer, but I was hoping it would come before school started...

End of corn

Today was the last day that we will be working at the Severson's this year. I'm glad that it's over, but I'm going to be wishing that I still have a job in a few weeks, I'm sure! Also, I'm going to miss spending time with my 'co-workers'.

Annie

As you probably all know, the musical Annie Jr. that I was in is now over. I have mixed emotions about this: I'm happy that I can move on with my life and maybe play a different part in another play, but I'm disappointed that I might not see some of the people in the play again. I went to work again today and the rest of the days this week so far except yesterday. Today I ran the saw, which cuts off the butt end and the skinny end of the corn, and husked some. For whatever reason, we're now husking all of the husk, whereas before we were only removing the husk from one half of the ear.

Well, I'm kind of disappointed because I can't work today. No one is working because our employer doesn't have any corn to process. Nobody worked yesterday either. I'm hoping to be able to work at least a few more weeks because I have my eye on some stuff, and I need to save more money to get to the 'magical' 50/40/10 save/spend/tithe. I spent one weeks worth of my save money at Stitches.
