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.
