Well. That hit me like a sac o' potatoes.

It just hit me that my seniors are leaving me. I know that sounds completely foolish, and I will see them... so much before they go anywhere.

But-- I don't know. It just hit me.

God. I'm sad now.

The Music Man

Well, this weekend was the run of the show The Music Man that we've all been working on for the past...uh-- while. The run went great, everyone seemed to get sick though. Weird. That wasn't the best, but everyone still sounded amazing.
This was the seniors last show *tear* and oh were there every so many tears. Many people said really sweet things, especially Amy Bouchard. Wait, did I just say that with a straight face? no. ha Anyway-- I thought about saying a nice little ditty during prayer, but prayer was lasting too long and my hands were getting sweaty. haha So i didn't. It seemed that half of the people during prayer cried, the other half couldn't hear anyone, and the other..well, not the other half, becaus that makes no sense, but whatever; the rest of the people were indifferent. Krysta and I laughed because...well we kept saying funny things and..quite frankly the things we said were quite funny. But the seniors know that I love them all very dearly. The last show went very well and the audience was amazing.
Uhh-- then we had the last Bennetfest. That was a sad yet happy occasion filled with much delicious food. The food is the only reason people go. No, that was a joke. Or was it? ha. So we stayed until about 1:30 at the Bennets, but clearly my dear friend Joanie wanted some sleep, so we kindly left. But Bennetfest was definitely a good one..I shall miss that onion dip..erg, I meant Jenn.

Everyone ready for HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL? ha. Oh dear.

When needing sleep gets too great, the only thing to do is to write in your blog.

Hello all.
I have a huge english paper to be writing on Pride and Prejudice a book, which I greatly intended to read, but never read. So here I am, cliff notes in hand, attempting to write about motifs in this book. I hardly know what a motif is, yet i have to make something up that may sound insightful into the world of motifs. This should be interesting. It is now 10:34. I have not done any homework, except a meager poem, a sad card, and um...something else? I can't remember.

Today was insane. I went to Boston with Jenn to see WICKED!!! Jealous?! haha anyway. So we get there, and we're like.."lets enter in the ticket lottery" (The ticket lottery---for those who don't know, allows the winners to have front row seats for $25 bucks each!) We had tickets, but we were like, hey--if we win, we sell our tickets and take the front seats. So, while waiting for a half hour before they draw the names, we decided to bop ourselves over to Dunkin Donuts. Was that a bad idea if i've ever had a bad idea. This creepy ex-marine came up to us and started chatting it up. and I just nodded and responded with one word answers, while Jenn got scared. ha That was so weird. So, we left, didn't get any coffee. :( which made everyone sad because we were so cold.

Then, we get back to the theatre and they announce that they are going to draw the lottery names. The names are getting drawn, and there are about two spots left, and we've given up hope by now, we know that we've both lost and its just too late. But then. As though God himself knew that we needed a boost after the creepy marine. I hear "Amy.....(Slow) Mc.Mc. McGuire?" Immediately I look up and raise my hand "AMY MCGUIRK!?!?" I yell, hoping that there isn't another woman in the room named Amy McGuire, and then the man goes "yeah!" and jenn says "YEAH!!!" and i say "YEAHHH!!!!!!" So i run up and recieve my two pins that say "I won the Wicked Lottery!" and hand one to jenn, and keep one for myself. At this point I am happily smiling because I never win anything, and I just won jenn and myself front row tickets.

Um..what were we going to do with out other tickets? We say "Huh- what'll we do with these?"...a man named..uh Greg, comes over and says 'Hey! You sellin those tickets?" we say "yeh!" he says "Face-value!?" "YEAH!" "be right back..lemme run to the bank!" SWEET 90$ in each of our pockets. So we happily bop over to "Know Fat" Some creepy health food place for celebration which included a flavored water and a cookie. But, our tickets that we won were seperated. Oh well, they were front row, screw sitting with eachother.

We get there and are talking on our cells to eachother as we sit across the theatre. Then i start chatting with a nice man in front of us who tells me that he wanted to trade seats with the woman who was sitting in front of him. Then, she could trade with Jenn. This was a very complicated story that I will not go into because, its hard when one is saying it, i can't even imagine typing it all out.

It worked.

:)

We saw wicked! AMAZING!!! Then went to find the stage door. We found it, and then saw Glinda as she was running to dinner, and we yelled out her name and she said hello. So that was cool. Then we saw Julie (who played Elphie) and we took a picture with her, and she signed my playbill. :)

What a day.

About that...

Well, I tried to write a post the other day--but my computer was being quite fussy and shut down. That was not very nice, so I will try to re-enact the post here.

We had prom the other day. It was so fun, of course there was drama, the Jr. Class at lasalle is nothing but drama. If you are interested in any pictures or anything like that...they are here.

AP English Exams, Rehearsal, and No homework.

That was my day. I did nothing today. The AP english exam bit me in my ass. I paid 82 dollars for an exam to kill me. And make me feel dumb. It was four hours of my life that i will never ever get back. Then i had about one and a half classes, but the one didn't count because it was english and I convinced Obi that we shouldn't ahve class. So that was a nice break. Then tonight I did nothing. I have done nothing

This is nothing.

goodbye.
