Hey guys! Today is the forth day of school! For me anyway... I have theatre every other day first period. I won't bore you with the details of my sarcastic, six hundred year old, white mustached teacher who scares every one to death. He said that he has tried to convince every one of his students out of acting and succeeded with almost all of them. But the few that he couldn't convince out of it, he did everything possible to help them on their way. There is nothing in this world that makes me happier, career wise, other than theatre. He's not going to convince me out of it.
About the audition, we are doing.... Drum roll please! The Miracle Worker!!! It's about Helen Keller. I auditioned as Kate, Helen's mom. It's kind of funny because I played Kate in the class production last year. In fact when the director, a sweet young theatre I teacher, called me up to read as Kate, she called me Kate even though I had her all last year.
In case your confused about the way I'm explaining things, we did a cold reading in front of everyone auditioning. The director had slates (pieces of the script) marked out for us to read. We went out into the hall, practiced our lines for a while and came back in when they called us.
I hope I get a callback but I'm not sure I will. I did a lot of motion with my words, made facial expressions, ect, but I don't think she noticed it. My new theatre teacher on the other hand was staring at my face the entire time I did the facial expressions. Hopefully that's a good sign. With 80 people auditioning, I was only able to read once. That's okay. Now's the time to pray.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.
Before I post about the dance, there's one thing you must understand. I believe guys should ask girls to dance. Is that too much to ask for? Apparently so because I only danced with three guys the entire night and I've never gotten much better, but I've have had a lot worse (aka no dances with guys the entire night.) On the other hand my cousin dosn't feel as strongly as I do on the subject. She danced with about ten guys or so. That's okay there weren't too many hot guys there anyway.
So the dance was okay I thought it was going to be really lame at first. We got there half an hour late and only half of the gym was full. Then it quickly filled up, we found some friends and it was okay. About half way into the dance, it was girl's choice and I still haddent danced with anyone. I was talking with one of my child hood friends and she pointed to this guy next to her and told us to dance.
I found out this guy was in theatre too. He was an actor last year, but he's going in to tech. Gotta love techies!! My dad is a techie 'ya know? That's my southern side speaking. After that I had two more dances with guys both shorter and younger than me. I don't know how old that first guy was but he was really tall. I'm 5'7" so it's hard to find guys taller than me. At least hight is a benifit for on stage.
Today is Sunday. Typical church stuff. And I got to drive home. We have two cars, a little 2013 Hyundai Elantra and a 2000 Ford Expedition. The majority of the time, I've driven the Elantra, which is brand new, quick response, easy to drive. I've only driven the Expedition two or three times. I feel tall in it, so I like the feel of driving it, but the response time is a little late and it's harder to drive. Still, it's probably going to be my car in January when I go get my license.
Tomorrow school starts. I don't know if I'm nervous, indifferent, anticipating the lack of sleep, or what but for the first time in my life, I'm not excited for school to start. I'm excited for theatre, but not the work, the home work, seminary, sleep deprivation, work, work, thought, effort, and work that is required by school. Is it bad I'm feeling a little depressed? Or is that just the thought of sleep deprivation?
According to my mom, studies show that teens (like myself) can't really go to sleep untill 11 or later at night. Also, they need a full 9 hours or so of rest so they shouldnt be up untill... What 8 at the most? In order to catch my bus at 6:20 I have to get up at 5:30. That's not healthy!!! You add seminary to the equation and boom!!! No sleep at all, plus there's that one teacher who insists their students have no lives and should read 3 chapters of a boring textbook before their next class, take notes and pass a test on little or no sleep. That happened to me last year and I broke down in tears because the test was put off and I had like two hours of sleep. It's making me cry just thinking about it. I must be tired. Good night! ;)

Cousin!
So my cousin is finally here!! After a week or two of shopping (I found my dream boots) and babysitting (I'm no longer broke!) my mom and I picked her up from the airport.
You know how in the movies, the airline loses sombody's luggage? Well we where lucky enough to experience that felling without the lights, camera, or action. We did almost get arrested... That's a long story.
Anywho, that night she slept on a mattress on the floor, so Saturday, Dad, Jaja and I went to Ikea and she picked out some fruniture for her room. Currently we have a wardrobe with no doors and wonky drawers, a dresser with a mirrors that is supper cool, a bed with a trundle and drawers, and a full body mirror. We also got her a desk but we need to clean up a bit before we try to squeeze it in somewhere. Also we didn't get a chair to go with it, so we thought it could wait. The desk is also pretty cool it has a hole in it for cords and a shelf on the side that is just the perfect size for textbooks.
Here are links to all the fruniture we got her:

Almost the wardrobe:

The wardrobe we got is taller and has four drawers. Also we got it all the furniture in white. The color we have on the wall is a dark purple, plum, burgundy color... (Here's the link). Anywho, she has a small room and its a dark color so the white looks really good in there.
As I said before we still need a few things like a chair, curtains, a rug, ect. We gave her a laundry basket and trash can from around the house, but the room still needs a lot of work. Like putting the doors on the wardrobe and handles on the drawers.
Tomorrow we are going shopping for the final touches of her room and registering her for skool. Hopefully we should get life in order by the time the dance rolls around this Saturday.
You'll definitely be getting a post about that. LDS church dances are the bomb-dot-com!!!

Outlet Mall
So yesterday I went to an outlet mall in Houston with one of my friends from church and her mom. I got some clothes for school, a backpack and a new wallet.
I've been wanting tank tops forever. You know, the nice kind with the elastic top. Well I found some at this store and got a really good deal on them to! I only got three (black white and grey) but I think it was worth it. I also found a couple shirts. At Loft for $5 each. They are pretty cutie and I got an amazing deal on them.
Then we want to Claire's (the store named after me only spelled incorrectly) and when we walked in we saw these super cute backpacks. We couldn't resist. My friend got one with black poka dots and I got one with brown stripes and leather handle. I thought it was one of those backpacks that you had to buckle and un-bucket every time you open it, but on the way home I discovered it had snaps under the buckle. At my discovery I said "this bag just got ten times better." My friend and her mom busted out laughing like it was the most hilarious thing in the world. I just went along with it, but I didn't think it was that funny.
We also looked in Vera Bradly to gawk at the purses we could never afford, but yesterday was Vera's birthday (Happy B-Day Verra!!) so we got a 40% of discount of everything in the store. I went straight to clearance and found a $20 wallet (way over priced) but with my discount, it became less over priced. So I had to get it because with my purchase I got a free journal. So I guess if you think about it, I got a Vera Bradly journal and wallet for only $15 that's not too bad.... I guess.
So yeah that was my shopping spree of yesterday. I still want a denim jacket and boots but I'm kinda picky about both of those. I want a jacket with short sleeves or with the sleeve to just above the elbow. Is that to much to ask? Anywho I've decided I'm just going to find one cheep at good will or a garage sale and cut the sleeves of where I want them. Maybe while I'm there I'll find a fair priced pair of boots with out much of a heal.
I've been wanting a pair of brown boots for about a year and I just can't find a pair worth the price and with a short heal. Be on the look our for cheep brown combat boots for me and comment if you find some!!! Thanks!!
