And I'm back dudes. Miss me? I've been slacking with the journaling a lot. ::Shrugs::

So let me tell you...I just finished the best two weeks of my summer....tiring yes...but awesome nonetheless. Let's just say I have so much more confidence for our upcoming musical...and I mean I'm more determined to get an actual part rather than just resorting to the chorus (I gave up thinking that I even had a chance at the other roles because...let's just say I'm not the world's greatest actor..I'm sorry...ACTRESS lol). These past two weeks have been so beneficial...I've learned a great deal...I'm sad that it had to end so soon. :-(

I had my recital on Friday...it was so sweet. That's probably the most fun I've had during a performance. This recital was a bit different...rather than having individuals stand up on stage, sing their song, then sit back down...we all had select scenes we had to perform from different musicals that were assigned to us beginning of the week (yes, that's right...we all learned a new song and had to memorize a monologue in 4 days because we weren't given our songs/monologues until Tuesday). We also had a radio drama that we performed....we basically all stood up on stage with music stands in front of us and read through a script....with commercials because afterall it was a RADIO drama.

So yes, that was my week...I've learned a great deal and I've improved not only vocally, but socially along with my stage presence. I say socially because I learned that I'm capable of making new friends outside of many circle of friends. You see, I'm not the most outgoing person when you first meet me unless I'm with several of my friends....but I've learned to step up and say "Hello" which is a pretty big deal to me. :)

Alright, enough of me rambling...I have to go to church...oh joy. <-- the period (.) was intended to express my lack of excitement.

Always, Sandy

Woo on singing!!! And triple woo! For people skills!! I think when you're around several friends all the time, you get used to sitting in the background and not stepping up. It takes being kind of forced to get to know people to change that. And that's a good change. Dude.

We got a new thing of cookie dough, by the way. ;-)
