Rehearsal was cancelled today.

In retrospect, it was kind of funny. I was putting my make up on (with about half of the rest of the cast. The other half were out getting food like they all said we weren't going to do. I had six bites of an apple for my lunch because I was under the impression that everyone was eating sack lunches at school) when Dana came over the PA and said "I'm sorry for the late notice, but the MIFA rehearsal that was scheduled for 12-4 today" (imagine everyone in the makeup room freezing at this point) "has been cancelled."

Now imagine everyone screaming and yelling, including me shouting up at the little speaker thing "FUCK NO!!!!"

We needed this rehearsal. We are so far behind...we've yet to actually run the freaking show from start to finish. And the next person who says "It's only Districts. We'll keep going" is going to be hurt.

I'm sorry, but this is my senior year. My last MIFA. Yeah, it's pretty much guaranteed that we're going to regionals, but how could would it be to get to regionals after beating Holland? In 10th grade we came in at a dismal third at districts, behind Holland and Holland Christian. And I felt really prepared with that show. Now, less than two days out, we're completely not prepared. Few other people are, either (Holland didn't have an auditorium to practice in until yesterday) but still!!!

So tomorrow we're rehearsing from noon until six. And we're going to be rehearsing at fucking noon. None of this going out to lunch shit. I will since I don't have an eighth hour (hee hee) but I'll hurt anybody who keeps us waiting. In the event that school gets cancelled, we're not practicing until 6:30 Saturday morning.

Um. No. As it is we can't remember the order our show goes in, since for the last month it's been divided into scenes 1-6, then scene 7 before the fight and scene 7 after the fight. We need to connect this thing together. And costumes are going to change everything. And then there's the issue of move on/move off for our set.

I am way too stressed. Gah.

Anyway, between rehearsals and exams I've had no life for the last week, which explains the lack of updating. And yeah, I've actually worked on exams this time around because I had that huge paper to write for AP Am. Lit, and I have to finish up a composition for tomorrow's Music Theory exam. Oh, and then there's the German exam that I'm sure I bombed. If April can get a frickin 'C' on it...bye bye Angela's perfect 'A's in German. ~sigh~

But in happy news: I dyed my hair purple. Todd's gonna freak out at the reunion party tomorrow (thank God I'll still be able to make that. It looks like I won't be seeing Chicago until Monday, but play rehearsal definitely takes priority over movies that are going to be there for awhile. Hm, wonder if any of the Group wants to go see that...). My hair really is a different color every time he sees me. The technical name for the color is plum, except for my old blond streak...there is no other color to describe it as but purple. Quite literally. And it's quite fun. I look evil. And the comments I get are funny. Stacey says it really brings out my eyes, but she's said that about every hair color I've had since the blond, lol.

I had other things I was going to say.... But I don't know what. Hm....

Have Solo and Ensemble on Saturday. I'm so not going to be ready, since I was supposed to have voice lessons, but those were obviously cancelled (die snow die. Ironically, it has now stopped snowing.) I still don't have my Italian song memorized. But I'm gonna get some help for that tomorrow at rehearsal. Marian used to live in Italy, so she speaks Italian and will help me on some pronounciation issues.

Gah, I think my nerves are just too frazzled from the stupid rehearsal cancellation and the stupid snow we've gotten (I brushed at least three or four inches off my car after school. Roughly an inch of snow an hour. Bad stuff). I can't think coherantly. And I'm on Britt's computer (she invited me over and fed me since I was complaining about my quarter-of-an-apple lunch) which is really weird since she has a standard keyboard and I'm used to my natural keyboard. I keep having to re-type things. And her computer makes noises whenever someone comes on MSN IM. Crazy noisy computer.
