Alright, so today we finally had our lame welcome back assembly, that for some reason they insist on having every year. It was alright I guess. There was a video about sports and clubs and stuff, a competition between our principal and vice principals (which is always fun to see), a lot of chanting of "WE BLEED PURPLE AND WHITE! FIGHT! FIGHT!! FIGHT!!!" (which is apparently our new school chant or something... personally I'd book myself a doctor's appointment if I was bleeding purple and white, but maybe that's just me), and not a lot of mention of drama club or the arts (as per usual). But it mean that first period was shortened by about a half hour. But that also meant it shortened second period, which is when I have my spare. :( Which kinda sucked, but I got over it. :P
At the assembly, one of the gym teachers (the hot, young one :P) got up and started talking about starting an "athletics council" which would be a few people who would work with student council to find more ways to shove sports down our throats. yaaay. I found this annoying and unfair as there was no arts council for drama, music and art. So I brought this up to Trick, the drama teacher, when I was on spare (since I hang out in her room on spare usually), and she agreed that we should have an arts council. So at lunch, when all us drama geeks were gathered in the drama room, she brought it up and we all agreed it was a good idea. So she said that we should probably have one person from drama, one from music, and then they could keep in touch with the art teacher to see if the art department had anything going on (they usually don't). She then asked who would be interested in being the drama rep. My friend Danielle, put her hand up, as did my friend Jenette. Britney, another girl in drama, also put her hand up and said that since she was best friends with the Student Council president, it would be a better decision for her to be the drama rep. They discussed how they would decide who would be the rep, but as with most things in our drama guild, nothing was really decided.
Another interesting thing that happened at lunch was Danielle blowing up at this girl Emily, who has a reputation for having a big mouth. Recently, Danielle broke up with her boyfriend. Apparently, a lot of people found out about it, and started asking Danielle questions. She was understandably a little angry, since she had not told said people about the break-up and did not appreciate questions about it. When she asked them how they had found out about it, some of them told her that Emily had texted them. So today, Emily started to talk to Danielle and Danielle told her about the situation and said she did not wish to talk to Emily, or even be near her (I'm paraphrasing, so don't take this as a direct quote). It's always fun to see people be put in their place. :P
This year, our drama guild has decided to put on three (maybe four) plays that will be presented in November. One or two of these plays will then go on to compete in the Sears Drama Festival in March. Today, I auditioned for one of the three plays called, My Narrator. I was really nervous, even though this is my third year in the drama guild and I've shown my dedication and talent many times. Although, I have been turned down for parts I've wanted in the past, I am hopeful that I'll earn this part. I had memorized the audition piece, and I acted it out (sort of) to the two directors of the play, and our drama teacher. I think it went fairly well, and they were impressed that I had memorized it. The rest of the auditions are scheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday at lunchtime, so I'll have to figure out what to do for lunch for the next two days (most of us drama geeks usually hang out in the drama room for lunch). I'll prolly go home. Or hang with my non-drama guild friends in the caf. meh.
So that was today. oh and I actually didn't mean for the title to be an alliteration, it kinda just turned out that way... :)
