Wicked field trip and catching up

Yesterday I went on a field trip with some fellow drama geeks, to Toronto to see Wicked. We had supper at the Eaton Center and then went to the Canon Theatre to see the show. There are not enough words in this world to describe how amazing it was. Even though we had kinda crappy seats, I still had an amazing time and the technical effects were AWESOME. There was this dragon head and torso and wings at the top of the stage and it moved and blew out smoke occasionally. There was also the Wizard's metal head contraption that moved and lit up and was generally freaky amazing. :) I'll try to find pics of them later.
     The singing was fantastic, although everyone was a bit off at one point or another. It didn't matter though, because the rest of the time they were fantastic. I have so much respect for all the actors, dancers and singers in the show. They were great. :)
    At the end of the show we gave them a standing ovation (they totally deserved it) and then the actress who played Galinda asked us to sit down. She then asked us to donate to an organization that is researching cures for AIDS and to a fund that helps out people in the theatre business. I gave all the money that was left in my wallet.
     So basically, last night was amazing. Today, however, was not.
     We got home from Wicked at 1:30am, but I didn't get home until 2 am because my brother was having car troubles and it took a while for him to come get me. So of course, I was tired, frustrated, and freezing, and started bawling my eyes out for no reason. Anyways, when I finally got home, I fell into bed and slept until noon. I got my dad to call the school and tell them I wouldn't be there for the morning, but I forgot to set my alarm to wake me up earlier than twelve to get ready and clean out my backpack before going to school. So my dad ended up waking me up, and I rushed around shoving a sandwich down my throat and grabbing my backpack and coat. I was late for third period, but not by much, and I didn't care anyways, as it was my first time being late this year. It was nice to sit down and read for 20 minutes, and sort of relax after all that running around. But then came the shitty part of the day. First, I learned we took a bunch of notes yesterday, all of which I had to find a way to catch up on, and we had to do some definitions on our own. Then our teacher bitched at us for 20 minutes about not handing certain things in with our essay rough drafts that SHE HAD NEVER TOLD US TO HAND IN! I later learned that everyone was pissed about this. Then she only handed back 5 of the 23 rough drafts, and mine wasn't one of them.
     In Math class, we had an ISP, thank goodness, but I didn't finish all the homework, and I'm only just grasping the idea of this new graphing thing we learned.
     Then I had rehearsal which went quite well I think, at least for me and Cavan. Michelle and John are kinda sucky, and don't know their lines, but whatever.

I'm really glad I got to see Wicked, I just wish I hadn't had to miss school to see it.

UPDATE: I found pics!
