I’ve heard good things about these. I want to learn how to use them and see if the things are true. I don’t know if I can afford them though and I don’t think that my gym has a set. Still I don’t want to forget that this is something that I want to learn.

Well, the show was less than wonderful. The parents liked it but I was dismayed. I ended up cutting all but 2 scenes and I had kids auditioning in prop storage 5 MINUTES before the show started. Half the class didn’t show up and I wonder if they would have if I had not cut their scenes. But it is done, I am acting again, enough with all this directing nonsense. That’s not the fun part anyway. WAAAAAAY too stressful.

I took the praxis today. I had to be there at 7:30, take a 2-hour test, then be back at 2:15 to take the essay portion. I have signed up for the praxis twice, expecting that I mihgt not do well the first time, but today wasn’t so bad. I was the 2nd one finished in the whole room and that is WITH 2 bathroom breaks. There were 120 multiple choice questions. The ones I had the most trouble with were the ones about sentence structure and being able to name particular types of sentences. But I figure that I did “OK.” Out of 120 questions, there were 20 that I wasn’t sure of, but I could at least narrow it down to 2 choices on all of those. So I figure, statistically, I probably missed 10 out of 120. That’s not too bad. The essay part was the part that I was REALLY worried about. I wrote as fast as I could for the entire hour. My hand hurt soooo badly, but I THINK I at least addressed everything that they asked. My first question was much more fleshed out, but I still got to finish the other one too. Just barely. It will be great if I don’t have to take the test again. Mom made the 99th percentile when she took it though, and I know there is no way that I can beat that. But still I am imagining it. What if I did? What if I could tell Brad that I had made a perfect score? He probably wouldn’t care, but it would certainly feel good to say it.
