Just survived tech week, which is the most major hurdle. Emma had some difficulty as she had three projects due. I was lucky my teachers assigned barely any homework. My self-esteem and social life are back on the rise after falling for a while. I think being in this play was ultimately a good thing. However I still have another 5 performances so this goal remains incomplete. 5 years ago

One performance is on the same day as the Ballard Parade! This just pisses me off, I already missed Macys and I don’t want to miss Ballard. The parade is from 3-5 so no matter what, it will be cut pretty close. Even so, I’d rather show up late for my call time then get a bad grade and miss yet another parade.

I’m an integral part of the band and only an expendable in the play. 5 years ago

The play has been therapy just like all the other plays.

However I think that’s because I still get to hang out with everyone. When we move into the mainstage, things might get different. 5 years ago

Being in plays, even if they are fun, take a lot of time and puts a lot of stress on me. The last time I was in a play, I had to see the shrink because I snapped and threatened to kill someone.

However this time the part I have means that I can’t do any homework during the duration in the play because I’m always onstage. However, I’m worse than an extra (an add-on whose lines were made in like 2 hours) so it isn’t like I’m getting anything for this added stage time. In fact, when I’m onstage, I’m nothing more than a living, breathing, prop. I might as well be playing a tree.

This is why I’m worried I’m going to snap. I’ve got more HW now, more responsibilities, and less time to do them all. 5 years ago
