A Chill but Eventful (and Exciting!) two weeks

Well!

A lot has happened since my last post so I thought I'd do an update (since I've been "slaving" away at homework all day......hahaha)

Hmm....Firstly, we cast Beauty & the Beast (as most of you already know...). I think Linnea and I did a really good job casting. It was extremley hard, but in the end, I think we got it! We started on "Be Our Guest" last Saturday....which is already looking GREAT! And the juniors are just too cute at their part.....they certainly are going to be such a treat in the show!

I also auditioned for "A Chorus Line" last week. I was pretty laid back (although I started getting quite scared after my sister was driving us down there saying..."I'm SO nervous!)

I sang my song alright, not my best but not my worst. However, the director seemed to like me, and I got to do a cold read of the script right there on the spot (and I got to read for one of the roles I was going for!) After was the dance audition......I don't think I've sweat that hard in my life!! (Actually, that's a lie.....in High School Musical I was practically a wet sponge after every show...) ANYWAYS. The dance call was challenging but I tried by best and hardest and just tried to have fun with it! And in the end I got a callback! (Which is a week today...and I'm SO excited!) So pray for me!!

We started auditions for Bugsy Malone with Lindbjerg yesterday, and I was just blown away by some of my students. I have a feeling it's going to be quite hard to cast some roles this year!


Oh! Also I have recently discovered "Skype". If you don't have it, GET IT! It's like a free telephone conversation, but over the computer! And you can have video chats too! A very dear friend of mine from Ottawa and I had a lovely 2 hour conversation a few weeks ago, and it felt like she was in the same room as me!


Other than all that, life is pretty chill! School's been alright so far (as I'm trying not to do papers the night before).

I think that's about it! Told you a lot happened!

Tootle Tip!

How Time Flies! (and How Love is amazing)

I just cannot believe that I'm already in Week 3 of school! Why is it that life since high school has flown by like a bolt of lightning?!

ANND.....I'm 21. WHAT! 21. I'm now officially an "adult" anywhere in the world. How frightening is that!


Anyways, everything has begun! School, teaching......And that's it! Oh! And preparing and getting things organized for Christmas for a Cause, a project that Joel and I put on last year, and are planning to again this year!

Everything is going super well!! Callbacks/Auditions for Xtreme's Beauty & the Beast are almost at a close! We're hoping to cast the show after more callback this Friday.

And today, something dawned on me while talking to my sister about teaching/auditioning people - I actually LOVE all of my students. I was telling her how after everyone had their seperate audition, I would mouth to Linnea "I love them!" or "He/She is just the cutest!" or "What an improvement!" And although some of them may dislike me at times for having to be all "teacherish", I actually feel SO blessed to be able to teach such an amazing group of students.....not only with my Xtreme students, but with my Lindbjerg ones as well.

And when I discover that not all my students from the previous year come back again....I get a little sad! I truly miss the ones who have decided not to come back again this year. But I guess that's life, and God has another plan in store for them.

Anyways, I think that's about all I have to say right now! I'm trying to update my blog whenever I remember, and I am extremeley bored at the moment, which is why I'm writing here! (Hahaha)....



PS! I am now addicted to 3 new TV Shows:

1. The New 90210 (ok...I know....lame.....but actually has good moral points......so far...)
2. Privledged (which is on right after 90210. About a girl wanting to become a writer but ends up getting a job as a tutor for this BIG NAME lady's granddaughters - GOOD acting in it!!!)
3. So You Think You Can Dance Canada (How OBVIOUS is this?!)

WOW! I think that's all NOW......hahaha.......eerrr....

Tootle Tip!!

School Again! School Again! School Again!

It's not as exciting as the students in Anne of Green Gables makes it seem....hahaha.

Well, I've had a math class and an english seminar. I'm not dead....yet.

I'm really nervous/anxious about this Math class though. I haven't taken Math in 5 years. I've been trying to avoid it as much as possible, now I wish I had just gotten it all over with. OH well.

Anyways, I start teaching the homeschool kids on Friday, and I am just SO EXCITED! This year they are doing Beauty & the Beast! OH MY GOODNESS! It's going to be such a challenge and I am SO looking forward to it!

In other news, I'm trying to find a show to audition for! I'm just lacking self-confidence in my talent at the moment, and I think that's why I'm being so stubborn and unmotivated to audition for things. I think I'm scared of the rejection, but HEY, that's showbiz, right?!

Joel and I had our first official meeting for Christmas for a Cause today (YES, we are doing it AGAIN!) I am sooooo excited and I am praying that we are able to get a theatre free of charge! (please pray with me!)

I think that's about all for now! I'm sorry if some of my blogs sound depressing/melodramatic, I just write what comes to my head! I swear I'm not a sad/depressed person! (At least I hope not! :P )

Tootle Tip!
