okay, so like I'm realllllly excited that we have a new One Act play, because no offense to anyone who likes the play "Animal Farm", but I really don't think it's fun and/or good play to do when competing for a state title. I mean, if you have ever read the book before it's actually a great allegory on the oppressive state of Russia when it was going through it's communist phase way back when as it uses animals and humans to portray the different dictators and citizens who played a role in this event. But as far as a play goes, I got to say it's pretty boring. Even if you get the most superb acting from the best high school students in theatre, it would still be a bit of a monotonous play filled with seemingly endless lines from one monologue to the next. but NOW our school is doing a one act that might as well be the complete one eighty from the previous one: "Andromeda Galaxy!", an awesome play that portrays the mind of a troubled young girl through characters from Star Trek, making it an amazing and exciting play to watch for people who either love Star Trek or love to make fun of it (like the movie "Vampires Suck!!!") To say the least it's going to be awesome. I would know. I've already read it.

argh.

so recently my life has become really really stressful. Between work, school, college and SAT prep, and just plain dealing with my family stuff i barely have anytime to breathe. Everything is always go go go, I never have time to just sit down with milk and cookies and enjoy watching an episode of the 70s show because whenever I do I'm either thinking "Man I could be doing some school work or writing essays for early admissions," or my mom or dad will storm in and tell me to do so before I can even think it. I knew this year was going to be the hardest academically, so I guess I'm just really starting to feel the pressure of everything right now. And it's only September. It also doesn't help that my parents are always on my back about this kind of stuff constantly so much that I want to scream. A lot of times I will just stay at school longer and do my homework there or hop in my car and ride all the way to Barnes and Nobles just so I can do my homework in peace, which has actually proved very effective as I find fewer and fewer distractions whenever I go. Anyway, it's just a lot of stuff deal with at one time. Thank goodness for youth and theatre.

Party in the UGA~!

So this weekend......is going to rock!! I'm serious, I'm so pumped! Want to know why? First I get to wake up at 3:00 am on Saturday so my parents and I can get a head start on the road to Athens, so we can go see UGA's first home game with my sister Calli and her friends! (who are really sweet by the way.) It's going to be probably really hot outside, but I'm looking forward to tailgating (for the first time!) and getting to wear a cute black and red outfit for the game, since apparently a baggy t-shirt and jeans are unacceptable according to my sister. After the game my parents and I are going our separate and I'm going to send the night in my sister's dorm (which we have ALL to ourselves!) Then, hopefully if we're not too tired, we're going to go somewhere with my sister's friends and go party somewhere! I think, I wonder what a college party's like? My sister has never invited me too one before because we both are either too busy or she's afraid I'll get raped. Oh Well! That'll all change this weekend I guess! (....the partying i mean)
