Life In Spotlights

It's been a long week. Very busy. Now I have a mixed feeling of achievement and failing. Achievement for an wonderful run of performances of Us and Them, and failing as I am not up to date with school work. Rehearsal monday night and performance for the rest of the week did not leave time for anything else, so tomorrow will be a huge day for catching up.
Recap! Last sunday I rushed to complete my speech in the morning so I could go and meet Max and get some time out of the house before rehearsal. He's a bit hard to bear, as he creeps me out entirely half the time. I think the worst part of the day was having to let him pay for my lunch as I was poor by that point. He did owe me though, so I guess that's ok. It was actually a nice afternoon. Louis joined us mid-afternoon, and catching up with him is generally fun. Then it was heading to rehearsal. Excellent as that meant catching up with HaBYT's wednesday cast, who I hadn't seen in a long time. After rehearsal I went back to see Louis again. Subway cookies for dinner, wipeout, and NCIS. I am pleased with my choice of returning there.
Monday called for another rehearsal straight after school. That finished earlier than expected, so I thought I had an hour to wait until the parents would be able to take me home, but their meeting ran late so I had two hours. I spent it at Louis's. Without Louis. That was relaxing, as I just chilled on the couch watching TV.
On tuesday I left school early to see Rachel about the hair modelling. She put a treatment in and my hair smelt like coconut for days. Yum. And of course, tuesday was opening night. It was a really small audience, but the small audience included a reviewer, who gave us a fantastic review. As the shows went on energy in them changed, and each night was a bit different. Fittingly final night was the best. The casts were excited and it all went off amazingly. All of my friends, family and associates that watched throughout the week gave great feedback. They all loved the show. The most nerve wracking audience member was Dan, but his comments were a relief, as he loved it.
After the final performance we after-partied. I now have sore legs from doing the twist and breakdancing, but it was all worth it. There were a few sad farewells for members that won't be returning, but it was a good night. Being up til 1am when I had work today maybe wasn't that good, but it was worth it.
In other exciting news, my BDO ticket and accomodation is booked. All that is left is transport, which won't be booked for another month. Definitely looking forward to that, along with all the other things happening in the holidays. =]
