Auditions.

I suppose this wasn't the best year to try NaNoWriMo for the first time, what with AP classes and college apps and all.  I kind of gave up about a week in.  Maybe I'll try again next year.  I'm just not going to talk about college or school right now because that's way too stressful for me to even think about.  Instead, I'll talk about auditions.

Earlier this week, I auditioned for this improv event at my school.  It's basically like the tv show Whose Line Is It Anyway?  For auditions we played a bunch of improvisational games, most of which involved being given a character and a quirk and you have to act it out and have one person try to guess what your character/quirk is.  But there's lots of other things too, like 4 headed musical star, Freeze, etc.  Anyway, there were maybe 20 to 30 people who auditioned for that, and 8 people were chosen and I was one of those 8!  So that's pretty exciting!  I'm glad I'll have something to do after school again until December 9!  Except the problem is I'll need to get a ride to Bosco (where rehearsals will be held).

Also, coming up on December 10, are auditions for my school's musical next semester, Once On This Island.  All the drama kids at my school are really excited for this show, and I am too (well, I'd be included in the 'drama kids' bit because I am one, but nevermind).  It could very well be my last audition for a school play or musical, and I've never done a musical before.  I'm sad, nervous, and excited at the same time.  The song my director told me to sing is called The Human Heart, and it's for the part of Erzulie.  I really want the part of Erzulie.  Like, I've never wanted a part this badly before.  I've been practicing singing the song for a few weeks and I'm going to continue to practice until auditions.  At auditions, all I can do is try to kick some ass.

A few weeks ago, I recorded a video of myself singing The Human Heart in preparation for auditions.  If you'd like to see that, you can do so here.  Now, I should probably get back to doing something productive, like cleaning my room, or working on college apps, or practicing my song...  Aimee signing off now.

Books read: I should just take off this counter.  I'll try again next year and see if I can read more books and keep better track of them.
