Woooooow. Today was so insane.
I woke up this morning with the thought of, "Holy shit. It's today." After two cups of coffee, I started twitching. :P And then, in the shower, I had this moment where I felt sort of like I got shot in the stomach. The preamble to my entire day.
Psych was spent with my leg bouncing, trying to read, but faiiiiiling. Because when I wasn't running lines through my head, I had Great Rock Concert stuck in it. (It's a song from the musical.)
Drama was good, though. We ran over a couple of things, and it felt good, and I helped Josh with his lines as I've been doing all week, and he was getitng them down, and it worked.
Lunch was spent running lines with Josh. And I drank a Pepsi. More caffeine = bad idea, in retrospect. Didn't stop me, though.
World Religions, I plotted my fake religion for my summative, which got my mind off the summative, although every once in a while, I'd catch Michelle's eye (she was in it too), and get super nervous. :P
Math... I had another Pepsi. BAD idea. I had SO much caffeine in my system, and the carbonation... I felt like I was going to be sick. :P But I didn't do any work, so it was okay.
Then... it was prep time.
I was freaking out for most of it. I had these moments of near-hyperventilation, and anxiety attacks. :P But Josh enlisted my help with his lines again, which made me not so nervous.
Until five minutes before the play.
And then, before I knew it, it started. And... it was GOOD. And the audience actually liked me, which I was really worried about. See, my character was out there and crazy and silly, so the audience REALLY needed to like her, or I would have bombed. And they did. And it was GOOD.
I didn't screw up, either. :P Except when I forgot to take a breath during my solo, so there was a pause. But afterwards, it was so great... I had people I'd never met before telling me that I did a good job. :) So awesome.
Oh, and Crossett, normally stingy with compliments, prefering to mock everyone, gave me a huge compliment. He was telling a grade 9 who was leaving to do his character analysis on me, but then said, "Maybe you shouldn't, there won't be enough to write about. She's too good." I was super surprised and had no idea how to respond to it. :P If he had been his normal self, I would have come up with some witty comeback... but it didn't work. :P
And now... I'm half relieved that it's over, and at the same time, I wish I could do it again. :P I know I can do it now, so it would be better, you know? But... Dude. It was so good. And Josh remembered his lines, which made ME feel good, because I worked with him all the time on them. Every time he would get a little thing right that he often got wrong, I would be backstage, pumping my fist in the air. I think people thought I was crazy. 'Sall good. :P
