Lifestyles of the high school Tori.

Monday was the first day of school. I was pumped so pumped but I learned a few things. Onegood two bad and one EXTREMELY AWESOME.
So I go to my first period (math on the newly opened second floor!) I expect the same hi-I'm-Mr.-so-an-so-this-is-who-I-am/this-is what-I-did-over-the-summer but Oh no! The minute the bell rings he hands us a workbook and a warm-up! Then he GIVES HOMEWORK!!!! ON THE FIRST DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's how I learned high school is not middle school and they treat it as such.
I learned something pleasanter in choir the next period. I learned once a concert choir girl always a concert choir girl always one and what does that entail oh I think you know. It means we where probably the most talented and loud choir Granite Ridge. So we carried our loudness and talent to CN mixed choir. How is that good news? Let's the guys are silent and less talented so the girls constantly annoy the guys with our loud chatting and our rocking out to our absolutely perfect harmonies. ;)
In other choir news. The high mixed choir/women's chorale (I'm in both) travel more than my GR choir and drama class combined! So we're going to San Diego! And when there we're going to Sea World and Six Flags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and a festival but whatevs!)
After the day was over mine wasn't I had an audition. I thought I did well and I even got a few compliments on my song I'm flying. Callback lists posted that night. My name was not on it. That was a sad lesson that no matter how many times I learn it I always manage to forget it around audtion time. It is "Don't wish don't start wishing only ruins the heart." -Wicked. In other words don't hope too much or get too confident or you'll be more sorry than ever you hoped in the first place. I was really disappointed about that. :'(
Only other piece of news is I've completed one week of semenary. IT WAS HARD! I fell asleep on the couch for two hours on Wednesday night and still slept soundly that night. And today I fell asleep for around a half hour at Aunt Am's.

Into the Woods

As you may have noticed in my past posts I like live theater a lot. A whole lot. See all the stuff about wonderful town and my outrage at the Phantom of the Opera sequel. I also LOVE performing live theater. This year, my high school freshmen year, my school is doing Sontime's Into the Woods. That's a good one! I've been memorising the songs all summer and I've got them pretty much tucked away in my head! They're great and odd and funny here's a funny line from a song called Into the Woods. (Ooo that names a shocker considering the name of the musical! That's like the show Oklahoma having a song called........ Oklahoma!)This line describes an old cow.
"There's a lump on her rump big enough to be a hump!"
This one is something Little Red Riding Hood says about going to Granny's.
"Into the woods to bring some bread to Granny who Is sick in bed. Never can tell what lies ahead. For all that I know, she's already dead!"
Silly huh! And of course I'm even more phsyed because Brother-in-Law Chris was in it (the wolf) and all the time we were in Utah he and I sang the songs all the time! Julie must be sooooooo bored of "Hello Little Girl"!
I can't wait! I'd love to be the witch or the bakers wife (but I'd never take that role!) or Little Red Riding Hood (but I'm too tall to play a little girl!). If I get in at all which is to be seen the role I'd most likely get is Jack's mother (the one who says "there's a lump on her rump").
I'm gonna audition with the song I gotta crow from Peter Pan! That's a fave of mine! The oddest part of the whole thing is that the audition process is that the the audition is on
THE FIRST DAY OF THE SCHOOL YEAR!!!!!!!
Crazy huh? I've made a collage of pix of the different chacters like Snow White and the wolf ect. and if I don't get in I'll only be able show it for less than a day and it's a good one (would put it on here but it won't let me!) CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
