And the Golden Globe goes to....

ME! Psh yeah right....maybe one day

Today was chore day, the least favorite day of the week. My list of chores is so rediculously long, its crazy. Good pay, but since I did it a day late my pay got cut in half.

After that whole crap buisness was done, I went to hang out with Haley (remember...the one whos sweet 16 was 2 months ago...yess) Fun stuff. Ate dinner, watched a terrible movie (Letters to Juliet) and made chocolate chip cookies..my addiction has come back....

Cast list for Just So came out at 8 45 last night.....I got the Dingo Dog!! :D Mucho excitement. Fun belting part.

Golden Globes tonight were cute. Glad Christian Bale won..he was AMAZING in The Fighter. Without all that facial hair and girl haircut, hes cute :) (think Dark Knight..)

Off to sleep. Enjoy the day off tommorow, as I know I will

Callbacks...

Today consisted of Just So Callbacks...which were interesting. Woke up at 9, left at 9 30, tea in hand. First part of callbacks consisted of us learning a dance number and singing a song. Very hard. It was a fun dance though. After that they did misc readings and singing and what not. I sang for one other character, the dog, who I now REALLY want. She's a crazy belter and you can make her so zany :) I think I was too crazy when I did my callback...oh well. After that I was done! Parents picked me up and we went and ate at Chick Fil A for lunch. Got a milkshake to rid of my stress. It was good.

Now, it's time to wait...gah. This is the worst part. So much anticipation..i'll try to watch a movie since Dreamgirls isn't helping much. Tootles.

AUDITIONS

So, my secret is out. Today, I went and auditioned for a show called Just So! It's pretty cool...but yes thats what I did. My whole day today was just so awesome I have to do it in increments

This Morning:
Woke up, fixed my room, and then Dad and I left to visit my voice teacher. She just gave birth 2 days ago, and so we went to see little Tai! He is so cute, and looks so perfect. When I feel like getting off my lazy bum, I'll put up a picture. Went home.

This Afternoon/ Evening:
Got ready for the audition! Picked up Marisa and went to the audition place. Sang BB and B. But here's the best part....one of the directors from another show was offering Next to Normal tickets for $26!!!! My family bought all of them :) So now, my mom, dad, Marisa, and I are going to see Next to Normal!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D
Ate at Bull Taco ( the best ) for dinner, and now I am here waiting for the callback list. Fun stuff. not.

But I'm so excited for N2N. Also, I found out I got an A on my math final and a B on my chem final - my 2 worst subjects. I never do good on finals! Today's a good day.

Now I wait for the list. Asta luega

Midnight Post

OH..yes. This is a midnight blog post. Since finals (thank GOD) are over, there is a lovely 4 week break ahead.

"School Day" consisted of English, were we took the easiest final and pretty much did whatever the rest of the period, and Chem, which was the hardest final ever. I was so tired last night from studying. After the final, I started craving In N Out, so I secretly text my faja to ask. Made me go to the gym first.....fathers...
It was all good though cause in the end was a double cheeseburger with ketchup and a chocolate/vanilla shake. Yes, now you know what I get at In N Out.

When I got home, I feel asleep. No joke. I remember going up to my room and then BOOM. I wake up 4 hours later really really hot. Mom came home, ate dinner, and I have just done randomnonsense on my computer all night. Well, not really....but I won't share about that until tommorow. And it is tommorow...well after I sleep

I want this SO bad.
I found it on the UO blog. So trippy.

Gave in and bought the West Side Story soundtrack. It's SO good! I love the music....so catchy.

Well, since something very important is going to happen...I'm going to go sleep.

FINALS

Ugh. Finals are 2/3 of the way done. The biggest and baddest one, Chem is tommorow, and I am not prepared. When it comes to time management, as you can tell, I S.U.C.K. I really need to work on that if I plan to be a dermatologist/hopeful performer.

Well anyway.....Hairspray. Yup. Its happening. I'm trying really hard to show Strong and Nicastero that I'm here! I'm going to work hard! I wont let being an understudy get me down no serie! Got to be the piano player for one of the vocal rehearsals. It's times like those when I thank GOD my parents forced me to finish piano lessons. So handy.....you have no idea.

A VERY important event is happening this Friday that I am not going to say on here due to various reasons..BUT when it happens I will tell. Mucho preperation must be made for it...so I will commence with that and learning Italian opera and "studying" for chem.

Me and My Naked Face

Waking up today, I decided to dare myself. Triple dog dare! I dared myself to not wear any makeup to school. For some people this would just be the most impossible thing in the world, as I once believed, but when I got up this morning I just didn't really feel like putting any on. Plus I was running late.

So what happens, then, when you dont wear makeup to school?
No one cares.
As I figured. I sure as heck didn't care so why would anyone else? I did learn however that my face is a lot paler than I thought it was. Or transparent. I think transparent is the better word, as odd as that sounds. In math someone asked me if I was sick. Only comment of the day. Score!

This whole week revolves around finals. Oh joy, the things that determine the final grades of our sophomore first semester lives. Definatly looking foward to it.

Reading below, I realize I never commented on how West Side Story was.
It was amazing!
Tony = as hot as a tamale
Maria = beautyfull voice, but my parents didn't like her (when it comes to musicals and singing, my parents are very selective)
Anita = so so so awesome! new dream role...if I ever master how to be a PR
Riff = same as Tony. I like his hair.

Dancing was pretty solid, and everything was really well done. Afterwards they had an actor talk back, where if you stay long enough, the actors will come out and you can ask them questions. I got to ask the last one, in which I clearly showed my enthusiasm. They were all so friendly and now all of their websites are in my favorites, in case they ever perform again in this area. Good show :D

Should I now attempt to study for these highly anticipated finals? Probably. Gah. I hate studying when I'm not the studying mood.

I REALLY... REALLY....

Hello my little neglected blog. Let me share with you the past few days of my obnoxious life.

Yesterday I woke up and my dad told me I was going to the gym and that was that. My dad is a big fittness person so, heaven forbid if anyone misses a day of working out then you are bound to get fat and can't have any sweets or anything.  So I got up and decided to not wear nutin on my face, but then I looked at my face in the mirror and my moderate acne and redness screamed "adolecent with big boobs". Put on a  little concelear, and then I just became "big boobs". Oh well, story of my life. Went to the gym, came back and got clean so mom and I could go do some shoppin at North County Fair. We had to return some things and, since we had time to kill, we went to the big ass F21. Madre got overwhelmed and I actually found some things. Score.

Then today, I woke up with this desire to bake some chocolate chip cookies. Now, my ccc obsession goes back a couple years ago when, on one random day, I bought a box of Duncan Hines (I think thats what it called...) CCC mix. Ever since, I've been hooked. But anyway, when I go down to look for some CC, find out my dad threw them away. I REALLY wanted to make those cookies, so Dad-e-o made a deal. He would buy me some CC if we walked down to the local Ralphs to go get them. Now our local Ralphs that we never shop at is 2 miles away, plus includes hills there and back. But I REALLY wanted to make those cookies. So I went. It was tiring, but not too bad. And now, there is a beautyfull plate of cookies on our counter. Rest of my day shall continue with the annoyant torture of studying for finals. And learning Italian opera. Fun stuff there. The amount of cookies I've eaten today is so disgusting, I'm not even going to share.

Off to study

Always performing,
rach

OH. yeah.
