You can't help but your hopes up for Valentine's Day. Thankfully, I was distracted by the fact that it was a Tuesday, and it was very stressful academically. Plus there was yet another play rehearsal.

I'm in the school musical this year as a chorus member in the background because if you are in the top group in chorus, you are in the musical unless you have a really good reason not to be in it. But I have enjoyed the musical, and we are really good, if I do say so myself. Our second show was even better than the first, which isn't supposed to happen. We are having one last show tonight, and then the whole musical ordeal will be over.

When I say the musical is really good, I'm not kidding. There are these awards for high school musicals, and a judge came on opening night. He called our Fine Arts Director and asked a bunch of questions, including whether or not all the actors were students. We were so good, they thought we had some professionals in our play. Since my school isn't a performing arts school, it's amazing how great our plays are. We have an amazing theater tech program, and amazing choral program, and an amazing drama program even though we are an academic-based school.

Anyways, the musical has been a lot of work and has taken up a lot of time I haven't been able to go to track practice all week. Next week, I'll start back and be behind. But I'm glad I was in the musical. I got to know the people in chorus so well, and we're all closer.
