so i stayed home from school under the guise of being sick and now i truly feel awful... power of suggestion i guess. but it kinda sucks because i really can't afford to miss any more school days... like tomorrow. i guess i'll go and be disruptive with my sneezing and coughing. i refuse to wear anything but sweatpants. i can't believe i'm going to DC in less than two weeks and i'm going to have to dress up for five days. and "dressing up" does not mean putting on my non-paint-splattered tennis shoes, much as i wish it did. *sigh*
so, little women came and went. everyone seemed to like the songs i found, and i would have been entirely happy if sarah had done a half-decent job with the board. but she didn't. however, i have my first credit as sound designer and i could not be more thrilled. reggie was pleased with my performance as a non-speaking piece of scenery, too. which is funny, since the fans had a bigger part than me. hey, a compliment from reggie is a compliment from reggie any way you look at it.
bruce cast me in circle modern like i was sure he wouldn't and for one shining second i was simply thrilled that i wouldn't have to find a prom date. and then i realized that the dates for circle modern are that of the dates for company. and then i got a bit distraught, because asm for a mainstage musical is quite a job. sound design would be more exciting, but what can you do. i'm in charge of sound for brigadoon already and that should take up enough of my time as it is. but i'm rather heartbroken because i was very happy that reeva was so excited that i was going to help her. she seems to think that i'm dependable and responsible and able to handle things. too bad no one else -- like my mother -- agrees. but again, i take a compliment where i can get it. and i would like to pick company over circle modern, because i do love theatre. but since this is likely my last shot at a circle modern show -- and it certainly is if i turn this one down -- then i'm guessing i'd better just do it.
