Play Week... AAARGH!

What a stressful week this has been so far, and will continue to be….

My drama team is putting on a production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest this Friday and Saturday, and, of course, drama queen that I am, I'm in it. I will be playing the fabulous Laetitia Prism, a role that feels like it was cut out for me. I love being in plays, I do, but, as anyone who's ever been in a play knows, the last week before the show is the most stressful experience of the whole process. Well, sometimes auditioning is more stressful, true. I suppose what I really should say is that the week before the play is the most stressful part of the process if you already know whether or not you're in the play.

At first, I wanted the role of Gwendolen, but I  didn't realize how well suited I was to the role of Miss Prism. Now that I've memorized my lines, and really gotten a feel for the character, I couldn't imagine myself as anyone but Miss Prism. I even have a Laetitia Fan Club at this point in time.

I'm just  tad overwhelmed by the sudden  and terrifying mixture of school, extracurriculars, church, home life, sleep, and all that. There's so much I need to do, and not a lot of time to do it. Pray for me, wish me luck, et cetera. I'm in a tight spot right now.
