Goals I've completed:
2. Hang out with Tanner
Yesterday was my first day of school. My homeroom was in the theatre with Mrs. Brazzill, who is going to be my theatre company director. She's really friendly, bubbly, and funny. I practiced my monologue a couple of times, and I already have most of it memorized. I think it's believable? I can't really tell since it's me doing it. Today, this girl named Cheryl who was in theatre last year told me that she was doing a monologue from the Princess Bride. She also said that Mrs. Brazzill had told her that she would like to see monologues from Shakespeare because apparently we are doing Shakespeare this year. But I don't want to do a monologue from Shakespeare or from a movie because I want to do something that hasn't been done before so there are no comparisons and I can set my own bar.
So this is the monologue I chose:
Tina is angry with her boyfriend, or should I say ex-boyfriend. Her anger and humiliation is so intense that her eyes begin to glaze, but proudly holds back the tears as she gives him a peace of her mind.
Tina: What do you thing you're doing?! I mean as if it wasn't bad enough you asked Ginny out on a date behind my back, but I had to find out about it, from Shannon, who couldn't wait to throw it in my face. I was so humiliated, I could have died! I thought we were supposed to be going out...isn't that what you told me Monday? What ever happened too, "Tina, you're different from other girls," or, "I feel like I can tell you anything", or, "I knew you were special the first time I saw you"? Were you just playing me? What do you want from me? (Pause) No! You know what? I don't even care...this whole thing was just a pathetic lie to satisfy your ego, wasn't it?...I mean you didn't even have the decency to break it off before you jumped into something else. I can't believe I fell for the whole honesty routine...Just leave, I can't even look at you, you make me sick (Pause) Please, just leave!...O.K...I admit it, you got me, so take your little trophy, add me to your collection and get out of my life!
I think I'm pretty good at sounding upset, angry, exasperated, etc. 'Cause I have a lot of practice. :P So this is a good choice for me in my opinion.
Today was my second day of school. My first class was Math with Mr. Kerkhoven, who I love! He's my favouritest math teacher ever! I'm so glad I got him for grade 12. He gave us work today though. >:( We don't HAVE to do it though. But it's review, so we should. I have two friends in this class: Pardeep and Jen. Unfortunately, there's a seating plan so I don't sit beside either of them.
My next class was P.E. 12 with Mr. Vandop. I also have two friends in this class: Silva and Hayley. Unfortunately, they are friends with each other so they will most likely choose each other for the teaching assignment. And then I'd be partnerless... I don't want to be stuck with someone I don't know. D: Hopefully we can make a group of three. Last year I did, but that was because there was an odd number of people in the class. I should count the people in my class tomorrow...
After that was lunch and my friends and I ate in the same place that we have sat since grade 8. It's great. :D
Then I had Geography 12 with Ms. Ackroyd. I have tons of friends in this class! There's Sarah, Maggie, Taryn, Jai, Daniela, and Nanlar (YAY!)!!!! This class is apparently a lot like Earth Science... which is... um... not what I wanted. I wanted to be colouring in maps. Haha! XD And at the beginning of the class, Ms. Ackroyd said, "If you joined this class just so that you'd be drawing maps the whole time, you're going to be very disappointed!" I was like, "Dammit!"
Next, I had Visual Arts: Media Arts 12, which is photography with Mrs. Muti, who was on maturnity leave last year. I also have a ton of friends in this class! They are Meaghan, Tas, Jimmy, Hayley, Crystal, and Candice. :3 We didn't learn anything about this class because we had an assembly.
The assembly was disturbing. There is so much shit that grade 12's need to do to graduate. I want to get a job, but I don't think I'll be able to with all of the crap I have to do! ALL of my classes sounds intense and pretty much homework-driven, I have theatre company which takes up a HUGE amount of time, I have my grad transitions package to do, and I have all the other grad stuff! How could I possibly manage all of that AND a job??? My mom suggested I just get a weekend job, but I think I'd need the weekends for rest and to catch up on everything! Man, this year is going to be stressful. I can tell already. I hope I can get a 4.0 GPA again. Last year I almost didn't. And grade 12 is undeniably tougher.
Sighhh, I just need to keep my head on straight. And study a lot. And practice a lot. And... ARRRGHHHHHH.
