That Bee thing

It is day three of Spelling Bee and I am already so tired! But in a good way.
I feel like its rehearsals on crack, 5 hours a day doesn't seem like it would be that bad but it is a lot to take in a once.

We have been doing a lot of character work for this show, which is not something I am used to doing with musicals, but with Dur it's pretty much a must. I have really liked that time to play though! Since I am the understudy I don't get to work on the characters on stage but when we do character work I get to work out these three different girls life's for myself. I have tired to take time each day to work on each one of them, but most. Something happened yesterday when we where doing once exercise. Something that it took 4 semesters of failed Misner to happen. I started to cry. Just putting my character in a situation made me cry! It was a very freeing moment. I also crafted an entire world for one of my characters that I am really excited to play with.

Today I got to go on all day as Marcy, which was fun and stressful all at once. It was fun to be someone, but it made it much harder to remember blocking for everyone else that I have to keep tabs on, especially while we where blocking a song. Granted I'm pretty sure no one wrote down much blocking for that song, things kept changing! But I think I have it all straight for the most part.

I'm not going to lie, now that we have started rehearsals it makes me more then a little scared to start classes. I am so tired at the end of every day that I don't want to do much. Once I throw class work in there things should get very interesting. I'm going to be glued to my planner this year. I must keep everything organized or I will lose a lot of time! Oh boy got to love a challenge!

On a completely different note, I want to cut my hair really badly. I want to chop it all off! Not because of the heat, not because I am upset just because I want to. I know that I can't really justify it though and I can't really do anything to it until after the show or Kaylee's wedding anyways. Basically by then my hair is going to be stupid long, but maybe by then the feeling will change who knows.

270 days till graduation!
