What's going on...

Well, let's see...

Everything at school is kind of frantic, since this is the last week of classes and all our final presentations and everything are being done this week. I have my final exam in theory on Wednesday, as well as the final presentation of our scene in Scene Study. Our Shakespeare show is a week from Thursday, and we're kind of going at a stop-and-go pace with rehearsing that with Peter, the teacher/director. I feel confident about our performance, but both my scenes definitely need more work before they're ready.

I had my Voice & Text interview last Tuesday, and I have my jazz and tap interviews together on Friday (since Natalie teaches me for both classes), and my Movement and Ballet interviews next Monday. Next Monday is also a yoga class instead of ballet (we have to come in early for the yoga class, then have our interviews afterwards). And Then Wednesday there are two final term presentations (I believe it's Dance History 2 and Cabaret 2) and Thursday we have our Shakespeare show followed by the other half of term 3's Shakespeare show. I'm ushering the 5th term play once and the 6th term musical twice (although I can't remember exactly when I'm doing that... I have to check with Ina), and then I just have my Ronterview on August 2nd, and then I fly home on the 5th!

Wow, it's going to be a busy couple of weeks!

Oh, some good news: I heard about a really good deal for a Dell Notebook (Insprion 6000) and colour printer for $1296 (the laptop alone is usually $1900) and Mom bought it for me! I'm sooo excited about that! THANKS MOM!!

Obligatory Update

To stave off Mom's worried emails that because I haven't posted in a while I may have dropped off the face of the planet... :P

School's the same as usual... a lot of work, and a lot of fun. The end of term really crept up on us all. Suddenly we have two weeks until final presentations and then Ronterviews, and then break. WOAH!

Toronto's the same as it's been since oh.. May? Hot and muggy, although the last couple of days haven't been as bad as it can get around here. Mom sent me a Japanese folding fan, and I used it all day today- it definitely helped!

Tommorrow night my friend Steff from school is having a show with a bunch of her 'boys', and I'm thinking of going. It's all original music, and her cousin's hiphop dance group from Montreal is going to perform as well. It sounds like a lot of fun!

Sunday I have a rehearsal for one of my Shakespeare scenes at school from 3 to 5, and then I'm rehearsing my Scene Study scene from 6:30 until 8, or later if need be, at Brie's house. Then Scene Study again Monday 5-6 and Tuesday 5:20-7, and my other Shakespeare scene Thursday 12-1 and Friday 11-12.

Phew...
