This week, I've been at musical theater a lot for rehearsals because our show is next week. Last week on Wednesday, we went to the stage where we'd be performing the musical for the first time. When 7th period starts, instead of going to the choir room for musical theater, we just get our stuff and get on a bus that takes us straight to Bountiful Jr. High. We had to stay until about 5 pm each day. It was weird at first getting used to dancing and acting on the stage after only doing it in the choir room. We had to do a lot of adjusting to make everything to look okay. The boys weren't happy at first because the only way to get to stage right is through the band room which is the boys' changing room. It's kind of weird going through there. It sounds weird, but I could seriously care less if they're changing or not. As long as they're covered I don't mind. I only get off stage there at one time when they all have to all change, so I just keep my eyes straight forward and don't look around even though there are guys with their shirts off around me. I like just hanging in the girls changing room, and I'm going to bring my ipod so we can listen to music in there. We change in the choir room. Last Wednesday, we started tech. That's when we get to stay there until about 9 pm each night. On Wednesday, I left for about an hour and a half from 4:30 to 6 to go to an employee party at Lagoon with Sammy because I felt like it. So I stayed at Bountiful Jr. until 9 to 9:30 pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. They feed us dinner around 6:30 each day, and that food tastes amazing because we are super hungry by the time dinner comes around. The only part I don't like is when we have to all sit down and takes notes on what Ms. Swallow tells us we need to work on because that takes about an hour and it's so boring and it's right before dinner so we're starving. I thought it would be not very fun and and it would tiring staying there for 7 hours, but I actually had tons of fun. The people there are so much fun to hang out with, and we're getting much better at the musical. It used to take us about 4 hours to get through the whole musical, and now it only takes us a little over 2 which is perfect. Our choreography finally looks better and people aren't forgetting their lines or cues anymore and it's looking really good. I'm excited for the musical to start in three days! It's kind of weird that the musical will be over in a week. I don't want it to end, but at the same time I'm tired of it. We will have our final dress rehearsal until 9 tomorrow (I wouldn't be surprised if it went until later), and then the parent preview on Tuesday and then five shows after that. I'm going to straighten my hair for it which is going to be a pain, but my curly hair just doesn't work.
I was pretty tired when I got home around 9:45 pm on Friday night and thought about how I had to be to work in 12 hours. I attempted to watch TV with my mom, but fell asleep. I was so not in the mood to go to work. I got there a bit late, and my ride opened less than five minutes after I got there. There were two attendants, one operator, and a supervisor there. I was attending at the white roller coaster. For half of the time, I would wait for the ride to pull in and the people to get out. Then I walk down and make sure all the seats are up and no one dropped anything on the ride. Then when the gates open, everyone gets in and I get to run down one side of the train thing and bend over and push down on everyone's restraints as I pass them. I felt kind of weird doing it at first, but I got used to it and stopped feeling weird pushing down on people's upper legs. For the other half of the time, I just stood at the entrance and checked for loose articles and hand stamps. That was so exciting. It was a bit awkward just standing there and looking at people and and pointing at my hand to indicate hand stamps and trying to smile. Towards the end of the day, a girl lost her phone so we decided to go on a hat run. A bunch of supervisors and some operators stopped the ride, told everyone it would be a 10 to 15 minute wait, and quickly ran on the tracks and on the ground around the roller coaster to look for lost items and the phone. The guests weren't happy, and it was this other 15 year old and my job to talk to the guests and keep them happy and apologize for the delay. That was fun. I decided to go walk over to a couple of different groups of people and chat with them. I was tempted to go over to the microphone and start a sing-a-long to keep everyone happy. I was relieved when the ride started again. Tons of people lost their phone on that ride, but we found most of them in between the seats or at the front of the train. I also had this guy who wanted to go on the ride with a ginormous stuffed animal that he won at a game. I told him he couldn't take it on, and he was so mad. He started cussing at me and told me how stupid that was. When he turned away I just rolled my eyes. His friend saw me and saw how annoyed I was, so he just told his friend that they should just leave and that I'm right. Thank you. I also had a lot of people who noticed the sign that said "Shoes and Shirts must be worn" so then they would laugh and say "so does that mean I can take off my pants?" That was getting so old. People don't generally go around with no pants, but they do like to go around with no shoes or shirts so that's why we have the sign. This one guy asked me if he could take off his pants since the sign said nothing about wearing no pants, so I told him to go ahead. His friends and him then started laughing hysterically. Whatever.
When I got home that night, I had some friends come over later to hang out. We mostly hung outside and climbed on my roof. Ashley was at prom with her boyfriend. Later, we watched "Sixth Sense". I've seen the whole movie, but I've never seen it all at once before. It was spiffy. After the movie was over, it was just me and two guys left so we were just talking half asleep on my sofa when I heard people at the door. I just assumed it was Ashley and didn't want to answer the door, but they kept on knocking. I was so confused when I answered the door, because there were people in dresses and a guy in a suit, but it wasn't Ashley or her boyfriend and it was dark. Then a boy said "Hi Celeste!" I stared at them for a while until I realized that it was my cousin Amanda and her friends. The guy was a boy named Kyle Mollinet who I've known since 5th grade but I've never talked to him in person before. We used to email each other all the time and talk on msn and on facebook a couple of times and I saw him in their school musical because he was a main character. It was weird to see him. Anyway, Amanda and all of her friends came just to get her younger sister from my house and then left. My two friends then left and I went to bed. The End. That's my exciting week. Btw, here are some pictures of me playing lacrosse.
