Remember when I told you if I got offered chorus, I wouldn't know what to do? Take it? After all, turning down parts is not something I do. In fact, I've NEVER done it.

Well, this was a first. I said no. But I didn't say no without a reason. If I had gotten Chava (so close, yet so far), I wouldn't have cared about missing some auditions because it's such a great role. But I didn't get it. And being in the chorus would prevent me from auditioning for four or five other productions, some of which I would love to be in. So I said no. If I didn't have a reason, I probably would not have, but I do. Plus, I've never been up for a big part in a musical, so I don't know how I'll react to seeing another person being Chava (knowing myself, I wouldn not be bitter or anything, but still). So yeah... I am now production free.

Sort of. I've officially gotten my part in the historical tour I've done since I was fourteen. I had the same part for the past three years, but now they've cut our scene from the tour- they've decided to make the time period different, and the house doesn't fit. So I audtioned for a few roles. I didn't do very well, but luckily they saw what I could do at my first audition. There was one part, the one of a sufragette, that I really wanted, but the director said she was already nervous about having any female on the streets of that city alone (it's not the safest), let alone a seventeen year old who looks fourteen (I guess she's forgotten that I was on the streets alone all those years before, but it was only for about five minutes at a time. But I did get my share of scares).

Anyway, I am happy now because I can finally read for fun again- I finished Crime and Punishment (for my English class) yesterday at 5:30; Ugh, what a terrible book! And I finished it none too soon because school starts tomorrow! I'm nervous about regular school, because of my class load, but I'm excited for theatre school- it's going to be great!
