Scout Week

So I'm not sure how much I've said about my hometown, but in case I've already said this, here's a refresher. The town is almost 100% revolved around the post secondary school. Population is roughly 100 people, likely 95 of those people are involved one way or another with either the school, which is mainly an acting school, or the connecting dinner theatre.

Now, as anyone who knows me knows, I'm an artist. I'm not an actress or a performer of any kind. I am purely an artist. Visual artis to be precise. And this school offers some courses that could be totally beneficial to me.

If I take Open Studies, then I could pick and choose from the offered courses, doing thugs such as set design, the drawing class, maybe something like Oral Comm to help prepare me for university. The thing that makes this really worthwhile though is that 1) because it's open studies, I won't have a full course load, and I can still work as muh as I need to (or as much as I can, anyway), and 2) because my mom is a salary employee, I get a super good bargain. I'm still paying for res (my parents house is about ten minutes away, and I don't have a car. So living on res would make everyone's life easier) and food, but that's why I'm working hardcore this summer!

So anyway, the reason I'm mentioning this now is because tomorrow is the beginning of my scout week. A scout week here means that people who are applying can come (I actually think its mandatory now, due to some.. Incidents) and get a feel for the place. Meet the teachers, have the teachers meet them, shadow students on their classes and rehearsals and such, and yeah- just get a good feel for the place. It helps the students and the teachers decide whether this is the place for them.

It is going to be so weird, being a scout in the school and town in which I've grown up. I'm friends with most of the teachers, so making the switch from peer to .. Whatever is higher than peer, I imagine will be super difficult. Or maybe really simple! I bed it'll be harder when I actually come here as a student in the fall.

If they accept me, I guess.

One thing I'm super iffy about is that at the end-ish of the week I'm gonna have to perform a memorized speaking piece (I already have a sonnet memorized for my conveinence) and I have to sing a song.

Now, like I just said a few paragraphs up- I'm not a performer. I am not comfortable in any means in getting up in front of people, even if it's just two, and putting myself out there. Just no. A big fat no. I'm gonna sing Part of Your World from Little Mermaid, because I know it super well and I'm eight, and I'm pretty decent at it, but the very thought at having to do this.. Well, it reminds me as to why I'm not pursing acting :P

I have a Drivers Ed lesson tomorrow too. Whih I AM excited for. So it should be good. I'm hoping to get my license really soon. I already failed the exam once due to my inability to partallel park close enough to the curb. That, and the instructor had a piece of wood shoved up his rear.

Speak soon!

P.S. The birthday party went perfect. I hung out with my couple guy friends whom I've known for forever, who came out just for this party, and it was great! Defs a highlight of the week. AND, bonus! Both dudes are homeschooled. So our communication levels and understandings are like the exact same. I know what they're saying or thinking just by their facial expressions. It's great. I accident flung a marker at one of their faces. That was less great, but pretty sure all the flirty highschool girls made him forget. Yay!
