FINAL CAST LIST POSTED!

So today has been a very very VERY long day. I've been so nervous, my stomach has been a wreck and I've got so much nervous energy that my friends think I'm crazy. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night because I was up late making earrings for all my friends as their Christmas presents. Luckily there were plenty of distractions.

My last class, sewing, a kid came in with half a dozen packets. I got one. I opened it and saw a Beauty and the Beast script. OMGOSH! I pulled out a white slip of paper. it read:

"You have been selected for the role of : 'Belle'"

OMGOSH.

I dropped the paper, and my mouth hung open, my heart stopped and my lungs stopped taking in air. My eyes started watering.

YES!!! I am soooooo happy!

Then the letters for Rotary Honor Roll came in (which I also applied for). My friend Meghan was begging to open it so she opened it and looked. She flashed me this huge grin. I GOT IN! I shot my fist into the air in victory. Unfortunately, I was the only one in my class to be picked.

Today has been SUCH AN AMAZING DAY!!!!

Audition!

So my audition was today. I HAVE A COLD! I stayed home from school yesterday and my voice is BARELY back. I got some help Tuesday night from Rob's sister and mom (THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH!) They gave me some helpful tips about my performance.

I went in and was super nervous but I tried not to show it. After all, they can't have a nervous, jittery Belle up on stage. I used the tips my friends gave me and sang strong. I didn't stumble over my lines and I projected well.

Can't wait for callbacks and finally the FINAL CAST LIST!!!
