UPDATE!!!! So, about that whole "worst storm I have ever seen in my entire life" thing.... Yeah, it started on Saturday. There was a flippin' typhoon going on out there, and we had a show to perform. The lights kept flickering and periodically going out for short periods of time before the show, and we were all freaking out 'cause it was the first show all year that we were actually prepared for. And guess what - nothing happened! The show went smoothly, and we even got a standing ovation! FINALLY!!!!! Power was out at home, though. We couldn't even take out the car, 'cause the garage door is electric. Which didn't seem to be that big a deal.... The next day, I was supposed to see Taming of the Shrew with a friend I never mentioned, but he couldn't make it. So I invited my friend who I have mentioned (you know her as Ariella, but you will never get the joke), and it seemed to be going good. Except one thing: the storm was still going into Sunday. Power was still down, and Ariella's parents didn't want her going out. So I called up my dad (on my cell phone, of course), and he came to pick me up and we took a train in - one of the only lines still running, in fact. The funny thing is that the storm stopped a few minutes later. After the show, I was informed that the power STILL wasn't back, so I informed my English partner (who's also our valedictorian) that I wouldn't be able to complete my part of the assignment, but our teacher couldn't really penalize us for it anyway. I wasn't even sure if I'd be able to read, 'cause my mom wanted the flashlight, and if I used a candle I might have "accidentally" burnt the book. And then the power came back. So I had to do the assignment after all. In other news, I have been inspired with the belief that the impossible can, in fact, be done, and have decided to work toward the goal of cleaning and organizing the entire Pit by the end of this school year! It's going to be intense, but we're already making some progress - the main problem will getting our dear director to actually order us a dumpster for massive Pit Clean-Out days.... There's something else on my mind too, but I'm not gonna tell you guys about it yet, if at all. Oh yeah, and did I mention that the today's English presentation was epic? The quotes I found impressed both my teacher and our valedictorian! And finally, I've been accepted into Emerson!

UPDATE!
So, that stuff that I didn't want to tell you guys about is over now, and.... I'm DEFINITELY not telling you.... Sorry!
Anyway, tomorrow's gonna be crazy: first I'm doing the Physics Olympics (I'm a nerd AND a geek!) and then it's Hello Dolly at night! I'll tell you all how it goes!
Hm.... That was a short update.... It's not that my life is boring, just that I'm telling you the interesting stuff....

Musical theater and physics aren't the interesting stuff? Weird.

UPDATE! Physics Olympics was a lot of fun, even though we didn't win anything. We pretty much just bombed 3/5 of the events. On one of them, we came really close, but were way off on the last question. The big event, Physics Bowl, was our best one. We won the first round, and made it to the finals. There were finalists plus one wild card, which wound up coming out of our match. And yet, even though we'd beaten them before, they came in first place (and won the whole competition too) while we came in fourth, the one finalist not to win a trophy. Hello Dolly went great! Funniest Improv Moments ('cause those are always great): On Friday, Vandergelter broke his cane and said "That was my favorite cane!" On Saturday, two glasses broke, so one waiter said "I'm so sorry, I guess this is just the night of broken glass" (and he wasn't even thinking of Krystallnacht, ironically), then the Head Waiter told him to the get the broom, and I just pointed at him, shouted "He did it!" and ran off. Standing ovations all around, and Saturday night was sold out!
