The Make-Out Hallway

Hello kids! As promised in my last post, I am going to discuss the make-out hallways of Clements High School for this blog. So here it is:

You know that hallway where the science hall, the english hall, and the front office meet? There is a stair well right there and the front door? Well, that is what I like to call the 6th period make-out hallway. If you walk by there in between 5th period and 6th period, you will see 18 couples canoodling and making out before they go to class. Apparently, these people are unable to wait til they are in a private area to say their intimate hello's and goodbye's. They feel that they must do it right there, in front of EVERYONE, including Mrs. Spradley.

Now, some people say that I only think that because I don't have a boyfriend, and I'm not in a relationship (by the way, thanks for the reminder...). But I don't think I would want my boyfriend to put their tongue in my mouth in front of everyone and their cousins! I like to think that I have more self control than that... There is also a couple who stands right outside of my classroom, who you can hearthem. Not only are they kissing, but they are whispering sweet nothings to each other...And don't get me started on Sarah Cheny and her boyfriend in that hallway!

On a different note, I finished blocking my show today, and it was so much fun! I have such an amazing cast, and I just can't wait until they have their lines memorized so I can really work with them on everything! They are so hard working and I love them all (except Jessi...). Things to look forward to for next time: The various things I just don't understand in the hallways of Clements.

Seven Minutes in Heaven

Well hello all! My name is Rosie, and this is my blog. For those of you who know me, you are probably going to expect this to be hilarious, which, of course, it will be. However it is also going to track my progress and process of my directorial debut of Seven Minutes in Heaven by Steven Levenson. SO, here goes.

Last week, I got to cast my show, and it was a much more stressful situation that I anticipated it to be. I have been part of the casting process before, but as a stage manager, where I just gave my input. But this time, I was the director. I called all of the shots. Trust me, I love being in charge, but that was so much pressure that I was just not ready to handle. But it all turned out wonderfully...hopefully...

Today we had a rehearsal soley for cuts, so that I can start with blocking right away tomorrow! YAY! And the rehearsal today was extremely productive...except for the fact the Jessica Liftman can't follow along with cuts to save her life. But it got done. Tomorrow I start actually rehearsing...and I have all of these ideas about warm ups that I want to do and games I want to play, and they all sound fantastic! In my mind... I feel like I will go to do them, and no one will fully understand why we are doing any of it. Which, really doesn't matter, as long as I'm having fun...

Also, I actually applied to college today. Do you have any idea who liberating it is to press that submit button? Liberating, but terrifying all at the same time. Because you aren't just submitting your name and extra curriculars and an essay, you are submitting your path for the rest of your life...think about that...I know I am.

Well, I think for a first blog post, this wasn't too bad. Things to look forward to in the next blog post: My opinions of the make-out hallway of Clements High School. Stay Tuned!
