I'm a maid who would marry!

So we had our first Shrew dress rehearsal AND run-through last night. And I survived. YEAH!!!!!!! Actually, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it might be. As of now it's a 3 1/2 hour show. That's with notes, no assigned scene changes, people taking longer with costume changes, etc. I think we'll survive. According to Michelle, we're getting paid for this show. Not just paid, though. We're supposed to get paid by the minute we're onstage. Huh? It's not like we punch in and out or anything. I don't know who determines it, but oh well. They feed me. They're paying me. And I have the three greatest costumes I've ever had in any show EVER!!!!!!! I feel quite pretty in them (something that doesn't happen very often to be sure). My wedding dress is the greatest thing! I'm not a fan of any of my headpieces, but oh well.

I have an interview with Pioneer High School on Wednesday. I was feeling good about it, because the principal called me about it. But then again, look what happened last time. Plus, my mom works with a lady who also applied for CHS and did her student teaching there (but wasn't the one who got the job). She has called PHS about their English position. I would feel infinitely more confident if I didn't know of any other competion. Plus, she still has a job with FIS (where my mom teaches). I know it's a long drive, but at least she has a carpool. I don't have a job. I NEED a job. All the energy in my prayers lately seem devoted to this one specific topic. There's also the fact that I promised Stephanie D. I'd go with her to Utah to visit Merci in a couple of weeks if I get the job. I need to get OUTTA Nevada; at least for a short time!

I went to Tahoe with Kristen last Monday, and it looks like we're going again this Monday. Yeah! The only problem were my selected places of sunburnage. I forgot the back of my knees. My left shoulder had some issues--now it looks as though I was in a scratching fight. It's kind of funny the way they streak in a close area! I'll remember these spots NEXT time.

I might see Macbeth at Tahoe on Sunday as well. I think it'll be very different from Comedy of Errors (no dance break for Thriller, or farting, etc.), so I am interested in seeing it. Tonight I'm going to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I hope it's good.

The lyrics for this post come from the song Tom, Dick, or Harry from Kiss Me Kate. I selected it because it's what the Bianca character sings in the show, and I'm attempting to delve further into the role.

Lynette, I dreamed about you last night. I dreamed I was teaching my first English Comp class and you and other English majors/teachers were my students. I hadn't prepared, nor did I have a syllabus, so I had to make up a lesson on the spot. Oh, and Dr. Bennett was observing my teaching. Stressful dream.
