Miss Allanius

In third grade I remember reading a book called Miss Allanius. Get it? Miscellaneous? It's intent was to make learning the difficult word miscellaneous easy and fun for small children. It didn't work, but I still remember it all these years later! So that's what this post is going to be. Miss Allanius.

~First. An update on the auditions you've already heard so much about!

• Ms. Conrad promised she'd post the Honors Concert Choir audition results on Genesis (rather than an actual list that everyone can see) by Wednesday at the earliest and Friday at the latest. As today is Wednesday and she has not posted it,  I will officially be freaking out for two more days, at the earliest.
• Hairspray! Callbacks are this week, but since I only tried out for an ensemble part, I don't get a callback. Instead, I have to wait AN ENTIRE WEEK after callbacks are finished to find out whether or not luck is on my side. They told me not to panic. I'm panicking. When I told my friend from costumes (she's doing costumes for Hairspray, too) she described exactly how I feel. She said this waiting period must be torture and I must be sitting around crying and eating ice cream. I don't know how she knew, but that's EXACTLY what I've been doing! Really. Yesterday I found a brand new carton of ice cream in the freezer and grabbed a spoon (a tablespoon, actually) and proceeded to eat it directly from the carton. It was french vanilla. I think my mom's a little worried about me.

~Second. I gave a presentation in English today and it lasted the entire class period! That's maybe 35 minutes by the time I logged in to my powerpoint. We were supposed to study an archetype in four different mythology systems. I studied the sun in Celtic, Japanese, Inuit, and Norse mythology. My powerpoint described a myth from each of these cultures that included the sun or a sun goddess/god.

Then Mr. Lloyd randomly decided he wanted the presenter to lead a class discussion following the presentation. Two of these myths had a struggle/fight between a brother and a sister. My English class is all girls, so first I asked who had  a brother and whether or not they fight. Then I kind of turned into a discussion about sibling rivalries in general. Everyone REEEALLY wanted to share their stories so half the class was wasted on this! It was great! The stories were so funny and ranged from fighting over who gets to press the buttons on an elevator to someone breaking her little brother's collarbone. One girl talked about her 12 years older brother and I just HAD to share a story my dad just told me about his 12 years older brother. My uncle used to sit on my dad's head. This girl said her brother does the same thing. I'm an only child. I always got to press the buttons on the elevator (which is way more fun than it sounds, by the way...)

Mr. Lloyd seemed to enjoy it though and apparently he thought it was a great discussion. There's no way he can't give me an A+. I hope.

~Third. Spring break is this week!!! I keep forgetting! Only two more days of school then ten whole days off! I'm really going to miss school. :'(
I don't know what we're doing for Easter yet. Since our Easter falls on the same day as Orthodox Easter for once (Yes there are 2 different Easters for me. Same with Christmases.), we might all be going to my grandpop's new retirement home in Pennsylvania. All of us means me, my mom, dad, grandmom, and aunt. And of course my grandpop who lives in said retirement home. He's the one who celebrates the funky different Easter.
I don't have any other plans for spring break. That's how boring my life is.

That's all for now! More later.
