Day 26: Better

Today was great in so many ways and awful in so many others. I was so happy to go back to school and so glad to be feeling so much better.

I recently was cast as Chava in Fiddler on the Roof! I am so excited! I get to work with my friend Tinia, who is amazing!!! I can't wait to dive into rehearsals!!!!

This afternoon, I got an email from the stage manager for Children of Eden saying that the call time for rehearsal today and tomorrow was earlier. I was devastated. I had planned to attend Fiddler rehearsal tomorrow for a half hour before going to my tech for COE. Now, I won't be able to go to Fiddler at all. I understand that during tech week certain sacrifices must be made, but I hate that it's making me look bad for my new directors in Fiddler. I felt terrible having to call Tinia and tell her that I can't make it at all tomorrow. She told me that a lot of people had told her about new conflicts today. I felt awful to cause her more work. I know it seems rather trivial, but to me, it is terrible. Tinia didn't make any indication that she was upset with me or disappointed, but I feel like I let her down. I just can't help it. The worst part is that tomorrow is Tinia's birthday and that I won't be able to see her.

Anyway, that just made me feel really badly. Then, I got to go to COE rehearsal which was just a joy. My friends Annie, Peggy, and Emily made us laugh so hard that my sides ached and Peggy was weeping. :) They made my day better. A lot better.

The whole cast is just great! This is a picture of my friends Maddey, Ella, and Angela.

And here's a picture of Emily with her great note from our choreographer that says she rocks!!! Go Em!!
