The title of my blog is a little deceiving since this past week was no ordinary week for me or the school. Last week our drama department presented Oklahoma! The Great American Musical. I am a thespian and very involved in the theatre productions. For this show, I served as the costume mistress. I have had so much fun working with my friends and our fearless leader Ms. Judy DeFrehn, the high school drama teacher, to present a fantastic show!
Except for Wednesday, we had performances every night beginning at 7:00 p.m. This schedule meant that we arrived at the school at 5:00 p.m. and left at 10:00 p.m. every night. In addition, we presented a matinee performance on Friday morning and again on Saturday afternoon. The amount of time spent together allowed the entire cast and crew to become very close. We now think of each other as part of one big family. I am very thankful for a school that provides me with an opportunity to participate in extracurricular actives such as the theatre where I can get to know so many people that I otherwise probably would not have known well.
In addition to being involved with the drama department, I am also the secretary/treasurer of the student council. One of my job responsibilities is to sell snacks to the student body every morning between second and third periods. This is one of the highlights of my day since many random and interesting conversations can occur at the snack cart.
