The World According To Madeleine

Gosh, it’s been a while hasn’t it? I just never got around to blogging…. and I bet no one really reads this anymore, and honestly, I don’t blame them.

I guess school has been fine, one of my teachers went crazy and drama has been fabulous, but sadly, the semester is over so I don’t have it anymore. Now I have freshmen connection (?) with my drama teacher, and it’s a great way to begin the day, but the rest drags out. I have Algebra, Computing I, I still have band, and social studies. I generally like math, so that’s okay, and I don’t hate my teacher yet. In computing one my teacher goes way too slow, even for simple things. “Go to the start button…. put your mouse over the start button… don’t go ahead or I’ll get mad… start button…”. I’m not joking. Social studies is okay I guess, but I don’t like social studies to begin with, so I’m not sure about that, but it should be fine.

One thing that is fun is that I joined PAC, or performing arts company. At first it was just once a week learning basic lighting theory or looking at possible plays for state tour. I’m on A-team and running crew which basically means I help build sets and take sets on and off stage in between scenes. The sets look great and we’re getting really good at fast scene changes, which is really important so we don’t go over the allowed time. Our first competition is on Saturday, I’m really excited and I hope we do really well.

We had a great tech instructor who is really good at what he does and was good at teaching us how to build different things and being patient while we figured stuff out. He helped a lot and did a really good job, and he donated a lot of needed props. He was really nice and fun to be around too, but sadly he had to quit. I’m really sad, but we’ll have to on I guess.

Cross your fingers for no snow day tommarow! We can’t afford losing a day of rehearsal!
