You'll be an actress, and I assure you that's what finally came to pass.

Abby and I got a II, and the One Act got a II, and a whole lot of other people got II's... it's just not been our year. Ah well, we were all splendid, it was just that the subjectiveness of the judges didn't turn in our favour. I'm almost immune to subjectiveness. As long as I know that we did well, I don't care. Glawe keeps apologising... what for? It's not like we weren't prepared, it's not like we messed up. We did our best, but that just wasn't what the judges wanted to see. There's very little to be done about that.

I could've gone and watched the rest of the show choirs, but I'm very very tired. I feel sorry for the show choir people, I can't believe Johnston competition and IHSSA keep getting scheduled the same day. As for me, since my One Act costume is pajamas, I will be going straight up to bed as soon as I finish this.

There's Individual Events this year. I can do two of those, I think. Maybe a monolouge and Prose or Poetry. I'm not up to writing another speech. To be honest, I hate speech writing- and especially to have it judged. I don't see what Speech (Forensics) people get out of it. All the mock trial stuff, and debating- I can't see why anybody would have a desire to do that. Or Brett's spontaneous speaking- I'd do that if the topics weren't all to do with religion and politics. If they were about fun stuff- talk about your favourite band, or give opinions on popular culture or something, I could do that. But talking at length on your own about the regulations put on political office candidates? Please.

There's no point my going on, I'm making less and less sense. Maybe I'll be back later tonight.
