I had a dream last night that the play went on. I had thought we had two weeks yet, but no, people came and the auditorium was filled to capacity--always the same strange auditorium I see in my dreams, where the people are too close and the balcanies surround you. I sat on the side of the stage, constantly having to move out of the way and out of view as somehow I kept ending up in front of the curtain. The actors milled on and off staged, made-up lines and mudded through everything--it was nothing at all like my real play. There was no set--this I can reason, for it is a pressing worry right now. Mom, who tells me the truth about everything, found me backstage and suggested I leave before the show ended so I wouldn't have to talk to anyone. That's when I knew it was bad. So I began to leave, feeling awful for abandoning the actors--but then again, it was their fault. Right when I began to leave I finally heard some laughter and cheers from the audience. I went back to the stage to see what was happening, but of course, the alarm went off...end of REM sleep. Things are out of control right now--there is just SO much going on! The inspector came back to the house and left another list. My dad blew-up. Mom has steam blowing out her ears and a big crack stretching down her spine as the weight of everything begins to break her. I'm holding my breath until Thursday, Thursday when we officially move out of 91st Lane and hopefully things begin to plateau. I'm actually amazed that I'm still doing well in all my classes. If I do well on my French final, I'll actually pull of an A in that classes, which is absolutely thrilling considering the tough time I'm having with it. My grades won't be as good as last semester, but then again, last semester was cake compared to what I'm going through now. I got response from the RA people and am in the process of setting up an interview for next week. So I'm *this* close to becoming an RA--free room and board, baby. Oh, and since ASU is so generous to extend bus routes at the expense of doubling the cost for parking decals (it will now cost me $500 to park in my garage next semester), I'm not bringing my car to school so I'll REALLY be living cheap. Which is good--need to start saving up to get a place and keep paying for college. Rehearsal was ridiculous yesterday. We went through the fashion show with the music that Kris made and getting everything in sync is incredibly difficult. But kris and I went over it again last night and adjusted some things so hopefully the next time we run through it everything will work out a lot better. Having that many people at rehearsal is very hard to work with. We also did pictures of the girls and I made-up some pretty nasty posters for the Auditorium lobby the nights of the show. Stuff like "Show you care...about you" and "Looking fabulous has never been so important." Just little sarcastic phrases that will help express the message of the play. Anyway, the girls had fun and they all look beautiful. Today Bruce Biggs is coming to look at what we need painted. Tonight is also band practice--another free dinner for me! A big relief too since my cupboard is pret-ty bare. Amy called me yesterday; she's on her Spring Break right now. We're getting together Friday night...more on that to come. Right, well, I guess that's it then. Busy busy. And just think, this was like, the ultra readers-digest version! Carrie
