Dear Diary, The Sweetheart's Dance was a success! At least, I felt it was. We did our day date on Friday, so it was less stressful. Actually, the date didn't turn out amazingly well... Our group was Devin H. and I, Erin and David J., Cassie and Reed H., and Chelsey. Chelsey didn't have a date, but she wanted to go anyway. But Reed and Chelsey couldn't make it for the date. Anyway. Erin and Cassie decided it'd be fun to make and decorate cookies. Which was fine. except that I can't cook at all. The dough looked great, but they turned out awful. We sorta decorated them, though, and had some fun. It was strange, though. We were all really, really tired. After we finished with the cookies, we were playing some games and sort of falling asleep... So we decided to call it quits at about 10:30. But it was good. I think we all were comfortable, even David. Saturday was crazy. We had rehearsals at eight. We all thought they got out at noon, but it turns out they extended it until two. Kadee had to go to work (she got a job at Pretzlemaker in the mall) at one, which I had to take her to. Luckily we got out about 1:30. I had a few moments to relax before I was out shopping before my hair appointment. I got my hair done the way I did for Homecoming junior year, because I loved that hairstyle. Then I went and bought shoes and makeup, picked up Kadee from work, and rushed home to get ready. We got home at 5:20, and my group had a 6:30 dinner reservation at Calloways. But at 5:50, I had to leave to pick up my mom's car, and so I wasn't ready to leave until 6:30. Chelsey, Erin, and David, went to Calloways and Cassie and I went to pick up Devin and Reed. We had yummy BBQ chicken pizza! I love it. I think we all had fun at dinner. I know I did. Devin and I get along well. And I love my dress! Tee hee. There was some confusion with the bill... But we finally left for the dance at about 8:30. The dance was held at the USU ballroom, which is unusual. I liked it. They had a "carriage ride" (a wagon pulled by horses) to get you to the dance. It basically just circled around campus and back to the ballroom. But it was so fun! Tons of people crammed in. Devin and I and Cassie and everyone were all cuddled in trying to keep warm. It was cute. The actually dance was really fun because Devin really did dance! I mean, not like ballroom or whatever, but he danced. I love to dance to music, so it's dumb when people just stand there. I saw lots of people and everyone looked so pretty. It was happy. We got pictures at the very very end of the dance (because we had forgotten), danced a few slow songs, and then it was over. Devin went home with Reed since they both live kinda far away. That was weird, but convienent. I gave Devin a hug goodbye. I hope he had fun. I know I did, especially at the dance. It was great. I really like Devin. He's nice, cute, fun... and just a friend. Unfortunately! lol jk Yup. That was the Sweetheart's Dance! So... today is Monday. And it was not good. I stayed up until two talking to Sarah and her boyfriend, and when my alarm went off this morning, I just fell asleep. So I woke up at seven and realized I had missed early mornings. It was bad, but then it got worse. I got to school, and Breeann told me that Wharton had noticed that I wasn't in early mornings. Wharton basically said (in front of everyone) that she was sick of me missing, and that if I didn't start coming to rehearsals she'd cut me out. I know I'm late a lot, and have missed more than I should have. But I DO come. And when I don't come... it's because there is no way I can do it emotionally. It's been so hard. I lasted about twenty minutes into first hour before I started crying. I couldn't even really stop when I had to go on stage. So I think Wharton noticed. After class was over I talked to her about it, and she was really nice. She said that it was okay that I had missed rehearsal, and that I just needed to keep coming so everything would work out. I'm still really scared, though. Sometime I need to sit down with her and REALLY talk. Maybe then she won't hate me. I sluffed second hour so I could put myself back together. I couldn't exactly go to second hour crying. Gah. Drama is so, so, so stressful. In a few minutes I'm going to Cassie's house to attempt to sew a bunch of stuff for drama so I can get tech hours so I don't fail the class... Too bad I don't really know how to sew... My other classes are going okay. I have a lot to do, but nothing too overwhelming at the moment. Anyway. I'm doing okay for the most part. Must leave. Love, Lisa Ann
