this is it. / Friday, 21 October 2011 @ 22:30
This was it. I woke up this morning feeling butterflies in my tummy. I had recited my script over and over again the night before, first thing when I woke up, when I showered and brushed my teeth, during breakfast and on the way to college. I was sure that I had it all down to the last period. When I reached the Experimental Theater, I saw that I was the 4th person to go. Taking deep breaths, I decided to keep my mind off it by talking to Rueben and Chris. However, it wasn't a very good idea as Chris was so edgy and nervous that it made me feel even worse. I decided to just pace the room and talk to random people. Finally, we started. I think Chris and Weng You did very well. When it was my turn, I asked Ms Pat if I could wear my favourite high heels. I could see surprise on her face but she agreed and told me to make sure that I am comfortable in them. The reason why I wanted to wear heels is because I have always felt more confident in high heels. I figured that I would be more in character if I had the confidence. I think I did alright. I managed to stay very grounded and moved with ease even though I was in 4 inch stilettos. I messed up my lines at the end a little bit, but I managed to stay calm and continue till the end. I wished I was more convincing and had more practice time, but I only had myself to blame. The rest of the week, everyone delivered their monologue. I was awed by everyone, including the students who were previously quiet and not that outspoken. I think everyone deserves a great big round of applause and standing ovation! |
