Thanks for all the fish

I am home early on the eve of teachers' day, and thinking about things that have been happening the past few weeks. 2 BIG things i guess, LA night (cum performance for grading cum rehearsals) and Teachers' Day (or the silly name that TJ came up with "Staff Day" - we need to celebrate the other staff as well).

Firstly, i am very proud of the Production. It really has been pretty much blood sweat and tears for the entire thing. All the long sleepy afternoons, in the blistering heat of school, across school or at Bernice's House, it boiled down to this night. Yet as fondly as i speak of it, i cannot fathom the words to express my gratitude and satisfaction with our performance. 300 hungry pamphlets, not all given out, but all with sentimental value (Also because we folded it :)). I took apart our backdrop today, thinking about how many times we put it up and took it down, and because it got tangled in the process, we had to redo it for every performance. Behind the Audi has become my "hang out-place" for most of the past 3 weeks, and now to go there with no intention of doing the play, it feels different. But, Finally, the people. I don't know if using the word 'love' here is too frivolous, but that would best sum up what i feel for teh cast. Tiring rehearsals, heated debate and sometimes plain crankiness and frustration. but we pulled through together. never once did i feel that people were feeling left out, as everyone put in their all.

Dad was there to see me. Of the 4 major plays i have done in the past 4 years, i am very happy to know that he saw this one. this might have been the first play my dad has seen me perform in. Not only that, but this play was directed by us, the cast, me inclusive, and i am glad that he saw the fruits of all my labour. I am grateful for the Drama Club to have seen what we could do, as well as for all those that came down to support. It means to me greatly that you were able to see the virgin attempt of self directing and acting in our very own play.

I Actually invited Mrs Jay to the performance, but i think she may not have received my email. i wanted to invite her, as i think she really inspired me to drama and plays. in sec 1 and 2, we watched numerous plays, and i guess when you are required to do something you do not really see the relevance, nor do you enjoy it properly. but not looking back, it has been something to be remembered, everything from "atomic Jaya" to "the Scientist" i enjoyed it loads, so thanks Mrs Jay, and Happy Teachers' Day

Happy Teachers' Day to all celebrating teachers' day today and tomorrow. Before, my concept of teachers were these figures of oppression and strictness, but coming to TA i have grown to realise that they can be as funky and fun as any one of us students. maybe im sucking up too much, but i still think that my perceptionf of teachers have changed. I know i frustrate tutors immensely, and so, i apologise.

Thanks for Everything, everyone has done. it has been rewarding :)

I'm just waiting... :)
