hooray!

Well, I've gotten the first set of annoying bits for my Gold Award out of the way. The first set of annoying bits for my Gold Award includes figuring out whether the Girl Scout insurance covers martial arts (which it does) and getting a sponsor (which has happened). Now comes the next set of annoying bits: getting together with the sponsor to work out a plan and getting her to write the letter of reccomendation that I have to send in with my project application. That should be easy. The hard part is figuring out a time and place for us to meet so we can discuss it. I'm SUPER psyched that I actually have a sponsor. I wasn't sure whether I was going to be able to get one, honestly. Well, actually, I wasn't sure whether I would be able to do this particular project, because I wasn't sure whether the girl scout insurance would cover martial arts, because there was nothing in the Official Girl Scout Safety Book (no, that's not its actual title) about martial arts. So that's all well and good. Hooray!

So anyway, closing night for the musical is tonight. I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad because of this. I'll be happy because I'll finally be liberated from having two-to-five hour rehearsals five to six days a week. On the other hand, it's been quite fun. Okay, learning the tap dancing was hard and kind of miserable. But once I actually LEARNED the stuff, it was quite fun. Even though my feet hurt a lot. But still, it was worth it.

Recap 2

So last night's show went quite well. I FINALLY got all the dance steps right, and I didn't sing too early, and I think I was acutally able to be heard on the harmony in one of the songs. Hooray! Anyway, my mom got a straightener and a curler for me yesterday. I asked her to get the straightener, but not the curler. It was to be used for shows and nothing else. I'm not the makeup and hair straightening every day type of person outside of shows, when I have to. The thing is, I appreciate the help she gave me and everything, but it was kind of annoying when she was just like, "here, I can do it." I wasn't sure whether it was the fact that it was my mom or the fact that I was just used to having my friends or my cousins helping me with curling and straightening my hair, but I didn't really like it when my mom helped. I am not really sure of the reason. I just like doing stuff myself or with friends or people my own age. I have no idea why I have kind of an aversion to my mother, but it probably has something to do with the fact that she's my mother, and I am a teenager, so the two things don't really go together in my mind. However, aside from the annoyingness of my hair, the show, prep, and other things like that went fairly well. Apparently my brother and his girlfriend are coming tonight. I'm not sure what to think about it.
