4 - ?

Yesterday we had rehearsal for The Diary of Anne Frank. But this rehearsal, unlike the usual rehearsals that last from 3:30 to 5, lasted from 4 until ?. We ended up staying at school until 9. We were all exhausted by the end of it. And the sad thing is we only ran through the play once. We cannot make it through a single rehearsal without breaking character or laughing or messing up lines on stage. I know I am guilty of this too, but we really need to start taking this play seriously. It is crunch time. We only have three rehearsals left. It doesn't seem real that the play is already here. But reality must hit soon and we need to buckle down and get things right. Rehearsal was forever long and I feel like in the end we got nothing accomplished. The play still needs work. I am hoping that it will all come together in the end. It may seem like we have only been working on this play for a short time, but I can tell we have rehearsed a lot by my random usage of lines in every day conversations. I came home from rehearsal and began to read my APUSH and found myself quoting lines while reading the section on D-Day. By the time I finally went to bed, I was saying my lines in my head as a fell asleep. This play has seemed to consume my life. It is a good thing that I love drama.
