Sudden Fatigue

Hello. Okay i know im a horrible procrastinator and i should be writing but honesdtly lately i've just been so tired i havent gotten the chance. I guess i should explain the reason for my sudden fatigue. If it wasn't obcious to those who know me it's because of the crunch time in the approachement of the musical. ontop of homework, job, and book. I'm a good multi tasker, but not that good.
So instead of complaining I'm going to follow a more positive approach to the situation and though tiring, explain what exactly it is we do at practices.
Monday's I work on props, and puppets with Mme Cheung (Irene), Tuesday's Cast rehearsals, Wednesday props, thursday cast, friday props AND ALL DAY SATURDAY cast.
I'm going to have to cut this into two parts, because as you can tell im working on both props, and acting.....

CAST REHEARSAL
So i participate in 3 numbers. The opening ( downtown), suddenly seimour, and the finale.
Now that we're mostly done with coreagraphing and vocals, we're runningthrough,, working on transitions, costumes, and facial expressions. (which is hard to do while you're singing by the way)
Though a lot of work, practices are pretty fun. Especially with Jordan there. Now I just watch him during scenes im not part of (which is most) [ and not in a creepy stalker way! like in an im in the audience kind of way.....] and in the scenes where he's dead (he plays Mr Mushnik.) i lean on him. perfect balance... oh and then during my lunch break i usually go work on the plant.... which brings us to

PROPS!
Originally our plan had been to rent the Audrey II's from another school.... only problem was that when we recieved them they were crap... and when i say crap i mean shit.... so Irene, and Mrs Jensen (Andrea) decided to redo them. By scratch
We are so far finished Audrey II v. 1 and 2. and are spray painting Audrey II v. 3 now. This past week I've mostly been working on V. 4. Which in insidentally the huge pplant that eats everyone.
The thing about this plant. is that it's so big it takes 3 people jsut to move. And its covered in chiken wire... which cuts everyone up everytime they touch it. So in the past two meetings I've managed to cover the exo skeleton with foam, and stretch nylon. And the borders with duct tape.
Though in the proccess i cut myself several times and burnt the side of my hand until the skin peeled off.... stupid hot glue.
But now it's terrifyingly aweosme. I imagine that in the next few meeting I will be inserting the tongue.... and then possibly painting... though painting and warts has never been my forte..... OR actually you know I'm even more likely to get caught with leaf duty.
See the thing about sewing leaves is that it takes a long time, is extremly difficult and usually ends with you bleeding in some form. However I've apparently been voted by the group best at sewing (thanks irene) and will now probably be stuck with leaves. Blah....
Anyways these practices usually involve us watching bad movies while laughing our heads off about the various stories and misdemeaners of Aavan Ryan and Pickles.

OH! i forgot to mention... you know my weird fascination with writing letters!? well apparently its going to come in handy because we're writing letters to each other (we = musical cast ) for opening night. I'm of course doing mine in caligraphy... :P
Until later,
Jen.

PS I PROMISE Ill tell you more about Jordan after... as soon as i get a chance... which will probably be tomorrow because I have to stay home and babysit andrea again.
