third time's a charm

so yesterday we learned our third version of the choreography for gaston's number. seems the first two weren't exactly what dennis had in mind. much happier to be making the changes now instead of, say, the week before the show. muscles are a little sorer today than usual, possibly because of the kicks i have to do now. feeling much more comfortable with the dancing than at first - i'm pretty good with choreography, assuming i can see how it's done and don't have to try and translate fancy french words. and the more we work on it, the more confident i get, which can only help.

still don't know who i am beyond the baker - think i'm going to have to ask next rehearsal so i can figure out exactly when i am called. keep thinking i missed a communique somewhere along the line. time to put my trepidation aside and ask.

stayed after school today until 7 finishing up the exams. now i just have to finish up the senior research papers so i can post final grades by wednesday. throwing a wrench in the plans is voting and house church and rehearsal tomorrow. but if i can make it through tomorrow, i should finally have a little breathing space, what with OGT coming next week. hopefully i'll be able to catch up on some of the little things that have fallen between the cracks - like taking down my christmas tree, which still stands in my front window. sad, i know.

so i decided to take possession of a piano today. i had just been talking to rachel on friday about how i regretted not taking advantage of a free piano offered to me a year or so ago. so when this one came up on the district bulletin board, i jumped on it. did a little research and even at its most expensive, it should be less than $200 for the piano to be moved to my humble abode from mason. not a bad deal at all. will still have to get it tuned, but it seems a good way to spend some of my tax return. now if i could just learn to play it...

time to curl up and sleep.
