Sick Days

    So I have been sick since Friday, hence why I have not been posting. I have just come to the realization that I usually start my paragraphs off with "So". I will try to improve on that. But back to me being sick it was terrible. I push through when I'm sick and at school but Friday could not take it. I think that I have been doing better and am 99.8% better.

     On Friday mainly it felt like the winds of the artic tundra in my nose even though I wasn't breathing through it. And it felt like I had a tickle in my throat that would never leave but coped. I feel so much better today, except for the occasional nose blowing. But yesterday was the most fun day of me being sick. I went to Sweet Lobby, a cupcake place, I love their food. Then Chipotle and the food was amazing. I'm just glad I did something for fun while I was sick.

     I have been working all day on my monologues but I have a problem. I can read with emotion but when I stand up, to practice like a real audition, I have no clue what to do with my hands. I'm receiving the help I need I just hope I can actually get the message through to me. It's a bit nerve racking knowing I'm going to be in a room full of people I don't know. I know my cold will be gone by then I just hope I have confidence to speak to others.

      The audition itself is not the worst part but being around others I don't know more so. When I auditioned for the Shakespeare Theater Young Company of course there were nerves a lot, but also knowing you are going to be around people you don't know. The only thought that helped me through being around others was my best friend. She was auditioning aswell so talking to her before completing my turn was a huge help. I hope I have my confidence that I usually have to talk to others.

      I know I will be able to because I'm the bubbly type in a way but still. I think I'm in the mood for my Popeyes chicken in the fridge.

Until next time,

Mattie
