| Spoon River | |||||
| Today in Acting we had to do our monologues for Spoon River (sounds naughty don't it?) All it is, is a bunch of monologues about the lives of these people in this one town that seems really sweet but is actually really full of adultry and murder (hence spoon river) haha. Anyhoo, I was mrs Merrit, telling how I was 35 seeing some 19 year old who eventually kills my husband and I get blamed for it and never say that it was really not my fault. so I stay in prison for 30 years until I ultimately die. there were 2 english classes that came to watch our performance. One was the one class in which I didn't attend to today because I was busy helping out with stupid grade 8 for a day. for band we had to teach them (grade 8's) stomp routines and stuff like that. And then after it was over I stayed for block C and Dean and I were the only students helping our teacher and our student teacher. So we each got our own group of grade 8's. We went through about 8 groups of these newly teens today. ARGh the bunch of kids that I got at one point was so rowdy and hyper and then there was this one group, of 13 years old boys, who just wouldn't listen, and then we had to perform our little StoMp routine and then the teach was like Boys you gave natalie a very hard time, what'd you think that because your teacher isn't here you can get away with anything you want? and she really laid it down on them. And then she said Natalie how do you feel about all this (and of course there were about 40 other students listening) and I'm like "Well I'm kinda upset because I'm missing a curricular class to help teach you guys and when you show this disrespect it's making me want to go back to my boring english class" well actually that's not what I said but you get the jist right? then SO I was redeemed and glorified :P and it was all good. and for the plus side I got a free hot dog and donut and can of coke for helping out. And it was all good. After school Joe waited with me until about 5 ish to get a ride home. EEEE I helped him with his MaTh. i like math. like a loser. :P it was great fun. |
