Hey guys!
These past few days have been really fun; it finally snowed here in Baku, (o! Mariel, I remember you asking what country I'm living in, it's Azerbaijan. It borders the Caspian sea, and countries that are close to it are Russia, Turkey, Iran...so on a so forth...hope that helps! Baku is the city.) and we got two snow days! The weird thing about it is, we got the first day off, the second day we went to school (even though it was frozen and my boyfriend's mother slipped on the ice and the roads were bad and half of the school didn't show up) then the third day we didn't have school. But it was really fun, my boyfriend came over and shoveled the driveway cause he wanted to (weirdo lol) and then we went to the back and we had a snowball fight and built an igloo. ^^ I've never played in the snow with anyone but my family, so it was a nice change. It was alot of fun, plus I got to watch "Edward Sciscor Hands" for the first time.
But another big thing that's been going on is our school is putting on what they call "Night of Nights" where they have plays/other things. They're also doing a musical version of the wonderful "Jungle Book". They already pegged my boyfriend to be the loveable "Baloo" and the rest of us had to audition. Well, I decided to try cause there wasn't alot of people signing up, and they needed help, plus my boyfriend wanted me to try cause he didn't want to have to be in it by himself. I was really nervous cause the last time I auditioned was in the sixth grade and I ran off the stage crying. lol Plus, I have really bad stage fright when it comes to singing. But, I got up there, and I suppose I did okay lol. I was even more scared cause I have a sore throat (of all the times!). I did a monologue and sang the second song from "Mulan" (it had to be short and I wanted to be funny and do a Disney song...which the other kids stole my idea and all did Disney songs...JERKS! lol jk). After I sang, the teachers then asked me if I had any problems with acting as a boy. I told them no, that it didn't bother me, and then followed up with saying they needed the main character role, Molgli, and asked if I would like to do it! lol THey then got me and my boyfriend to go up and sing "The Bare Neccesities" together and they liked it. So, so far, they're thinking about me as Molgli, it's not official, but they said it's likely. SOOO keep your fingers crossed! lol I've never been in a musical, so I'm sorta psyched for it! ^^
Hope everyone is doing well! Have a great day!
