My blog!

I often find in the fall that I need more time. There are so many things from which to choose:  since I cannot decide which ones to do, I tend to do all of them.   This makes me very busy.  I also have to take homework into account.  When I know I only have a short window of time for homework , I focus on it more. That is one advantage.  Between cross-country running after school until 4:00 , my Beauty and the Beast rehearsal until 5:00, and rehearsing for another play that I am in, Once Upon a Mattress a version of the Princess and the Pea, from 7:00 to 9:00, I do not have much remaining time.  Somehow I always manage to finish my homework. I  will admit that I would like  a little extra time- for relaxing by reading a book or blogging (that would be why my posts have been infrequent lately)but I suppose I will just have to wait until my current schedule settles down. Wait- that would be when basketball starts and when I  am auditioning for another play. I will also have jazz band on Tuesday afternoons, and math team (if I decide to do it) on  Mondays after school. So I suppose I will never stop being busy. Good thing next weekend in the US the clocks are being set back- I’ll gain an extra hour (of sleep)!!!!

Are you busy?

Do you find yourself ever needing/wanting more time?

……………………………Lumiere. Je suis triste parce que je voulais Belle, mais j’irai essayer être bonne à Lumiere.

Life is about disappointments and rising above them. After all no one gets everything that they want. Sometimes you simply just have to make the most of what you are dealt, which I will try to do. My goal is to be the best Lumiere there ever was!

For those who are completely lost about this post, here is the explanation: my middle school is putting on the Disney musical Beauty and the Beast. Today the cast list was posted. I was cast as Lumière . For those who are not familiar with the story or Disney movie, Lumiere is the talking candlestick pictured in the photo below with the talking clock, Cogsworth. Yes, that’s me.

Have you ever participated in any school plays?

Have you ever had a disappointment from which you have recovered?

Have you ever been a candlestick?
