It's been a while

I haven't posted here in a while... I've been preoccupied with the highest concentration of volunteer work in the history of me, MSND rehearsals, School, Essays... It's all very time-consuming. There have been many days in the past few weeks where my schedule has litterally been "School, rehearsal, homework, bed" punctuated by food and bathroom breaks. It's not so bad on a day-to-day basis, but I have rehearsal 5 days this week, and 6 days a week the next week, then 4 the next week + performances the other 3. Yesterday I had Trick Or Treat so Kids Can Eat food pickups (quite successful really... 2918 pounds had been collected when I left, and there was still more coming), then I had the Storybook Halloween at the Historical Society Breeding Farm from 1-5... I'm Peter Wheaton, 4th year Ravenclaw. I'm based in the Potions room. Did I mention we get to drink any potions we make? You can make some pretty disgusting things with Sprite (rare essense of amazonian trout scale), lemon juice (acid), baking soda (Powdered Unicorn Horn), colored sugar chunks (magic powder) and cough syrup flavoring (banshee blood). Those potions were not nice, apart from the one with Sprite, lemon juice and colored sugar chunks. That wasn't half bad, really. But that experience was vastly enjoyable, specifically because I knew everyone there and we had two Professor Trelawneys, who both performed spectacularly, I might add. I get to go again today. I'm actually excited this time.

Anyway, there's my life. Drama, volunteering through or for drama, and schoolwork. Next weekend, I'm going to Vincennes to see my cousin in Jeckyl and Hyde--more drama--right after my own 5-hour rehearsal for MSND.

I'm beginning to understand what Kaisha was talking about when she mentioned The Band Cult. I'm just unwittingly getting more and more sucked into Drama. But, I like it. And the Drama people aren't nearly so dodgy as the bandies (no offense intedned for anyone that like).

There's really nothing else going on. Just Drama. And my english paper that I haven't started yet. It's due tomorrow.
