Bad Day Rant

     Happy Wednesday! My Wednesday pretty much sucked. Have you ever had one of those days where it just seems that nothing goes right? Yeah, that pretty much sums up my entire day. So I woke up ridiculously tired not only because I got less sleep (thank you, rehearsal) but I also had this horrible dream that my dad died, and it just felt so real that when I woke up I actually had to think for a second about whether my dad was alive or not. Not a great way to start your day.
      Next, we were running late as it was, and then like five minutes into my 20-minute commute to school, I realized I left my phone at home and I absolutely have to have my phone, so we had to go back to my house to get it, then resume driving. Then in Latin I didn't know how to translate any of the passage on our quiz, which made me feel so awesome. Even worse, in math we got our quizzes back and I got a 58%. Solid. And I did really badly on our last quiz, which means I probably have like a D in the class. And the quarter ends next week, and I have no clue what we're learning about right now, so I'm probably going to do really badly on the quiz on Monday (so stressed about that right now).
      Later, before choir two of my friends (who are also in the musical with me) and I went to the bathroom and we started talking about another girl in the musical, and how perfect she was. Then we started to pick out some of her flaws, until (I'm ashamed to say) I was saying things about her that I would not have said to her face. In the middle of my sentence, our pianist for both choir and the musical comes out of the bathroom stall and I could see how disappointed she looked. She told us that if we didn't have anything nice to say, we shouldn't say anything at all, and we should think about what if it had been the girl we were discussing that was in the bathroom stall and we didn't know it. I actually almost cried. I consider myself to be a generally nice person, but there I was blatantly insulting a girl I barely knew. I hadn't felt so ashamed in a very long time. I definitely need to work on keeping my mouth shut.
    To top off my bad day, after rehearsal our director told us we told a terrible job and if we want to have a decent show by Friday night we have a lot of work to do. Um, sorry, but this is a high school musical, not Broadway. I'm pretty sure he's not allowed to tell us that we're "terrible," and it honestly wasn't even that bad, considering that we are high schoolers, we lost four rehearsals because of the snow days, and Into the Woods has some of the hardest music in a musical ever. Ugh.

Thanks for putting up with my rant!

Carpe Diem,
