Floods, scooters, and thailand!

Bibbity bobbity boo! Lately, during rehearsal for the musical Cinderella, I’ve been confronted with a bit of a problem. My directors, both dear to me, are trying to decide whether my character (fairy god mother) should be like the traditional, motherly, forgetful, idol that Disney created… or a complete dorky, cheese-sliding-off-the-cracker, fairy.  I’m Switzerland, I don’t care which character type they want me to act. They ARE the directors! It’s their choice. Although, if they do make me the “weird” version of the fairy godmother, they are going to make me enter the stage on a scooter! I’m not sure if I really like the idea, or if I think it’s really lame… what do you guys think?

When I got home from school today, I was welcomed by the panic screaming of my mother. Our basement had completely flooded due to our broken washing machine. On the bright side, the water was only one inch deep. However, after using every single towel in the house, we still had water everywhere. We couldn’t scoop the water off the floor with buckets, and our mop was currently missing, so I spent about an hour (I kid you not) using a dustpan to dish most of the water off the floor. And man, that floor REALLY needed to be cleaned.

On a happier note, I think I finally mastered the waltz. And during dancing rehearsal, I ran into Mrs. Jackson, my most favorite director of all times! She’s the one who made me the sugar plum plushy>>> See? The picture? Anyways, I can’t wait till summer so I can try out for another one of her musicals. Also, yesterday, as I was leaving my last class, my teacher informed me that I was chaperoning a guest student from Thailand. Talk about short notice? Anyways a bunch of kids flew all the way from Thailand just to see what “American school was like.” It was actually really fun! The girl I was pared with was named Great; she was very sweet, although she was bored in all of my classes.  She taught me a bunch of words in Tia, but they all came into one ear and flew out the next. Their language is so complicated! I wish I’d made a bigger effort to remember the words. Oh well, at least she Facebook requested me! Hahaha.

Oh! And by the way! Thank you Kaylee Richardson for informing me about the brown carrot... it will be yet another type of carrot going on my lengthy list.
