My (temporary) fate as a backstage persona has been sealed!

So I got word today that I didn't get the part in the musical, which puts me onto the latter portion of the previously-discussed "win/win" situation. Now I get to take only FOUR in-school courses, and work behind the scenes for the other one. Obviously I'm a little disappointed, but really, I didn't expect to even get a call back. Also, word has it that it was down to just me and one other person, and I'm pretty sure she's significantly more experienced than I am. I'm happy with my efforts and I'm looking forward to spending the next year learning on my own time, as well as getting some different theater-related experiences under my belt. (And getting to know everybody in the theater company - always a bonus!)

Just got back from a yearly family gathering, at which my parents both got drunk and had a good time while I played designated driver. (Not that I didn't have a good time, obviously.) Now they're both snoozing away in front of the TV so I should probably go wake them up and shoo them off to bed. Aww, they're so CUTE!
