Wicked!


Last night I went with Kate, Rosie, Julie, and Aunt Melody to enter in a drawing for $25 Wicked tickets. We had already desided if one of our names got picked Rosie and I would go because we wanted to the most. We each entered our names and waited for them to start picking out names. When they finally started calling out names I just thought there is no way one of us is going to get picked. They called like 4 names and then they call out Melody Liddle! I couldn't believe it. I was so ready for disappointment! Well we went to Gandolfos and got some food to eat. When our food was ready Kate, Julie and Aunt Melody left. So Rosie and I ate and then went outside. It was SUPER windy! We got pelted in the face by little pieces of rock or something. We went down the wrong street too! We went back and found Capitol Theater. We went inside and waited for the doors to open to get inside the actual theater. They opened the doors at 7. We were in row E! We were so close up! I couldn't believe I was actually there! We waited for the show to start. It started at about 7:30. It was so awesome! After act one was over, we just waited and talked and looked at the program. Then the music suddenly started really loud and scared everyone back to their seats. They finally started act 2. That act was amazing too! I loved Wicked!!!!!!!! After Wicked was over we went outside and called Aunt Melody. She wouldn't pick up so we went inside Capitol Theater again and waited where it was at least a little warmer than outside. We finally found Aunt Melody and started home. On our way home I fell asleep for like 8 minutes. (it ended at about 10:15) I got home around 11:15. I couldn't fall asleep! I ended up finally falling asleep at about midnight. I was so tired today!

Speaking of which today was career day! I had the best choices ever! We got to go to 4 different careers. They were all assigned but we got to pick 2 that we wanted that we might get. I had photography, woodworking, artist 1, and artist 2. When I got to artist one my teacher told me the artist speaker couldn't come so I had to go to either the auditorium (computer gamer) or the gym (cosmetology). I desided to go to cosmetology because no way am I going to anything computer related. Over all I had a pretty good time. When I got home I could smell a roast beef in the slow cooker. That smelled so good! When dinner was done we all ate a ton. My mom had made cheesecake (GROSS!) and sugary strawberries (YUM!). I loved it! Overall I had a very good night/day. I still have Young Womens to go to too! I am excited! It is a get to know you activity. It is combined young women. I don't really know much about it but it sounds really fun!
