Things came together so well in my life yesterday. It was like the end of a romantic comedy, when everything happens all at once, in beautiful timing, and builds up to a spectacular end, fade to credits.
The best part is, it's only just begun.
The cast list finally came out yesterday, and I got the lead!!! I am Nellie Forbush, Navy Ensign! Wooooo! Woot woot woot!
I didn't really celebrate yesterday, because some of my friends were really sad, and other events kind of eclipsed the casting, but I got it! Yesyesyesyesyes!!!
Then I got stuck in an elevator for forty minutes!
Chorale went to Guildcare yesterday, and after we sang, four people went in the car and the rest of us started to walk back to school. Seventeen people and an aide piled on to the elevator. We were squashed like sardines, and someone (i know who, but I'm not telling) said, "Hey, how funny would it be if we all jumped?"
The aide screamed, "NO!" but just to mess with her, someone else started counting.
"One... two..."
Somebody jumped and we all stumbled. The elevator stopped.
We began emergency procedures: calling the school, calling a mechanic, and so on. We all agreed that there was no point accusing people, but the aide was just furious. She kept threatening that this was the last work she was ever going to do, that she would write us all up, and on and on and on. She was pretty mad, but the rest of us were doubled over laughing for the whole time. With the exception of the bottom left-hand corner, everyone was still in high spirits, and we joked around and laughed for forty minutes. As the temperature rose and the levels of oxygen steadily went down, everything got much funnier, until even the aide started laughing.
I don't think any of us will get in trouble. It was pretty hilarious.
