Downdate

Okay, so my face doesn't look quite as bad as it did. My left eye ended swelling about 1/2 way shut on Friday morning, but other than that, nothing worse happened. I played Frisbee on Friday afternoon, and fell a couple times onto my wrist, which really hurt. But I managed to play okay, though definitely not with my full potential. I am trying to think of a joke I can throw in right here, something about my potential...I probably won't ever realize my full potential...or maybe I've already, climbed to, peaked, and am going down the other side of my potentiality hill.
This last Tuesday was the first practice for the Christmas play that our church is putting on. I am playing the part of Joseph, which shows how desperate my church is for good actors/dramatizers. Molly is playing Mary, which again shows my church's desperatism. Luckily, I only have like 5 or 6 speaking lines, and no singing or anything. I just have to sit in a barn/cave/whatever it was and look handsome, which I do fairly well anyway. :)
The play centers around a little girl named Maggie. The girl that plays the part is probably around 9 years old, but she plays the part sooooo well. Even at our first read through, she was anunciating and using voice inflection really well. She already had her lines for the first 6 (out of 11 total) scences memorized.
The ACT is coming up this next Saturday, the 15th. I am going to study this time, and try to get a high enough score so that I don't have to take it again. A 35 or 36 would be nice. :) This will be my 4th time to take it. Of course, the first time I took it, I'd had like almost no high school classes. And I was only 14. Each time I take it, I've usually added another year of high school to my knowledge and know-how.
Orchestra starts again this Friday. YEAH! There is a teacher's meeting today, so I'll find about who I am teaching, and what I am teaching. I know I'll teach theory, but how much, and to whom is the question.

Shouldn't it be pointed out that you're not taking the ACT again because you haven't passed it. No sir. You've already scored way over the state high school average!! You're just an over-achiever . . . and someone who wants to get such a high score that you can have a full ride through college. You're amazing!!! I hope you do really, really good!

Love you,
Jess
