OK, so when I reply to you I tend to have to re-read through your writing because I too, have a lot to say. I can definitely relate to you with the subject of bullying as that has happened to me too; mostly when I was younger but probably didn't recognize it as such.
Some little things people do or say really get to me; even just the little stuff can mean a lot more in terms of wanting to affect the victim- sorry if my train of thought is a bit hard to follow.
I'm pretty much in the highest class for my year and do pretty well, i do get stressed out sometimes or totally mess up in french; which i get down about. I think learning another language is really difficult! haha! Hopefully I will get there eventually! possibly the fact that i want to do well and be one of the best doesn't help at times!
I too was in the major production- the wizard of oz, in chorus though. I got to be a munchkin and a beautician. we have a really big school- i go to Burnside high in Christchurch? may have heard of it, or maybe not. *shrug*
next year i will be old enough to audition for a main role *manic grin*
Sorry, what i said earlier may have come out all wrong. i don't find drama assessments particularly scary etc but it is better if the group you work with are cooperative! everything about the process envelopes me in! i love performing, rehearsing, all that jazz!
it is bad that the teachers discouraged you! although you are still taking some of the subjects you wanted i assume i know what you mean about portraits! gahhh! and the day we had the photos taken i was looking a mess! i wanted one with my hair out but NO! we couldn't have that!
haha! your mika portrait sounds wonderful, if only i had come up with a similar brilliant idea!
I have struggled to try and decide what i want to do when i leave school- although i really want to take classical studies and media studies in year 12. maybe something related to drama etc.
my parents dont really think acting is a good career....
what do you think>
what are some of the ideas you have about leaving school? what do you want to do hehe?
