Why my ankles are about to explode.

Ok, I'm going to make this very very quick, because I'm really really tired because of what I'm just about to talk about! I'm so tired I'm not making sense. :D

I do dancing and I love it. At the moment in our school's dance troupe (which is pretty awesome because we're an all-boys school) and we do lots of modern-style dancing with a bit of tap and go in the local eisteddfods and stuff. It's really really really fun and we've just started rehearsals for it again now that school's back into the swing of things.
Now, I am also at the moment involved in a musical production of Oklahoma! which heaps of fun. I'm in the ensemble doing all of the dances and the group songs. There's also a couple of my friends in it as well, all from dance troupe. It's pretty intense because we only started rehearsing at the start of January, and opening night is on the 29th February. So we haven't been rehearsing for that long and the rehearsals are getting very long and very serious.

NOW.
On to why my ankles are about to explode.

Yesterday (Sunday) we had a 7-hour rehearsal, just like we've been doing for the past couple of weeks. Except this time it was the first time with the band, and ALL of the songs are faster than how we had practised with just the piano. So after that we were buggered.
THEN today I had a full day of school including drama production which had me climbing up and down ladders changing globes, replacing gobos and repositioning lights. Straight after school we go to dance troupe rehearsal, which went from 3:34 - 5:00. I swear, Jackie, our dance teacher is trying to KILL US. The warm up she ran went for half an hour and it was the craziest warm up we've ever done.
THEN once that was done I had extra-curricular drama with some of my friends which went on for another hour with some fast-pace blocking for this high energy comedy we're doing.
Once that's done, Jackie comes and picks us up, we have half an hour for dinner, then we go straight to Oklahoma rehearsal and stay there until 10:30, which was our very first time at the theatre so everyone was stressed and making sure everything was going right.

SO I AM F***ING BUGGERED.

Sorry I rambled on so much, I'm tired and I should get some sleep.

Night everyone, I'll see if I can make posting to this a regular thing. It probably won't though, it'll probably fizzle out like all my other internet blogs. MySpace, Live Journal, BlogSpot, DeviantART, YouTube, Ning.....
