raise your glass

Hi everyone! :D

I came back from my school exchange a couple of weeks ago and then came the Easter holiday, during which I had planned to write a long entry about New York and Texas, but, needless to say, I've been busy catching up with school and stuff, so I couldn't do that.

I will tell you everything about my school exchange, though. There are so many things I want to talk about right now, but I don't have the time to do that. There's one thing you should know about my school trip - they were the best 2 weeks ever. Best 2 weeks of my whole life, actually. :D I have done so many things I had never done before and I'm so happy that I decided to go to Texas in the end. It's something that I will never regret doing for the rest of my life.

Also, there are other things I want to talk about! Like, Gossip Girl. What exactly is going on? And why do I suddenly love Nate/Blair in season 2, but still loathe them in season 1? There must be something seriously wrong with me. D:
Also, Bleighton is so canon! I mean, come on, Blake and Leighton's pictures on Rolling Stones couldn't be more obvious. :D

And, wth, Beyblade is back? With new characters? This is going to be interesting.

Last night the theatre group of our school (me included) performed in a real theatre! We were all so nervous and I was wearing this 'modern woman' costume (because I was the Stage Manager, the one who told the story) and I looked just like a lawyer! It was kind of cool, actually. :D Everyone kept telling me, "OMG, you look so good like that!", "Yeah, you should wear a skirt more often!", "You have nice legs!" (yes, they even told me that, can you believe it?) and such. Obviously, I was blushing like mad! XD;

Everything went okay, though. We made some mistakes here and there, but they were funny mistakes! XD Like, one girl couldn't say a word right and she just went 'blah!', but strangely enough, nobody laughed!
But the best part was when a girl had to scold another girl because she was saying bad things about a person in the play, but, instead of doing it seriously, she started laughing while saying her line because the girl on front of her was doing funny things with her hair, so it didn't look like she was scolding her at all! XD All the actors on the stage (which included me, too) were trying so hard not to laugh at that scene! XD
As for me, I messed up a couple of lines, but I didn't make any major mistake, luckily. :D The nervousness disappeared completely when I was on stage!
Also, there was one girl in the very front row who was just... sleeping. XD; Haha, I mean, at least try to stay awake? Or go sit somewhere in the last row if you want to sleep, just, don't do it in front of us actors, you know? XD
I was really surprised to know that we had moved people with our play. Like, our theatre teacher was crying, and also one of our classmates that came to see us. My mother, too - a few tears had rolled down her face, which is really incredible, seeing as she can't understand English very much, but she knew what was going on and was even moved by it. I feel so proud, you know?

Anyway, now I'm going to sleep. I hope to hear from you guys soon. :D
