I've been having nightmares about this week ever since Dracula ended. This week's going to test everyone mentally and prove if you can handle the stress.
It's Tech Week and, oh Lord, am I dreading it! But not only is this Tech Week, this is also the week of a Government test that Mr. Stehr himself said was terribly hard. Freshman orientation is this week at EMCC, and the last week to get registered. So tomorrow at around 5 am, I'm waking up, going to EMCC to take two placement tests, get registered, come back here, go to school all day, then stay in the theater until 9 p.m.. Then on Friday, after the first show and strike, I have to go work a shift at the bar. Egads Batman! This is going to be exciting.
But, on the plus side, all my friends also help with the play, so I get a week with them. I'm writing this mainly to let all of you non-theater folks know that the people who are involved might be a bit testy. Oh, and if you have Modz, for the love of all things holy, be a good kid this week. You don't want him to unleash his theatrical anger upon you; let me tell you it's not pleasant. Well, best of luck. Cheers.

I clearly remember how Mr. Modz and Ms. Baker were last year during tech week. At least in Modz's class, we got to watch Indiana Jones all week and Baker was too stressed to do anything but let us work on our own. If you stay quiet and don't make any eye contact, the beasts will leave you alone.

Janaye, take a deep breath. You can't do the whole week in one day. Take it a moment at a time. You'll get through it. You will survive. And, no doubt, you'll be a better person for it.
