In a Cape and an Ugly Dress

The day was a long day. It was one of those days that would never end and was in some desperate need for some comic relief and yet never stumbled upon any. Anyway, I found a means of letting loose my inner child (ha!). As I was rummaging around in the teacher's drama room I came across the world's best halloween costume. Since the campus was deserted (minus Mandy who was next door) I stripped down and jumped into this gaudy royal blue dress that had red and yellow checked pockets (one on the chest and one on mid-thigh). I danced around the empty classroom and felt incomplete. That is when my eyes discovered the missing link to the beautiful costume. I found a blood red cape lined in gold ribbon. I've always wanted a cape - and so I was stoked.

I ran around the campus wearing my dress and cape. I came across lots of swooping bats, some humor-impaired students, and even managed few laughs out of the remaining staff that was left on campus (mostly Mandy and the security guards).

Anyway - how did I get to this low point in my day (haha - it was actually a high point for me). My grade 3 kids have been slaving away at some dance that represents our island, East Nusa Tenggara. They can't tell their right from their left and transitional movements. Oh my - it was so horrible that Budi and I laughed out of frustration. We taped a practice round and we are giving up some of our lessons to work overtime with the kids. That basically was the big divet in the day.

After school I started working on the middle and high school production. Mandy and I were supposed to direct A Christmas Carol. We had our last day of try-outs and we realized that we couldn't do A Christmas Carol because we don't have enough boys. So on a whim we changed it to A Little Princess. Everyone is very excited about it. Life for the next few weeks will be chaoticly insane - and once it settles down, it will probably just be simply insane.

Mandy and I left for Bellanova at 7pm for dinner and read over the script. After dinner and grocery shopping, I finally made it home. Now I'm struggling to stay awake, and watching my favorite show: The Vampire Diaries. Kudos to Indo for getting VD early.

Love and miss you all!
