Cell Model Project and Drama Starting

Hey y'all!

Yesterday I had my Cell Model Project due in my Biology lab.  We've had since the third week in November to start it, and we could make it with whatever we wanted.  A lot of people did Styrofoam, boxes, modeling clay, the usual.  There were also several people who made cakes.  I decided to do the impossible-- Jell-O!  :]]  The reason why this is NEARLY impossible is because Jell-O doesn't last very long, and it's not very forgiving.  You make a wrong cut, and there's no way to fix it.  So the day before SHEEP (Wednesday) I had to spend about two hours making my project.  I was really hoping and praying that it would turn out right, because if it didn't then there was no "Plan B."  Luckily, it worked out perfectly!  Check out the picture:


Ain't she a beauty?  The problem is, by the time I got to SHEEP, the green around the edges had soaked into the Jell-O.  It looked pretty messy, but it was still pretty.  The teacher really loved it, but somehow I managed to overlook on the grading sheet the part that said "Cell Parts Description- 20 points."  Are you serious?  So when I got home I immediately wrote one out and emailed it to her.  She said she was adding on to my grade for it, praise the Lord!  I almost died of a heart attack.  :[[

Drama is starting TONIGHT!  Yes, I said TONIGHT!  I am so so so so so so SO happy!  I'm excited and nervous and fluttery and eager!  Why can't I stop using exclamation marks!!!  Now you can see how much I love drama!  I love acting, I love rehearsing, and I love costumes.  But there's one thing I don't love-- performing.  I have awful stage fright that I'm trying to work with.  You know, I don't think it's even stage fright.  I have this obsession with being perfect, and I'm always afraid that I'm not.  Therefore, making me worried on stage (or even just rehearsing).  I'm so vain, I can't help but think that all the people are looking at me and expecting me to be perfect.  *sigh*
