Was a little tired when I woke up this morning and had to quickly get up and prepare my bag with extra clothes for the play as an extra that I would be in this evening. So when everything was ready I noticed I was running a bit late so I had to grab a taxi to the station, as I wouldn't even make my usual train and would have to make the train afterwards which would make me a couple of minutes late. I even managed to catch up with Rocio on the train and she stayed back for me, even though she had an RDO and was going away for the weekend.
So when I caught the train I had my hands filled with a couple of bags and was finding it a little difficult to carry them, especially when the train started to get a bit full and I had to try and balance everything within my lap, while trying to make room for people to sit down next to me. Especially when arriving at Town Hall and trying to make my way out again. But it was Friday, so I was trying not to let things bring me down today.
Had bit of a busy day today, as it was the last day that I was helping out a different team and go back to my usual accounts and back to the work that I usually do. A lot of people were caught up this morning in going over last nights events or at least recovering from them, at it seemed as though some people had to nestle their coffee's because of their hangovers.
The rest of the day went by pretty quickly and I spent another lunch break of mine trying to find little bits and pieces of accessories. I managed to find gloves that I could add to the costume as well as some hair colour. But that wasn't really for the outfit as I've been thinking about buying them for myself a while now, and now Woolies were selling them for $7.00 each. I bought three of them and ended finding out while I was scanning them that there was a special on them. Which almost ended up being buy two and get one free.
When the work day finished I headed off to UTS where I met up with Christina and two other girls who were going to be performing in the play. What I found out that it was basically a small sketch night and that the play I would be in will go for about 10 minutes. And my roll would be just to sneak up behind someone then get shot, and I would fall down.
It was a little intense as there was no real change rooms and we had to sneak into the men's bathroom to get changed. But before we did that we had to make sure we did that before the show started as when you open the door it would squeak really loudly, and you could hear it from the stage. So not only did the bathroom smell really badly, the only other option would be to get changed within the hallway which everyone was there waiting for their turn. Even while people were rehearsing their lines, everyone would have to whisper as no one was allowed to speak really loudly. It made me wonder though with everyone being told that someone had brought in the candy 'Nerds' and started eating it from the box. For those who's never eaten Nerds while find it hard to understand, that it does make a lot of noise while trying to take the candy out from the box!
While the two girls were rehearsing I was providing them with my two cents as it seems as though one of them was having a little difficulty with her part in understanding the character. It was awesome to see them practising though. I think I would find it very hard to remember all those lines I think.
So when it was our turn to go on stage, even though I was waiting within the wings I felt really nervous. So I can only imagine how the girls who were on stage must've been feeling. So when I made my stage 'debut' and I fell down as I 'died' I heard a lot of gasps within the audience which made me kinda chuckle inwardly.
Since we were the second last act to go on stage, once the final act finished we all went back on stage and took our final bow before going off stage and saying our congrats to everyone. It was definitely experience to remember, and the fact that we were all going to be doing it again tomorrow was pretty exciting. By the time I took off and with all the train delays that were going on, I didn't end up getting home till about 12:30am and was pretty tired when I got home. Though I did manage to sneak in a couple of episodes of Arrow before I did get some sleep.
