Gotta get back to Hogwarts!

Sorry all, I'm in quite a rush. I haven't even packed HALF of the things I need into my Hogwarts trunk. I mean, the train leaves at 11 and I have still yet to find my cauldron and potion supplies! Oh, here they are, under my robes....

Okay, okay, sorry for the daydream sequence...but if I was still 17 I would be starting at Hogwarts in the morning! Now, I'm 18 and have no chance.:[ Oh, childhood....

 

  Back to the unfortunate real world.

Today, in Costuming, I had a really great time. It's my only class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which I love. The assignment in class today was to work with a partner and we each had to come up with our own "design" out of only a large strip of fabric, resembling a giant sheet, and a crap load of safety pins. I partnered with Sami and she designed this cool like, mixed period piece crossed between a toga and a hint of an 18th century piece with the like puffy butt piece haha. It was cool.

I was really proud of mine, and I'm actually really surprised I managed to make it without cutting anything. That piece was chalk full of safety pins though. SO MANY. I made this kind of a-symmetrical party type dress, that kind of had a hint of Lady Gaga to it. I'm just going to post pictures because I can't really describe how it looks, but I'm super proud of it, given the amount of time and materials we had. PROUD JORDYN IS PROUD.

Can you believe I did that with just a huge piece of fabric with no cutting it and a ton of safety pins?! I still can't.

After class, I came home and took a nap because I was so incredibly tired. I decided to opt out on auditions for an upcoming play at school, because I just don't feel confident and ready yet. We're doing Romeo and Juliet in the Spring though, and I'm DEFINITELY auditioning for that. Romeo and Juliet is one of my least favourite Shakespeare's (Shakespeare nerd FTW), but I'll be in anything Shakespeare if I have the chance. I think I do well in Shakespeare plays. I also think I do better in serious plays than funny ones, because I don't think I'm incredibly funny, and the one that's having auditions right now is a comedy. I think I'll just do what I can to help backstage. I like working backstage.

   Pretty much the extent of my day. Nothing too exciting except my awesome outfit.:3 Just napped, watched some t.v., and finished reading my Philosophy assignment.

Catch you on the flip side.

(p.s. This would have actually been on time, like I had the post all written at 9 pm but I couldn't get the pictures to upload but they did not yaayyyy)
