Dear Diary,
I am so sorry that I didn't write in here yesterday. I was too anxious. During the audition, somehow, playing the character I was given felt natural. But I was still worried that I wouldn't get in. I know that almost nothing is guaranteed in theatre.
But they put out callbacks and they want to see me again after school today! I was so happy that I flapped my hands in public. It was the first time in a long time. I'd been long since discouraged from it; they made me stop in therapy. I don't know why. It's not hurting anyone unless my hands are close to their face.
They didn't say which part I was called back for, but I also met this nice junior girl at auditions. Her name is Zari, and she's excited for the spring musical; apparently we're doing 'Aida,' so I'm hoping I can audition for that.
It's sixth period, choir, and we have some free time. The list for the show is supposed to go out tomorrow.
Oh! I also remembered my last name; O'Brien! My mom says I'm some fraction Irish.
The bell just rang! I'll let you know how it goes.
With Love,
From Julia
