Dress Rehearsal

Today at school we had the dress rehearsal of our show, when we ran it end to end. It worked out fine. Tomorrow is the real show. We end school on thursday next week. We did it just like we will tomorrow. After lunch, we did math. Then, at one, we started to get ready. We were all a little scared. In the bathroom, where we changed, there was a mutual feeling of tension. I helped Allie put her hair into a bun. I'm second. The end of my act ends with me in a split. As soon as the curtain closes, Thump! that's me getting out of my split. I have to fold up my pad quick as a flash. I go back in the dressing room. I put my hair in a bun and slip on my tunic over my unitard. A bit later, Amy and I get ready for the Odyssey Rap. Even once that's done, I can't relax. I get out of my greek monkeysuit. In the end, the finale, we sing the stupid song. It goes somewhat like this:

We are the future of the world,
We will take care of the earth,
We will take care of our country,
We will give freedom a new birth.

Why am I telling you this today, not tomorrow? Tomorrow I'm going to tell what actually happened- not what it was supposed to be like.
