Trumbauer

As I posted Friday, on Saturday I went to a competition for thespians called "Trumbauer". I woke up at 5:50 in the morning and got dressed nicely. It was dark and freezing when I left the house. I had stayed out til midnight the night before (my dumb fault) so on the bus I took a nap. We ended up getting lost, but we made it in time. My interview was early (9:35 AM). I was very disheartened by it. It seemed they hated my script, because I heard all the other interviews and they would tell them good things they did, and things they should have done. They only told me one or two things I did good, then spent about four to five minutes telling me all the sucky things I did. I was very disappointed in myself and I was sure I didn't make state, so I decided to go home and go to sleep.

Around 5:30 PM I was laying down on the couch, thinking about how the awards ceremony must be over by now and I heard my cellphone vibrate. I pulled up the text and it was from a number I didn't have saved, but it said:
"U made it to state".
I immediately knew it was my friend, Kayla.
"NO WAY"
I replied.
"Yeah. lol"
She thought someone else had already told me, but they hadn't, and I was so excited, I didn't know what to do with myself! It was an amazing feeling.

Later I got to look at the score sheets from the judges, and I had barely made it with a score of 40 and 41 (40 is the minimum to go to state). Now I just hope I can revise my script and sent it in and win at state!
