Spring show
I was last, so there weren't as many guard people watching. I improvised my whole dance part, but I caught all my umbrella tosses! Even though one was a really awkward catch. It was a four. It was very informal, nobody really cared, and it zoomed by - before I knew it, we were done!

Amnesty
application: I stayed up forever making it and I was very pleased with the outcome. If I thought I had a chance getting publicity, I would've made it a lot more creative, but the main role I was trying out for was secretary - so it had to be impeccably neat!
interview: I think I did great, I was articulate and he added some pretty flattering flattery, although I'm not sure whether it was just to make me feel better or because he really meant it.

Mock Trial
I didn't really understand the system and the rules of what to/not to do, so I obviously broke a lot of them. I'm not being overcritical, but after an unbiased analysis of all the actions and words they said combined with my new knowledge, I can conclude that I did - to put it bluntly - mortifyingly bad. On the bright side, now I know what exactly not to do, come September. It was definitely worth the experience.

I'm slowly but steadily driving along the final stretch before summer. Unfortunately, it's a bumpy road, some bumps being more painful than others. But the point is I'm getting through them.
