I'm not quite sure why it's been so long since I last updated this, I'll put it down to being busy with Holywood and Passion Play, it's the only excuse I can think of. Anyway, here it goes:
Wednesday 13th August 2011 DAY 61
Taught lessons all day again, it went ok, but can't really remeber as I wrote my diary entry about 5 days later :/ In the afternoon we rehearsed and I helped with Junior Choir.
Thursday 14th April 2011 DAY 62
Had Holywood rehearsal with audience which was good really good. I also bought a choir t-shirt so I now fit in :) Then we had Passion Play rehearsals in the evening.
Friday 15th April 2011 DAY 63
Put school reports in envelopes in morning and watched the choir being recorded for a TV show. I also started to transpose some of my music for Passion Play which was in the wrong key for my clarinet. We had rehearsals after lunch, we was a disaster, students so incredibly rude, some staff walked out. I personally can't see how that helps, but still. We also had a loads of food in the staff room at break time to say thank you to everyone for working so hard for Passion Play, it was great, we had chocolate, mini pizza, biltong, fudge, cooks sisters, and sausage rolls ect :)
Saturday 16th April 2011 DAY 64
Up at 7.30, then rehearsal in church at 08:00, lunch at 13:00 then rehearsal again. Not much to report really.
Sunday 17th April 2011 DAY 65
Lay in untill 11:00, then lunch at 13:00. In the afternoon I went shopping with Becca, got washing powder, food, ect. Did some hand washing in the bath and set up a line in my room. Then watched movies all afternoon and releaxed. The evening was flipping mad. The kids were ridiculous. I was watching a movie and heard screaming and banging doors, so I went out to see what was going on. The meber of staff on duty said that the boys had locked their corridor doors by putting a broom though the handles and were running riot on the other side. Once we sorted that out, I went back to my room and was up again 10 min later to deal with the girls who had done the same thing. Again, 10 min after getting into bed again, I was up, this time there was 4 of us staff. They'd broken the gate to get to the bottom floor, and were all still up with lights on and talking. Then when I went down with another member of staff to put another lock on the gate, we saw someone run off. I found them hiding in the toilets. This was a boy on the girls floor. Following this I was up again 20 min later to deal with the girls again. Fun times.....NOT, crazy night!
Monday 18th April 2011 DAY 66
Had a movie shoot for Holywood, being recorded for a DVD, it was quite long long but went well. Then we had the afternoon off. I did some exercise and sorted my room out, then watched movies :)
Tuesday 19th April 2011 DAY 67
Today we had a dress rehearsal for the Friday afternoon and evening scenes and Saturday morning scenes of Passion Play. It was really good, we saw the crucifixion scenes outside as well which was amazing, 3 people went up on a cross, (pic on FB) it was great.
Wednesday 20th April 2011 DAY 68
I wasn't needed in rehearsal untill 14:00 so slept untill 11:15, then luch at 13:00. Amazing pudding, chocolate moose and cream (like the one you make at christmas, mum and nana) and Merigne with pears :D Then went to church to watch, I also got a great new Nike top from Granny and Grandad (Thank You :)) After diner I spent ages talking to Becca, then we went and helped in the dining room with all the hostel kids and had coffee. We have two visiting schools now, one is Grey College from Bloem. They seem really nice, esspecially as they really like our British Accent :D
Thursday 21st April 2011 DAY 69
Had regearsal all morning then had afternoon free. I booked my bus to East London for the hol and then chilled and talked to Becca. Grey college sang for eveyone in the hostel in the eve which was good, kids got a bit excited but it was good fun.
I'm going to stop there for now, but I'll continue with the update tomorrow hopefully. The next bit will be all about the Passion Play and my holiday in East London.
Untill then,
Cya :D
