a month ago, i started my junior year of high school.
yeah i’d say it’s kind of awesome. i think the start of junior year has been the best one so far. except, i’m a generally optimistic person and i’ve also said that about freshman AND sophomore year. but whatever.
to start it off, this is my first year being an officer for a club. 2 clubs, actually. i am currently the DECA treasurer and the Drama Club’s social chair. i’d say that both are pretty big clubs, but so far, they haven’t been interrupting with my actual schoolwork too much.
this fall, the Drama Club is putting on Legally Blonde, The Musical, and i am stage managing it(cue standing ovation). if you don’t know what a stage manager is, here’s the definition that i just looked up; “the person responsible for the lighting and other technical arrangements for a stage play.” i have to be at EVERY rehearsal, which is every single day after school until 6. and i oversee everyone who shows up to rehearsals, i take notes of all the lighting cues and sound cues, and then i’ll be at every show night overseeing the entire production. it’s an insane job when you’re putting on a musical and i have definitely cried multiple times over this job but i did it to myself so whatever. anyways, i’m also a part of designing the set, costumes, lights, and sound elements of this musical during my production design class so that’s something i guess. it’s great. i’m also in charge of running the Drama Club meetings(social chair). basically, i spend the majority of my school days in the performing arts building.
currently, DECA has a lot going on. as treasurer, i keep track of all the deposits and receipts of our purchases from costco and stuff. it’s not that crazy of a job since we have a huge officer team and we’re kinda good at getting things done. we’re doing a lot of promotional stuff lately, so canva has been my favorite website the past month.
anyways, my classes are pretty chill this semester, which is why all my extracurricular stuff doesn’t get in the way too much. i’m taking earth space science, very easy, asl 2, also easy, and then i’m a TA for a college math class, so i just grade papers and nap, and then i have my production design class, where i do most of my drama club business. it’s all pretty balanced and not that demanding, so i think i’m good for the next few months.
overall, my junior year has become very very busy but i’m awesome and stuff so it’s no big deal. i’m gonna win a nobel peace prize for amazing or something.
