May 23 - So Close, Yet Still SOOOO Far Away

I have less than a week left, I found out that my audio was not mixed, it is Hell Week for My Fair Lady (which you should go see if you are around, dress rehearsal at 7 on Thursday, and Opening night at 7 on Friday, and Closing night at 7 on Saturday, admission is free, but donations are accepted), and I am 2 days behind where I should be.  My audio was not mixed, don't ask why, its a long story, so I kept the performances last to edit, when I could have just edited them all along.  So today I logged 7:30 hours to try and finish up all of the performances and the ENTIRE film so tomorrow I can legitimately work on narration like I wanted to Sunday and today.  Also, Sunday's rehearsal was very busy, I thought I would be able to edit, and I thought I would be able to edit other projects I have on my plate, but I had absolutely no time to do it.  So I lost a day there, and today.  I can't narrate the entire thing, I don't have the time, fortunately, a lot of it is self explanatory, I am just praying that it isn't only self explanatory to me and that everyone can understand it.  I finished all of my editing today, and even though I woke up 45 minutes late, and didn't get started until 8:30, I edited from 8:30 until 2:30 with a 15 minute break at 1:45pm.  Then, since night rehearsals now go until 9:30 or 10pm, in the afternoon, actors get work done, so I edited for another 1:30 until dinner, then had play rehearsal.  I received 75 DVDs today, with over 100 labels and covers to print on.  As long as I get my narration written out and partially recorded tomorrow, I think I can complete this thing on time.  Tomorrow afternoon during rehearsal time, I will edit my preview to show on Thursday or Friday in assembly.  I still don't know when or where I will be showing it for sure, but I will find out soon.  I am stressed beyond belief, but it will all be over in a few days.  I know that Senior Project ends this week, the play goes on this weekend, and I get to see my mom and sister closing night of the play.  That is what I am looking forward to and allowing me to get through this.  Again, the stress easily could have been avoided, but stuff happens.  It is all a learning experience which is what this is about.  Keep checking in to see where I am in the exciting/nerve-racking process.
