So tonight was definetly one of the best days I've experienced here in Germany. It was amazing and get this it was even Friday the 13th. The sky was half blue and I went for an hour long walk in the nature outside of Rotenburg which was glorious. School was short and gym was bareable even though we are still playing handball.
Drama was FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! BAHHHHHHHH!!!!! You have no idea how nervous I was....like OH MY GOSH...it's nerve wracking enough performing a play for an audience when you are fully compitent in the language. You can always cover your mistakes and your language skills don't completely disentigrate when you are flustered. But you'll be glad to know that we absolutely ROCKED IT. The energy was great, the failures were small and insignificant, we only had 5 empty seats out of 50, I didn't mess up, and we had a very tight show. Katrin and Eberhard were there (Johannes is sick at the moment so he wasn't there) they loved it and it was great talking to them. I have had more hugs today than I have probably had since my birthday here in Germany and I am so proud of myself!! OH and get this...this is absolutely rich! One of the audience members thought that I was a German student keeping up an English accent the whole time. How hilarious and sweet is that! He said that he thought wow she can really keep up the accent. Hahahaha sooo funny.
Not to mention lots of pictures have been taken which I hope and WILL have access to. Many of them were taken by the local newspaper and my new host mother is a reporter there, so I have an in. Also Herr Meyer told us that next weekend we will tape it. WOOOHHOOO. You can tell that I am on cloud nine, but I promise any drugs.
So my day was AWESOME, I hope yours was too. Thank you reader and goodnight. (bows dramatically)
And PS thanks for the comments on the last few posts. They always make my day! =)

Great news! Of course, we had no doubt it would go well.
Sounds like you've found your niche, playing immigrant roles, but don't let them typecast you!
It would be fun for you to talk to Greg and Morgan about your experiences as well as Carol.
Looking forward to the pictures AND Video.
Wow! Congrats Marita. I'm so proud of you!! It's great to hear you so happy. YOU ROCK!

That is so so amazing, woot!! That's so great that they thought you were pretending to have an English accent, wow! It's hard to think of English having an accent...
