Annie - An experience I will never forget

There's too much to say so I'm just going to sum it all up here with some pictures :D. Annie was really one of the most amazing things I have ever got to be involved in. I just really want to thank everyone: the cast, the pit, the high schoolers helping, backstage crew and EVERYONE for this unforgettable musical. I have never seen anything like it since it was quite professional and so much fun. All the practice we put into it has paid off with great three shows that were successful and enjoyable both to the audience and the cast.
I don't really know how to put it to words how happy and grateful I am, but at the same time it is sad since it is all ending now and the 8th graders are going to high school. There is so much happening right now and to be honest today was very emotional for some of the cast and crew.
The cast was amazing; there were 79 super talented 6th, 7th and 8th performing and the big cast made us all a big family and the whole thing got more exciting.
Awesome t-shirt
We had many high school students helping out backstage and this musical would have been nothing without them! They were the ones that looked out for moving the props and the set around when needed while some of them took care of the choreography of the show. Also adding to this there was the HUGE amount of middle school students helping with microphones, the set and everything possible.
Also we had the pit band that did an
Ms. Greer
awesome job also having to just go
with the flow in some cases when
 unexpected things happened.
We're amazing
This is probably just going to be photos
now :3
But again this was just amazing and I hope
to do it next year again! :D
Thank you :)

Long time, No see :)

   I haven't been writing for a couple of... Months, but nothing significantly important has really happened. First of all we have the middle school musical Annie that I am taking part in. It is one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced. We have a cast of about 80 people, plus all the backstage crew AND a dog!! :D
The choreographer named
Rosie and I :)
It is so great to be a part of this; it really is an extraordinarily awesome production. For the first few weeks we had a professional choreographer come from London to help us and this truly was a once in a lifetime experience! All in all it is so cool to work with these really talented people and I never knew there would be so much talent in a middle school to be honest, but I was surprised on how many people are absolutely phenomenal actors/actresses of then can sing amazingly. I made so many new friends during the practices and on stage and it is literally one of the coolest things I have ever done! It was great and we had a huge amount of fun. Now after over a month of sweat and practice we have only three days until our first performance! It is exciting for all of us and most of us don't want it to end, since also the whole school year is coming to a close. It is kind of sad since seventh grade has been a blast even with all the huge projects and drama happening simultaneously. But what would life be without a little challenge? ;)
 
There is all kinds of art here that
is really cool :D
  I have also discovered many new things and places here in Taiwan and it is becoming more and more familiar to me(not the language though :3).
We were hiking and I just
thought why not add this
photo here :3
   So much has happened while I have been to lazy to write and I can't even remember everything since time really flies. So lets go from where I ended it: Christmas was fun we had some great food :D. New year was great we went to see the fireworks at Taipei 101 and it was spectacular! Nothing really happened after that... Only normal middle school life. :)
The fireworks were really
extraordinary!
   Of course there was one event that I had been waiting for for an exceptionally long time: IRON MAN 3 came out and it is basically the best movie ever! Maybe not.. I don't know but it is sensational and oh my goodness I am going to watch it on the plane to Finland as many times as possible when vacation comes!
    During summer we will visit back to Finland and pass by Korea just to go see some pretty cool stuff there so hopefully that will be fun. I also look forward to seeing my buddies back at home! I will be writing soon since a lot will happen during these three last weeks of school and after so....Byee :3
