I started this on 2 other forums and it got pretty good response. It's basically a way to vent about your difficult schedule and numerous extracurriculars.

[Beagle On Stage]

I'm playing the lead in a show right now. After our first block of performances, the person opposite me fell through, and the role had to be recast twice...so the actor I'll be opposite tomorrow has never gotten to have even a full dress rehearsal. Some of our special effects equipment spazzed out and won't be up and running by tomorrow, so my grand entrance will involve some substitutes we've never rehearsed with. The neighborhood the theatre is in had a power outage today, so as of this afternoon there was no electricity reaching half the lights (emergency hired electricians may still be there as we speak). And I hate the shoes I have to wear in it, they're not very comfortable.

I win.

[Mademoiselle Lanoire]

Two tests and attending a funeral out of town in the last couple days.

[Aimee]

I'd have posted here a couple of weeks ago but that's all over now. I have a fairly clear schedule which, for once, I'm actually enjoying.

[BroadwayBaby0202]

My cousin just passed away a week ago and on top of that, I'm in a show next week and I have practice everyday after school and on weekends from 9 am-9 pm. I have a huuuuge test on Tuesday and a few during the week. Also.....I have an audition tomorrow and I'm getting sick. Great.

[LesWickedPhantom]

My mom screamed at me for being "weird". She can't quite grasp why I'd rather go see a Broadway show than a rock concert, like a "normal teenager".
I'm failing my math class. Italian class just sucks. AP US History ain't looking too bright either. But I'm supposed to be the smart kid in the family, so this just won't do.

Teen angst sucks.

[MademoiselleMusicals]

I have Maths Coursework to be in by Wednesday, and BoxPlots I don't get.

I have an audition next Sunday and I'm so nervous but i want a role soooooo badly.

This guy who beat up my friend wanted to take me out on a date. I declined of course.

My chest infection doesn't seem to be going away.

And I have college tomorrow.

Great. I'm not stressed

[InaraSanguine]

I broke iTunes.
I broke my iPod.

This is the day...the music died.

[RyanJ]

I work 8 hours every day on the weekends at least, during the week I'm usually at school from about 7 AM to 7 PM if not later, too much drama going on right now (conflicts, not theatre). And I might be getting pulled out of a show I've been rehearsing for since September. (We're about a week away from opening night).



I think I might be up there with Beagle.

[Pounce]

[rock_musicals]

I hate boxplots!

[Pounce]

[rock_musicals]

well, I hate all math anyways!

[Pounce]

[NoOneMournsTheWicked]

I'm applying to college.

I easily have a third of you beat.

[rock_musicals]

I'm in college

[MademoiselleMusicals]

[Patch]

Let's see...

...I'm rehearsing for the revival of our original christmas show that open 11/17

I have a benefit concert for the theatre I've been rehearsing that is this wednesday

Rehearsing Godspell with my teenage students

Rehearsing a musical review with my younger students (both shows going up the second weekend of January)

Oh and being a full time husband and father on top of it all.

There about about seven other projects I know I'm leaving out...but you get the idea...stress a go-go!

[bwaybrunette21]

Hmm let's see.

Currently in a musical theater intensive high school class at my community theater that requires a memorized monologue, song, or dance each week.

Assistant directign High School Musical.

Choreographing Annie. Rehearsals are crazy.

Going crazy with details for my cousin's wedding in December.

I'm a junior, classes are crazy important..and I'm in all honors.

About to be in the midst of 42nd Street rehearsals.

I am President of our drama club, vice president of eleventh grade, school newspaper co-editor, choral soprano sectional leader, and in the research program.

Plus, I'm a cheerleader and on the soccer and tennis teams as well as voice lessons, piano lessons, and baby sitting.

Oh boy.

[Lazarus (Adam G)]

I'm really sick, and I have an important class at RISD tonight.

Whoopie.

[Impossible Dream]

At least three assignments for school

I'm supposed to be auditioning for the NYMT in less than two weeks' time and I am NOT prepared in any way

Tired as all arse

My mother is getting a THIRD divorce

I have nowhere to live between December 3rd and January 10th

[Ulla Dance Again!]

^ I coming down with a cold, so I sympathise.

This is making me stressed because I have to go to a show on Friday. I also have to buy flowers and get my hair cut.

And.... today is voting day. And I'm sick. So all I want to do is sit at home and take it easy.


But I think the rest of you have me beat.

[Luc]

Right now I'm going to school. I'm in a show there, which is okay because rehearsals are all during school. It is still a LOT of work, though.

I'm also in Narnia. Rehearsals seven days a week.
Weekdays = 4:30 - 10:30
Weekends = 10:30 - 10:30

F**K

[Cake_in_Song]

I'm trying desperately to enjoy rehersals for My Fair Lady, but social drama is sucking everything good out of acting. It's hard to focus on the show whilst knowing an ex-friend is badmouthing you, and whilst fighting with an emotionally immature EmoBoy who thinks having pain in his life gives him a free pass to be a dick (would you join the cast of a musical and then spend the whole rehersal avoiding work and flirting with random bimbos?).
I'm currently in grade twelve, which means three things:
-standardized tests (I've got three provinicials this term)
-school applications (I'm still deciding where to go)
-homework (got homework in all my classes, including 150 pages Thackeray to read in English, and a term paper on why the US f.cked around in Vietnam for so long)
Several of my friends are acting like idiots.
I've got singing, which, though I love, takes up significant portions of my time, and does cause some stress.
I'm trying to learn how to drive, which is both stressful AND dangerous.
I'm turning seventeen on Thursday, which would be great, if it didn't mean I have to admit that another year of life went by with the closest thing to a boyfriend being a computer-nerd in Luxembourg thinking I'm his match.
I'm having growing pains when it comes to my writing. Fed on TS Eliot, I really want to transition into more experimental prose and poetry, but nobody seems to appreciate my more unique work. I can't live with myself if I write in the ordinary, formulaic-as-heck way that every other writer does, but I can't handle people's negative reactions. I swear to god, if one more idiot says my phrasing is akward, or my metaphor is confusing...
I accidently swore quite loudly in front of my MD and his pre-school aged child, which probably means I'm no longer one of his favourite singers.

But I shouldn't complain. It could be much worse, couldn't it?

[phantomphan85]

I'm pretty stressed at the moment, I'm in a show next week and rehearsing like crazy for that, also I'm at college and have tons of assignments and I'm in another show the week after the first one.

AAARGH!!

[MademoiselleMusicals]

I thought I was stressed earlier on. Now since I posted my Grandad died, the funeral is on Tuesday, I'm dreading it, auditions for my panto are on Sunday and I've now been given loads of homework.

Me stressed? No way

[Robinflamingo]

My grad school program dropped me because I missed two semesters. I missed two semesters because I have cancer and just had major surgery. At least I get to go back to my classroom in two weeks! It's more stressful being home, for Pete's sake.

[broadway_baby416]

-My mom hates me for being prettier than she was at my age (but when she was my age, she had glasses, braces, orthopedic shoes, and a back brace--how can I NOT be prettier than her at my age??)
-My chorus teacher hates me for knowing the simple stuff he's teaching and therefore being bored to tears
-My flute teacher hates me because I can't afford to fix my flute, therefore have to quit
-My Italian teacher hates me for hating her stupid class--I homeschool, and my tutor's a moron. She teaches me everything all wrong so I get bad grades on my tests, causing further yells from my mother. Fabulous.
-My dad hates me for not being academically ambitious enough, and not being at all interested in any fields other than music and theater, and being a musical theater actress to him is equivalent to being a prostitute. He is a lawyer, in case you were wondering, and my mother is a teacher.

To which I can only say: Great. Just great.

[Gwen]

I have been robbed of $20.00 and all my school IDs. I'm getting sick, and my dad is giving me crap about how I'm "lazy and don't want to go to college." I get maybe 6 to 7 hours of sleep per night trying to get my homework done. My birthday was yesterday, and he forgot. We'll be lucky to get a tree this year for Christmas...
I missed the preparatory ACT/SAT tests for college...
I need a job...
I'm behind by 4 chapter outlines in my APUSH class...

[InaraSanguine]

The children gave me headlice.

Stupid children.

Stupid headlice.

I have 3 auditions next week. And I am ridiculously out of shape.
Thank God for procrastination.

[olly]

1. It's my final year at school and am taking my A2's in the summer and will be retaking modules in the summer - added stress and work.

2. I have just finished directing on my own a play with a cast of 30 rehearsing for 4 weeks solidly until 10pm.

3. Having 3-4 hours of work a night, I'm getting, on average, 4-5 hours of sleep a night.

4. During all this, I have had the added stress of the possibility of being diagnosed with cancer.

5. Having been cast in a new play, as Jack Worthing in The Importance of Being Earnest, the late nights are immediately back on.

6. With duties as a school prefect in a large school I have numerous duties to fulfil and am expected to attend various societies on top of my work and drama and music and sport.

7. Having just started rehearsals, I am only just at the beginning of the late nights.

8. Had an operation last week, and am still recovering causing me to miss four days of school last week which has put more work on top of me to catch up on, which means...

9. I have been getting crap from my teachers to do my work.

10. I have to organise a huge charity event to take place in London; it has to be organised by the end of this term (6th December).

11. I have my piano grade 6 at the end of the term, and I've yet to learn my third piece and even look at my scales!

12. I am in the midst of my UCAS application (University application) which is stressful in itself aside from the writing of the personal statement, various interviews etc.

13. I have many, many books to read before the end of the year (not for school, but for interest but mainly for University)

It just keeps going...

[Buff Daddy]

Buff Jnr is sick. He's on his 4th lot of antibiotics for a nagging cough. For a few nights he was coughing so badly it induced vomitting. He now has to go back to the doctors as he has lumps on his body - could be chicken pox/measles or even insect bites.

I NEED SLEEP!!!!

Buff

[broadway_baby416]

I have All State auditions on Friday and I am completely freaked out because I AM NOT READY!! Although I never had a good chance of getting in to start with, so I shouldn't be nervous, but I am! At my school, All State is a big deal and my chorus teacher--who hates me, by the way--will yell at me if I do badly or, as he puts it, "Less than I think you are capable of." I really should drop his stupid class. I love it, but I hate him as a person. Jackass.

[pro_magnum]

I have had bags under my eyes for, like, three years. I don't know why.

Maybe I need some slee.....*falls asleep on computer*

[Jordan]

[pro_magnum]

It's ok. It'll be kinda hard to fix my problems.




*points to his brain*

[olly]

[Jordan]

Can I just say, Olly makes me feel inspired for the youth of the UK. I normally deal with the dross but people like Olly make me feel that there is some hope.

[bernie_gabrielle]

I got back from Yale Model Congress yesterday and I have a Mock Trial practice tournament tomorrow.

[May bullen]

I'm Lucy in a production of Charlie Brown that we're literally putting together in two and a half weeks. We open on Saturday, and we got our scores two weeks ago, and started (and finished, incidentally) blocking on Saturday. And did I mention that until, lets see, last Tuesday, I was memorizing lines for Snoopy, before our lovely director (who I love, except during hell week) decided to change my part?
and to top it off, we are now stuck in the middle of a blizzard, and have no rehearsal today.
*sigh* "Don't tell me my life isn't a Shakespearean tragedy."

[Quique]

I just started work on Monday (finally!!) and I'm now on lunch break.

Omfg...STRESSED THIS DAY!!!

Preschool children = brats, lol!!!

Nah, I love them. They're wonderful. But damn, their screaming can make one lightheaded.

[itsaboutonemoment]

I'm stressed over this silly elimination game!!!!!!!!!! I keep trying to adjust, but like 3 of us are trying to post at the same time!!! And why do I freaking care?!?!?!?!?!?! Hahahahahahahaha......

No, but really, I'm very stressed about money. I'll tell more later.

[Quique]

The elimination game makes me want to throw things and clip heads off with a sharpened garden tool.

[jazzygirlsings]

Note to self...

Keep Quique away from garden tools!

*check!*

[Sushi]

I went to the ER Sunday morning and have missed school all week so far because of a nasty infection. My fever has been almost 102. I'm going to school tomorrow and then telling my teachers that I won't be there Friday because I am starting my auditions for schools on Friday.

[Eponine93]

Why am I stressed?

1. My grandmother is living with my mother, my sister,and I because my mom is recovering from an operation. My grandmother is a scary woman.

2. My mother is in so much agony from her operation she can barely walk. Its tearing my heart out.

3. My dad started chemo yesterday for cancer.

4. I'm in a barely blocked show for four year olds that opens next week.

5. I have to go to a 7 hour striking other show set/putting up our set/doing our tech rehearsal tomorrow.

6. My science lab group is driving me crazy and I've only been working with them for 4 days.

7. I have a quiz in science and went for extra help yesterday and had to listen to my teacher give extra help to a girl in another class who thought gravity pressed on you from above. May I remind you this girl is 14.

8. The guy I like chose to date this same said above girl over me. (fortunately he broke up with her, but not before she gave me a hard time because he and I were spending all our time together at rehearsals)

9. We have to read 20000 Leagues Under the Sea in lit class. That book SUCKS!

10. Another forum member and their constant corrections on grammer and facts, as well as their overall I'm smarter than you attitude is really bugging me.

11. My sister just threw a heavy binder at my head and smashed my skull into my computer desk cuz I wouldn't let her on. I think I have a concussion.

In other words: It sucks to be me.

[cammybroon]

i go to a theatre conservatory...

i think that pretty much says it...

[TR_Wolf]

I'm in a job I dont enjoy, and which I think badly about when at home, ie as soon as I come home, and Im off work for a weekend (every other weekend), I cant enjoy the weekend because I think "Im in work again on monday!". I start late but cant enjoy my day beforehand because I feel like its just a lead-up to work, so I cant do anything/go anywhere.

I also know that this is the only decent job I can get which meets my needs.
