Macbeth is coming to ISK

Due to my workload the last week, I haven't been able to update my blog as much as I have wished. However, I want to inform you of what I've been doing. No trips to the Nest or Excellent school, no football and MUN and minimal homework has been the routine - just work, work, work for the Machbeth play, going up on the 17:th. I'm the assistant stage manager and these weeks has been filled with, painting, fixing wardrobe, props and various technical stuff. We had a few setbacks: Duncan was forced to drop out of the play, due to a very heavy IB schedule, and Macbeth himself, was ill during rehearsals. I just hope (and think) we will be ready for the 17:th. All of this week, we're working until 8 pm and all through the weekend. Drama is one of my favorite subjects, and I'm doing the higher level IB. It's very surprising though  I've never done any types of performances in my previous life. I discovered, during 10:th grade (when I had to do two credits of fine art), that I enjoy drama a lot, and are actually quite good at it. I just love working backstage and these days working on the set are so much fun and very educational. I also discovered that Drama helps me in other subjects. My oral presentations has become a lot better after taking drama and to read all the plays I've been reading makes me have an advantage in English.
