Normally I wouldn't give a rats ass about elections.... but by god, I really wish that the PC's had continued to whip the Libs ass. My dad is in the running for a job with the power something or other.... I can't remember what it's exactly called. But now, since two of the guys who were going to put in a good word for him didn't get elected, and because the gourvement could easily chance Lib in the next election, things don't look as concrete as they did before Monday.
Which means..... my parents will probably be moving back to Hartland sooner than later (sooner being before Christmas) so my father can start up his private practise again.
And then there's me. Sturggling away at getting my grade 12 and that fucking diplomia which you need before you can possibly accomplish anything else in the entire world.
The question staring me in the face, although I often like to look past it and convince myself it's not there, is do I complicate things and find some way to stay in Saint John to do second semester and graduate, or do I go back to Hartland for second semester and graduate from wonderful Hartland High School.
Honestly, at that point in time I will only have three credits left to get (assuming first semester goes according to plan). So meh, it shouldn't be that rigourous to get them.
I want to stay in Saint John because:
Primarly the Saint John Theatre Company. Not that I think there is a hope in hell of getting cast in either Proof or Streetcar, but I am eager to do some major backstage work this season.
Secondly, my job. This may sound silly- it's just a minimum wadge part time job, but still, I really like it at Java Moose and would feel bad leaving it.
And I have my courses already chosen at SJHS- 120Adv Math, 121 History and German.
Why I would leave Saint John for Hartland:
It depends how school goes first semester next year... I may hate SJHS so much that even HHS looks good.
Why I don't want to go back to Hartland:
Jebus. Do you realize what that place is like??????
I think there might be all of one person who would still like me in that entire school.
I suppose I could go do their musical- but.... uuuuuuuuugh!!!!!!!! It would be sooooo miserable for me. Going from working at the Imperial, to the gym at HHS. Fuck. I suppose I could tell Betty-Lou (if she directs next year) I would like to Stage Manage for her- but that's not likely.
Only remotly good things about going back to Hartland:
It would make my parents lives a lot easier.
I could miss half my classes, do the work, and still pass without being hassled.
I could potentially do a DramaFest play... I don't know the Grade 9's or 10's, and there must be a couple people interested in acting that I could put together some silly little play and take it to dramafest. (I wouldn't cast anyone from my grade.... I just wouldn't. That would be a recipie for constant headachs and disastor.) I wouldn't do the play in the gym- no way. (Trying to arrange rehearsals around the sports teams would be hell.) I could possibly do it in the music room. And oddly enough I have a play that I think would be do-able for HHS and this space. I wouldn't be able to do anything the least bit difficult or intellectual. Unless.................. . . . . . . .. . . .... meh, no.
So there is the potential of a dramafest play.
The single good thing about going back top Hartland:
I could start taking voice lessons again from Jennifer Muir.
My only problem is, I don't know which is the lesser of two evils.
