Being Me: Day in the Life of March

5:30 a.m.

Your alarm goes off. You ignore it because, psh, who sets their alarm for 5:30? That's nuts.

6:15ish a.m.

Wake up. Go downstairs and sit at the piano bench to start practicing. Wake up again. Remember to close the blinds so the neighbors can't see your hair while you play the piano. Sit down for a breather. Wake up. Play the piano.

7:15 a.m.

Wake up. Get ready for school really, really, fast. Run out the door. Oh yeah, you should have had breakfast. Maybe. 

8:00 a.m.

Enter school carrying school bag, and/or (depending on day):

• A really expensive video camera (not the best choice).
• Your tripod for said camera.
• Stage make up.
• Uncomfortable shoes.
• A tree branch.
• Lots of old books. 
• Big banner for the school play.
• Seriously, a tree branch. 

When people ask, tell them not to touch your camera, you use the tripod for documentary interviews, the make-up and shoes are for the musical dress rehearsal after school, and that's a tree branch. 

2:50 p.m.

Run really fast in those uncomfortable shoes to the auditorium and grab your costumes and run to the bathroom and put on your make up while you're at it and give your camera to somebody to film the rehearsal and curl your hair and find the microphone tape. Rehearsal time!

6:30 p.m.

Go home and eat something and change out of those tights.

P.S. The tree branch is a prop. For the musical. I promise.
