Ok, I'm not going to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving, because I'm not an american, and it's still one of the few american holidays that hasn't infiltrated australian society. I dread the day when australia starts celebrating Columbus Day...

Anyway, had my last exam today. I'm just about all finished, except for my audition for wayo.

The production is going ok. the first night was a bit of a shocker, with technical issues (mics not working) and acting issues (not stepping into the light, forgetting lines etc) going wrong. but the second night these things went a lot better. However, energy was still down, so we're hoping to get that up for tonight. I think we should be ok, especially after the improvement from the night before, I think that will really help lift the spirits.

Anyway, I haven't had lunch, my brake lights don't work, and i've got to drive tonight. Fun...

I'm glad you're through with exams. I hope you can enjoy life more now.
