Still waiting... two snow days are getting in my way.  :-\

I'll tell you when I know.
Grant me the **Serenity**
to accept the things that I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the Wisdom to hide those people...

I think your post here (maybe inadvertently) puts this into perspective...

Enjoy the snow days, go build a snowman with your friends and relax a bit.  I don't at all intend to sound condescending, but you're in high school - enjoy it.  The stresses you're experiencing now will be long forgotten in a few months' time.

As Matthew said, there will be other productions and other shows.  There will be plenty to stress about in the future.

For now, maybe taking a step back and breathing is your best bet?   :)

Sorry it took so long to reply.

I am one of the ASM's.

As you guys mentioned that maybe I should take this show off. So I decided that I would take this final show off. Well, I went and told our TD that I was not going to be apart of this production.  I guess word travels quickly and before I could finish my business at the school, the other guy was there. He sorta apologize to me, looking down and mummbling something about ego's and maturity (it honestly didn't feel sincere but I accepted it).

After that, the director caught me right before I got to my car, and asked me if I currently had time to go get a coffee with him. I said yes and we drove (independntly) to our local coffee shop. We bought our coffee and sat down.  He asked me to be one of the ASM's, the TD was going to SM, and said how much he really wants me on this production. This is the guy who praised me so well on an interviewer's phone call that they eliminated rounds 2 and 3 of interviews and hired me on the spot.

I told him give me a week to figure out my plan of action.

And that night I had a dream... so real I woke up like I had already made the decision.

So I said yes.

And now tech week is here.
It was worth it.
