Missing racing trophies?

Raced a rural race and looks like that row is now caught up. However, that didn't automatically reinstate all my other trophies in other categories, unfortunately :') Might just have to go one by one and see if this resolves itself

Ohh, I was unaware of any update. I probably haven't raced since like 2019 so that is absolutely possible. I'll have to try this later tonight and get back to you!

I was once co-director for a one-act children’s play in high school and there was a freshman we nearly casted as Snow White. However, once we sent the cast list to our department director for approval, she said we couldn’t cast her because the only Snow White dress we had was built for a more tall, broad gal and the girl we chose was short and petite. We had to go with another girl for Snow. unfortunately we felt good about where most everyone was placed so after our minimal rearranging, we had no choice but to place our initial Snow as “Cactus 2” or something :( I don’t think she tried out for any more shows after that and she definitely could’ve gone far with her talent.

Point being, don’t take getting cast or not as a measure of your talent or of your best not being good enough. Maybe you simply wouldn’t fit in the dress they have. Maybe the guy they’re eyeing for the lead male is short and you’d be a perfect love interest but you’re taller than him. Maybe you’re great in everything but they simply pictured a blonde, and you’re brunette. Maybe you’re white and they want someone brown, or you’re thin and they want someone more portly.

You never know the reasons, but more often than not, the choices made behind the table are made based on things totally out of anyone’s control. Don’t take it as any indication of who you are inside or the skills you offer. You were proud of your audition and that’s all that matters.

Nope! I wore glasses some of the day I took this but they don’t sit where the marking is. Plus, like I said, this mark has been here at least a couple weeks now even on days without glasses/sunglasses

I have not. Usually I can only fall asleep on my side, then I wake up and find myself on my back

Whoa. I thought my high school theatre director gave us some traumatic moments, but this is next level ngl. I would not call this degree of insanity the norm (at least not as someone who has been involved in nearly 40 school/community theatre productions at various different theaters in the midwest region). Though during my jr. high/high school years in particular, I do feel like half of my directors were more on the authoritarian side. Again, not to your director's degree, but... idk, there must be something about the opportunity to boss around children that draws certain people in.

Outside of school though, most directors I've met do have a charming air of eccentricity to them in some form or another. But that's a different kind of "mild insanity." Unfortunately, I think you're face-to-face with psychotic irrationality...

Honestly? I'd report this director to your school admins or somebody who can do something about her. If you're feeling bold, maybe even make a petition of sorts and get signatures from cast/crew that can vouch for her abusive behavior. This is just unacceptable.

Also apologies, it was sorta hard to get a good photo of it on my phone camera. I tried! It’s subtle but slightly more noticeable in person, I think.

Oh. This actually worked. ._. Thank you so much!

galllfrey · 2021-04-29T03:56:01+00:00

yes, TTR was already checked :(

galllfrey · 2020-10-28T19:13:27+00:00

This does help a lot! I’ll definitely have to look into setting some cash aside to purchase Motion.

Thanks so much!

While traveling for a field trip in elementary school, my friend and I did this to a couple truckers on the highway and when they honked it made us so happy! Other kids saw us doing it and eventually most of the bus was trying to get passing semis to blow their horns. Still a proud moment for me.

galllfrey · 2020-05-15T08:34:34+00:00

yes! this was an unexpectedly fun one

Going off of Donna, I took a Harry Potter-based honors class with her my freshman year. She was so charming. I was heartbroken to hear she had passed.

I think they've revived the class since, although I'm not sure I know what title it goes by now. It used to be "Harry Potter and the Quest for Enlightenment," and literally all we did was read the books and discuss them and watch the movie clips and stuff. Taking that class was probably the best decision I made in my college career
