Ahhh, today in Theater was super fun!
The class presented their skits today (after much begging, I might add).
The first one was super funny. It went like this:

An old southern couple and their grandkid were driving along and come to a gas station.
The man in charge of filling up the gas comes up to the car

Gas Man: How can I help y'all?
Old Man: Fill 'er up
Wife: What'd he say?
Old Man: He asked how he could help us
Wife: Well tell him to fill 'er up!
Old Man: I told him to fill 'er up!
Gas Man: So where y'all from?
Old Man: (They named a place, but I didn't catch it. For the record I'm just going to say they're from Louisiana) Louisiana
Wife: What'd he say?
Old Man: He asked where we were from
Wife: Well tell him we're from Louisiana
Old Man: I told him we're from Louisiana!
Gas Man: Where y'all headed?
Old Man: We're headed to Hudsonville
Wife: What'd he say?
Old Man: He asked where we were headed.
Wife: Well tell him we're headed to Hudsonville!
Old Man: I told him we're headed to Hudsonville!
Gas Man: There sure is some ugly women up in Hudsonville.
Wife: What'd he say?
Old Man: He said he met you before.

And that was the end. It was fabulous

And the second one that I really liked went like this:

Mr. Perazzo is up on stage and is standing by what looks to be a counter. A man comes into his shop:

Man: I'd like to buy a haunted house.
Counter Person: What would you like to buy a haunted house for?
Man: To scare people
Counter Person: Oh, yes, yes. Of course. I believe we have one.
Man: Great! But make sure that it has green doorknobs, lots of dust, and an echo.
Counter Person: Green doorknobs, lots of dust, and an echo. Yes, I believe I can get one for you. Meet me back here in about 15 minutes.

Man exits stage

Random girl enters stage.
Counter Person: Hey girl. Would you like to make some money?
Girl: Sure!
Counter Person: How about a dollar?
Girl: Okay!
Counter Person: Great! Just run back there and hide. (He points to what is supposed to be the house)

A random guy enters the stage.

Counter Person: Hey man. Would you like to make some money?
Guy: Sure!
Counter Person: How about a dollar?
Guy: Alright!
Counter Person: Great! Just run back there and hide.

An obviously stupid guy enters the stage.

Counter Person: Hey man. Would you like to make some money?
Dumb Guy: Uh, yeah.
Counter Person: ...How about a quarter?
Dumb Guy: Uhh, a quarter of what?
Counter Person: Nevermind. How about a dime?
Dumb Guy: Yeah!
Counter Person: Great! Just run back there and hide.

The man from before enters the stage.

Counter Person: Great! Right on time! Right this way.

The man follows.

Counter Person: As you can see it has green doorknobs. And if you step inside, lots of dust. (They enter the house)
Man: Good. But what about the echo?
Counter Person: Check this out. Hello!
Hiding Girl: Hello!
Hiding Guy: Hello!
Dumb Guy: Uhh howdy!
Both the man and the counter person make a puzzled face.
Counter Person: What's your name!
Hiding Girl: What's your name!
Hiding Guy: What's your name!
Dumb Guy: (I couldn't hear him, but he probably said his name)
Again, the man and the counter person make puzzled faces.
Counter Person: What do you want?
Hiding Girl: What do you want?
Hiding Guy: What do you want?
Dumb Guy: I want my dime!

The man then proceeds to chase the counter person across the stage. This one was by far my favorite.

Then the third one that I liked went like this:

Two girls are on the stage standing in front of something on the ground.

Girl 1: Eww! What is that?!
Girl 2: I don't know but it's so gross!
Girl 1: Oh my gosh, it's just so nasty!
Girl 2: (bending down) Aww gross! It smells awful! You should smell it!
Girl 1: (bends down and smells whatever is on the ground)
Girl 1: Awww it smells horrible!
Girl 2: (takes her finger, swipes at whatever is on the ground) Oh, sick! It tastes so nasty! You should taste it!
Girl 1: (bends down and tastes it)
Girl 1: Ewwww! It's gross! It tastes like dog poop!
Girl 2: Yeah it tastes like dog poop! Good thing we didn't step in it!
Girl 1 and 2 simultaneously: So if it looks like dog poop, smells like dog poop, and tastes like dog poop, then it must be dog poop!

Girl 1 and 2 then link arms and, as they're walking over the pile say: Good thing we didn't step in it!

It was super hilarious.

And then we all got onstage and played the Mingle Game, and I got out after the third mingle. And then we just played Ninja until the bell rang. It was fun.

Then in Pro Cooking 2, we had to develop some ideas for our first restaurant menu.
Apparently we're going to be doing Chicken with roasted vegetables and white wine butter sauce with Foccacia bread, Salad with 3 types of dressings to choose from, and for dessert, Pumpkin Cheesecake and New York Style Cheesecake.
Guess what I get to work on?
That's right, nothing that I wanted to do, but not the thing that I didn't want to do at least, which is Garde Manager.
I have to work on either the chicken or the roasted vegetables.
Hopefully the roasted vegetables.
I have never been confident about working on the main dishes. Seriously. It was always taken care of by this one group last year and I never had to worry about it.
I wanted to do the bread.
Or the dessert.
But no. The group that developed the menu got to pick first to decide what they wanted to do and they wanted to do the cheesecake. Bitches.
And then the next group that got to pick (ONLY because they were the ones who gave her the idea of switching the dessert option for the Parmesan Chicken with the Chicken w/ roasted vegetables!! Hoes!)
Yeah well...as long as I don't have to do the salad or the dishes.

And then we went on to do a cheese tray.
Tayler (my group partner) and I got a really good rating on ours.
I was so happy about that.

Today really was a great day.
The only thing that made it a little scary at one point was when Dad told me that on Monday I was going to have to start applying for a job.
I mean, I was planning to do that anyway, but I guess Dad thought I was just going to blow it off all year.
He told me that he wouldn't come with me either...I just didn't want to go on my own, but he reminded me that my sisters did it when they found jobs, and he did it when he found a job. So, naturally, it shouldn't be any different with me.
I was scared at first, but now I've just come to terms with it.
It won't be so bad applying for jobs...just getting one.
Also, he was talking to me about college.
I wish he wouldn't worry so much.
It's like he thinks that because I don't have my whole entire future set in stone, I'm going nowhere in this world.
That because I haven't made up my mind about this one culinary school yet, I'm doomed to a life of trying to get by on minimum wage or something.
Not that he said that or anything, he just might as well have...
I MIGHT go to the culinary school that Tammy picked out for me.
WE'LL SEE! I mean, I'd like to try and explore my options!
On October 17th, a Johnson & Wales representative is going to give a presentation to our class! What if I wanted to go there?
He's just worrying so much!
And you know what it's about?
Not my well-being for the future, but rather that I'LL BE OUT OF HIS HOUSE AND HE CAN GO BUY EVERYTHING HE'S EVER WANTED THAT MY SISTERS AND I GOT IN THE WAY OF!!
He's been casually reminding me of this every single time he's talking with someone he knows and I'm ALWAYS around to hear it.
I bet he even does it at work!
All the time, he just say things like:

"Yeah, I can finally start saving up for that Harley Davidson I always wanted"
Or
"Yeah, as soon as Indy is out, I'm definitely going to be getting some more tattoos. I just can't afford them since I have her (pointing to me) to take care of, you know?"

I'm always slightly offended by it, but I would never say so...or maybe I will if it ever gets to that point.
Either way, I'm not going to STAY HERE FOREVER.
I just want him to be assured that I'll be fine.
