I was with the people from RP, Jonathan and Shrey actually, just them and we had to perform a weird script. Well we had to read it, and perform at the same time. In weird weird conditions. Like in a candlelit environment with people scrutinising us. Or more like some highly skilled actor watching us with his companions.

Start, stop, start stop. I think it went on for a few days..

I was the only one stumbling at my lines, my eyes never seeming to continue where they left off. And I could sense their disapproval. I fumbled some more and whence my co-actor had finished his lengthy monologue, I stood and spoke with conviction, determined to prove myself, but something was wrong.

A huge murmur arose from the audience and I nearly stopped right there. Even my drama teacher who was in the audience whispered a dammit to herself, despite being the only one untroubled by my earlier mistakes.

I awoke, sweating, and realized it was 6:50

My day had begun.
