Beauty and the Beast

OH MY GOSH!!!!! I can't believe it!!! Today is Friday, and I had theater.  We got out parts today and the whole way over I had butterflies in my stomach (for the first time).  Then we got there and after listening to the teacher's story about casting (he always gives a story.  Today it was about his wife's first production she ever did and how instead of getting Sleeping Beauty she got an ugly troll but everyone thought she was hilarious and it all worked out) he started announcing parts.  My heart was beating SO fast!! Everytime he said a name, it wasn't mine!  Finally, as the last name, he looked up at me and said "And Emma as Belle" I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!! I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!  All week I had been telling myself "okay, emma there are other, more experienced girls who have a big chance of getting Belle" so I wouldn't take it too badly if i didn't get it.  I am so excited!!!  I don't even care that I have to fall in love with a guy!! Or that I have to sing an entire song by myself!!  Or that I have to practice all the time!! I have never been more excited!!! I'm sorry if I'm acting like this is a bigger deal than it is, but I just really thought I wasn't going to get it.  THANK YOU UNIVERSE!!!!!
