Home Before Dark

Once again, I have my life back. I don't particularly want it; I usually have nothing to do. But yes, it's true, the school musical is over and I now have no reason to stay at school till 10 o'clock every evening. I can return home before dark. For those of you who don't know, I've been playing Rapunzel's Prince in the musical Into the Woods for the past five months. It's been fun, it's been wonderful, but it's finally finished.
