So, today we mostly had practice lessons and it was ok First in the morning we had vocals, than we had movement or dancing classes and than it was a lunch time and after lunch time we had our first blocking which means that we were practicing how we are going on and off the stage before and after certain songs. We had to wear our costumes and it was fun to see everybody moving around in costumes.

I have one big news. Are you ready? So, today I was talking with Celiana (our marketing coordinator) and she offered me internship in advanced team. So, what is an advanced team? Advanced team are people who are traveling ahead of cast to cities and they prepare everything in that city for the cast – host families, community impact, meetings, lunches etc. and they also have to work on promotion of Up with People program and The show. I was so happy to hear that news. I have been chosen to be part of advanced team in Sweden which means I will have to leave Thailand before the whole cast. So life is like this: there is always some sacrifice you have to make to get some other things in your life. So, for me it was really tough decision as I would have to leave Thailand one week before and I had to make that decision really fast. I could choose not to take part in advanced team and than maybe not to get a chance to be part of advanced team at all which is really extraordinary experience and enjoy Thailand for full 3 weeks or I could choose leaving Thailand before everyone else and get a chance to be part of advanced team. So, I have chosen advanced team and I will stay in Sweden for more than 3 weeks. More about that soon. I have to get good night sleep as community service is waiting for me tomorrow morning.
