For Thou Are Graciously Here --translation--> Hello

So for my Drama class this semester I had to memorize a monologue and guess which one I was given? No other than Romeo and Juliet. And who am I? Thou are fair and kindly Juliet. ;) so for the past week and a half I have been studying up a storm. Last night I was up untill 11pm! On a school night!!! :O lucky I memorized it and was 100% ready to have my line check today.... Only instead of a line check, we watched a performance on DVD.... So your telling me, I stayed up 'till how late on a school night for no reason? Oh my. ;) and no offense to those of you who are but I am NOT a big fan of Shakespeare at all. :P oh well I've memorized it and now I'm going to "boss" (do REALLY good) my performance. :) have any of you had to memorize a monologue before? If so, what was it? Anything funny happen that you would be willing to share?
