So I will start with yesterdays doings....
I signed up for my english conference: I got tomorrow. So, I don't have class on Fri or Mon! (Well I don't have english, but I have my other classes). Bio was Bio....More Darwin stuff...I think we get it by now! Rehearsal was cancelled. And the time was returned to 5:30 instead of 7...so, Allison, I will be walking there in daylight, and you don't have to worry.
Yesterday I also watched She Devil it was so bad it was good! The story line and screenplay was horrid but to the point of hilarity. Meryl Streep was hysterical. She is so versatile. But this was one of my favs of her...then again all of her characters are my favs....I'm not obsessed though...there is a difference...she is just my idol...don't judge me....I mean, you can, but it won't change my opinion or anything....
Moving on...to Today!
I had acting, which was amazing! turns out the monologue I thought I needed for today (which I didn't have prepared) isn't due until the 23rd, so I have time...but I will jump on it so I am prepared.... We worked on soft focus which is where you don't make eye contact with any object or person, (it's difficult to explain) you are aware of everything but aren't focused on any one thing....I found it easy because it was like dazing out...you know when you are aware of everything but are like paralyzed, and someone waves their hand in front of your face...I do that all the time, so this came rather naturally.... Then we did Colombian Hypnotism...which is where you have a partner, and one person is A and the other is 1....to start person A holds out their hand (with the palm facing their partner) and you lead your partner...if you are the follower your partner's hand is all that matters to you, it is all you are focused on and you must follow....My partner, as was most of the class, was all giggly and said, "I must look stupid"...when we switched (and i have done this before in HS and I love this) I was 100% focused and into it and when we finished she was in "awe" and was like, "you are so good"...I kind of wanted to say, "duh...I was focused, the whole point of the exercise is to focus...duh" but I didn't.....And I came to a realization (I have thought about it before but ...) And that was... As an actor, people tell me I am good, but I cannot see myself act...when I am on stage I become so into the play that afterwards I don't remember being on stage (for instance, when tandace and I did Your Mother's Butt supposedly someone in the audience made a remark and I don't remember hearing anything...) It's weird....But when I act I try to throw myself into what I am doing, just letting go, sometimes it is more difficult but it just makes it so much more fun to really "become" whatever I am doing...Recently I have heard, on like three different accounts from three different people (some of which weren't even directed to me but I still connect them with myself) that in acting you are where you need to be when you can let yourself go to the point where you become lost in piece...and, jumping back a little, sorry, when people tell me I am good I kind of just look at them , because I am a modest person...I am not egotistical (except when talking about singing at thespian conference...we got an excellent...that's just funny though...right Tom?)...but taking all of this in I feel (I can't explain it right but I will try) I feel like I a on the right track...if I pursue acting, I know I have so much to learn I am not saying I am amazing because I know I'm not and I want to work to that...but I don't know if any of this makes sense or if I am just going on and on....It just makes me feel good knowing I am doing something right....
Anyway... in between Acting and Calculus...I watched an episode of the Dick Van Dyke show...I laughed so hard _______________ (next mad-libber)
I am debating on who should win the last one....I would follow Allison's in a heart beat...but Tom's was really funny....and it really can't be a tie because he commented on Allison's ( I mean I am in charge I could make it tie...but it doesn't feel right)...
I think I will give it to Tom...BUT...in the future....NEW RULE (yes I can do that) You cannot use what the other person has said...it's an unfair advantage...and it is not as much fun for me...
BUT for now I will give this one to Tom...you win.....
(Sorry I am a bit distracted...I am listening to Alvin and the Chipmunks sing the Time Warp)
a joke.....
What is green and grows and has little red wheels (I'm just kidding, that is Kristen's joke)
For those of you who are curious about the joke above....Kristen told us this one...the answer is...the grass...I lied about the little red wheels...(cricket chirps)
I really don't know what your prize shall be Tom! I will continue writing and if I think of something I will go from there....
calculus was easy again, we have an exam next Thurs on the stuff we covered up until today...so what we will do this Thurs and next Tues is beyond me...but I was helping this girl today...it made me feel smart! I like calculus!
Here is your prize Tom...it is a Canadian Medal
Oh...I forgot to tell you about my Gym experience....
No, Tom it is not a romance novel in the works...honestly he is not good looking at all (not that I was going for that reason, I really want to get into shape..my eating habits have gone to hell since I moved out and I just feel out of shape) Anyway...I had to do some small assessments to see where I would start out...I had to walk as fast as I could on a treadmill without stopping or slowing down for a mile...I walked 4.3 mph and I wanted to kill myself after the 15 minutes it took to walk a mile....ugh! But like 10 minutes after I was back to my dorm relaxing my legs felt better...today though my gluteous maximus is sore and I don't know why...from walking?? I hopefully will go back to the gym tomorrow or Thurs/Fri and keep it up....wish me to break a leg (I don't really want that to happen I just have an actor's vocabulary)....
I have a huge Bio exam tomorrow...if i fail I am required to attend every class for the rest of the semester, which is not good because on Monday i have to go see Blair and I don't have Eng so I was going to take the day off... So pray for me! I believe it is on the scientific method...but it is more complicated than it sounds....
I also have rehearsal tomorrow...we should finally start working! I am excited for that!
Other than that not too much going on.... I will let you know how all of this goes tomorrow evening!
Allison, keep awaiting for your surprise, it will arrive this weekend...I mailed it out and they assured me it will be there! Sorry to keep you on the edge of your seat but it is a surprise!
Bon Appetit!

Emily, you never have to apologize for not posting. Really. And for clarification, you ARE obsessed. And yes, this is me judging you.
I'm going to skip the acting thing momentarily except for this: Yes! Excellent rocks! We so earned it too. It sucks for all you less talented, less cool "good" people.
One session with Dave and your butt is sore...you do the math. Apparently it easy for you now.
And a Canadian Medal? Really? If thats what i win, i'm no longer competeing. Allison can have all the canadian medals. Why? Because if I took one, that woud be passing up an American resource and that could come back to haunt me when I run for elected office.
I certanly hope your bio exam goes well. It would simply be tragic if you had to go to class. I mean, this is college, not some learning place.
Because I can't resist...
"I laughed so hard I..."
peed a little, then blamed it on spilt water.
