Catching Up

So, this blog was meant to help who ever was bored enough to wonder about how my life at college was going. However, ironically, the last time I blogged, it was before I had even gotten to school. So this is going to be a quick catch up, and just stuff... Yeah...

So anyways, My final schedule looks like this (and yes, right now were halfway through the semester):
M,W,F: TMA 201- Theater History, American Heritage, and TMA 101- Intro to Theater, and Book of Mormon
T,Th- Beginning Jazz (Dance), Yoga and Alexander Technique, and TMA 123- Acting Fundamentals

So my favorite classes by far are Intro to theater, and acting fundamentals (I know, you all are positively shocked.) Ive been made the stage manager for a group project in 101. Its actually really fun, surprisingly. So, we all wrote a play, then we picked our favorite out of everyone. We ended up picking my friend Jenna's called "A Hairy Situation", which is actually really funny. I got picked for Stage Manager because I am the only one with remotely any experience with it, because we're pretty much a group of actors, so...
I'm actually really excited about it!

Then for Acting Fundamentals, we've been partnered for scenes, and you can tell our teacher is an improve teacher, because he loathes sticking to the script to tightly.His favorite thing to do is yell out random tactics that we have to figure out how to use at that moment, weather they make any sense at all. And they are so random! Hes yelled at me "to refrigerator!" And yes, I have to figure out how to "refrigerator" my partner in order to get what I want in the scene. Its unnerving, but a lot of fun!

I'm doing pretty well when it comes to friends, I like to think. I like every one in my FHE group. There all really fun, and interesting people. I get along with my room mates pretty well, and I have friends in most my classes. The people I haven't seen are actually my friends from home! Ive seen some of them once or twice, but that's it! It kinda makes me sad!

I'm not going to lie, I'm having a lot of trouble with being home sick; a lot more trouble than I thought I would. Everyone in Provo, specifically BYU, just has different senses of humer, different levels of acceptance of certain different ideas, and definitely different... kinds of minds... Everyone seems to wear a halo about everything! Its so different and I'm alot more comfortable around my more,,, interesting friends.

Well, I'm now bored, so I'm going to leave it at that and hopefully get better at this from now on. BYE!
