Day 108: February 10, 2011.

I'm going to be totally honest with you...I had a really difficult time today finding something to record on here.  I actually had that thought as I was walking between classes at one point-What am I going to write about in my "Like" List tonight?!  Thursday is a marathon day if I ever knew one.  Ballet followed by Modern followed by Voice followed by Modern Art followed by Acting, then a quick break before good ol' 2 and a half hour American Musical class to top off the day.  (Is that a run-on?  I think it might be.  Haha!)  I'm not complaining, for I really do enjoy each of these classes and I really like being in each one!  I guess my emotional reaction to Thursdays is more of a "I can't believe one day can hold so much school" kind of reaction!

Being the fifth class of the day, and depending on how much energy I really feel like exerting, acting class is either great or it's the last place I want to be!  Almost always, though, I absolutely love it when I'm there. I learn a lot and have a ton of fun while doing so!  Today's class was exactly what I needed in order to keep me at least somewhat awake for the final stretch of the day.  Before getting to work on our work for the day our teacher has us start class with a few acting games.  So far, all the ones we've played have been so much fun and more often than not we're all laughing by the end--yet still very concentrated in order to successfully accomplish the games.  I'm not going to try to explain the game we learned today because I don't think I'll be able to get what the game entails into cohesive words, but it was called "Samurai" and it was a fun, fun effort meant to get us working together as a group (since working with other people/actors is really the most important part of scene work).  After a few uncertain rounds of the game we got the hang of it and really got into it!  After just running across campus from a lecture--and 75 minutes of frenzied note-taking--this was the perfect midday boost of energy!  Gotta love THAT!! :)

So today, at the end of a long, long school day, smiles, laughs and silly (but not really!) games make me happy :)
