goodbye first semester, it was my pleasure :)

today was the last day of my first semester at AMDA!!
i love this school so so SO much, and everyone who goes here.
This is definitely where I need to be. There's not a doubt in my mind.
I feel like i've really grown and advanced as an actress.
I realized the most important thing was to simply just not act, don't try. Before I would try and perfect every word I said and I would just practice over and over and over until I was stuck in a pattern. But then I realized being stuck in a pattern meant there was no room for improvement or an open mind to try new things. But I think i'm out of that now :) I rocked my acting scene from the very beginning, my part as Muriel. My instructor told me that today. She hasn't had any critiques for me, which never ever happens for anyone in the class. She loved everything i was doing. I stayed after to talk to her today and she told me how much i'd improved and that she really like what i'm doing. AHH that makes me so happy!! Just the feeling that I know what i'm doing now, and it's only my first semester!
I love you American Musical and Dramatic Academy!

2.1.11

ha i just noticed i hadn't blogged in awhile. SOOO i went and got a bunch of stuff from urban outfitters today and then i went to that one store on hollywood between cahuenga and ivar. Well the guy thought i was pretty so he decided to give me a shit load of dresses for free!! Like 30$ dresses. Yep, For the win.

Then I had a rehearsal with Nik for sundown beach, which went splendidly. We're really listening to eachother and being effected, by eachothers words and touch. It's really coming along and it feels real. I am just ready for Flanagan to critique us now! she works with people for an hour and then she does our scene for 5 minutes. She gives nik one or two things to change, tells me what she liked and then that's it. Which i guess is a good thing, but i feel cheated. I am paying for criticism!! ha but i guess it's good? Then I went and rehearsed vocals. I'm singing the actuary song with allie for cafe performance auditions. Then I'm doing roxie from chicago!!!! and home from beauty and the beast, which i lovee singing. They're all great and I'm in love with them all. I just wish i've been singing since i was 5 ha. but oh well, this whole learning process is fun.

OH AND THEN I ALMOST DIED. I guess i was the last one in the building because it was 11. Then out of nowhere the lights turned off. SCARY SHIT. then i had to use my phone to manuever to the door, which i freaked and thought was locked, but it was just stuck. Then i ran into the security guard with only my cell light, and he's a big indian guy and i thought he was some murderer there to kill innocent girls rehearsing vocals late at night. BUTTT he was just the guard. Yep, i shrieked and woke up all of amda pretty sure. 

Anywho t'was my day :D
