If you can't tell we are just beginning our unit on Chekov in Acting Studio. I'm going to miss Ibsen. My teacher really liked my work in both of my Ibsen scenes (one from Hedda Gabler where Lovborg and Hedda talk for the first time since she threatened to shoot him and the last scene in Ghosts where Oswald begs his other to kill him if he gets any sicker from the Syphillis he has...which is pretty much the most bad ass scene ever). I'm not really feeling Chekov at the moment, but hopefully that will change. The plays are just all so similar. It's a bunch of people who are stuck in their lives and they yearn to change, but noe of them actually do anything to make the change. It's so frustrating to read.
Well...I'm off to go do sonnet work in Voice and Speech...later days!
p.s. It is Spring outside...it's almost 70 degrees and sunny and gorgeous...HAPPY DAY!!!
