First Week of Drama

Ok, so the first week of Drama has been a little better than I expected it to be. When, on the first day our teacher asked us to pair up with someone we did not know and start a very awkward conversation, I was a little nervous and completely scared to death. Then afterwards when we created a little skit with that person and another couple people we didn't know, I felt way more comfortable. I feel that the grade 11/ 12 split is actually very awesome. At first I was very nervous about that also, but a lot of the grade 12's are very out there and obviously have more experience then I have with drama. They bring more ideas to the table.

I'm a little nervous for the audition coming up later this month. Already in the first week I have done a lot of reflecting on which monolouges and song I would like to do. So far, I have come up with a monolougue from Peter Pan for my modern one, because I read the original Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie over the summer and fallen in love with it. It is such an amazing story. I've also decided to do a monolouge from Romeo and Juliet. I forget who says it, but it has the words "choking gall and a preserving sweet" at the end. I'm still looking for it in my book, but I'll look it up later to figure out where it is. The song choices I have come up with keep changing, and I am extremely nervous for the singing part. One thing that makes me really, really nervous is having to do it all in one audition, because I'm afraid that after I do the one monolouge I will be way too nervous to do another one and also sing. That's going to have to take a lot of practice.

So that's what has been going through my extremely crowded crazy mind along with my other insane classes that I'm probably not allowed to ramble about, so I'll just end it here. Hope you enjoyed reading about my worries. :)
