Life is strange....not strange...but a very interesting puzzle and gift. I'm taking 21 credits this semester. That's 11 classes... Intro to Music 220 Literay Study: Research and Criticism English 200 Special Study: Pilates TH-D 477Q Dance Technique II: Horton 2 TH-D 207 Fundamentals of Oral Communication COMS 100 Stage Tech II: Scenery and Lighting THEA 255 Stage Tech II: Scenerey and Lighting Lab THEA 255A Fundamentals of Acting for Non-Majors THEA 110 Modern Dance III TH-D 306 Performance & Production THEA 395 It's a lot....but I'm really enjoying my classes. I love that my first class of the week is Pilates. My stage tech lab is a ton of work, more than 70 hours work outside of class of required. It's a really good experience though. Yes ladies and gentlemen I can use a reciprocating saw and I'm super good at hanging very expensive lights on very high ladders. My English teacher is really amazing and I feel very supported. We turned in our first paper of the semester a few weeks ago and before our break last week he sat me down and told me I needed to re-write it because I was better than a "C" paper. "C"s are average, not failing, and pretty good for freshmen...but I was really glad that I got a second shot at it since we only have 4 grades in the class. Thanks Jesus. What is even more exciting to me is that I'm not getting sick of or fed up with dance. Which means that I finally have the security in myself to enjoy and improve my technique in class and not be worried about being the fat ballerina. God gave me a talent for dance and I can't let my vanity and the devil's lies keep me from it. Other than that, life is pretty good. Nothing to really complain about. I do need prayer though. There's things I can't talk about massively to everyone, but if you want some detail i'll be happy to share. I hope my old sisters and brothers are doing well. I think of you often and pray for you. Keep seeking. Don't give up. |
