pretend it's still Friday...

This is my blog entry written as if it were still Friday.

lessons learned today:
Jazz: apparently no one in my jazz class can walk in heels properly, so Lloyd is going to show us how on Monday...

Audition Tech: My voice part is NOT alto (because alto isn't a voice part?) OR a mezzo-soprano. I'm a soprano. Who knew? I guess I've had the wrong definition of these terms my whole life. And I still don't fully understand... embarrassing.

Musical Scene Study: Aimee, my teacher, is my hero. To quote Alexis, "I want to shrink her and carry her around in my pocket." That, and take all her knowledge, insight, and text analysis skills and copy&paste them into my brain. Today she helped me access my inner vixen, and be more aggressive. She said I shouldn't be afraid to let my characters be strong and aggressive. She doesn't want me to play it safe. I had a minor break-through today in class. (Only minor because I'm not sure I'll be able to deliver the same aggressiveness that I eventually did AGAIN without her help.) But by the end of this six-weeks, I will know how to physically show strength and aggressiveness on stage. I WILL. I'm determined.

After class today I was SO exhausted. I walked home in the rain without an umbrella, which was actually really wonderful. I decided that nothing sounds better to me than staying home and catching up on So You Think You Can Dance. And I have 7 episodes to catch up on... I'm pumped. I'm also going to watch West Side Story... because I've never seen it. And that's just wrong.
