First Day of Class

I find it funny that I have to resurrect this blog after only using it for a semester to write down my business class assignments, but now my new class, for assignments, has me blogging again. I don't mind it. Its something that I should actually be doing more often, I mean, the prophet tells us to write in our journals at least once a week and I fail terribly at that.

Well, I should probably tell more about my class which is making me blog about my life / class experiences. In order to graduate as quickly as possible from BYU I need to take Fundamentals of Act (TMA 123) although I am neither an actor nor someone that can act but it does fulfill my major so I guess its a necessity. I must say I was rather leery of the idea of taking an acting class but then I met my teach and her TA my fear was swept away. My teacher is a wonderful actress / director at BYU, with a reputation and resumé long enough to shake a stick at. Her name is Stephanie Breinholt and I am quite fascinated with what she has to teach us this semester and how she says she can help us become better actors and actresses. The classes TA is an old friend of mine, Gabriella C. its good to see her healthy and happy.

Todays class being an introduction to the course was short and sweet. Stephanie introduced herself and each student did as well. We then proceeded to play trust games / exercises to build trust. Apparently these games are used to teach us how to trust one another so each member of the class can feel comfortable and trust one another. Our homework for the class is to describe yourself in three minutes or less using three objects. perhaps I will choose objects from work that tell about my life as a mailman.
