Acting Hurts

I am getting tired. My energy levels are low and I'm not in the best of moods right now. I'm also experience the post-haircut blues since I can't seem to style my hair the same way they did it at the salon.

Yesterday, things were going fairly-well in class. We did relaxation and sensory exercises and then she thaught us something she calls the Suit exercise. I had been feeling kind of off all day though and, by the time we started doing our scene, I was stuck.

I'm not exactly sure what it was. It may have been because the last time we did our scene it had gone so well, that I wanted to recreate that. It may have been that I had ideas about the scene and I was trying to push those instead of following my impulses. Although I did manage to shake it off early in the scene, I was not too happy with myself once it was over.

We got some good notes, though. I found out that I have very agressive impulses and I need to push those further in the scene. I also need to send my ego out of the room when I perform and stop it from beating myself up.

The show at the Fringe was better this time around. We had a decent house considering the Stanley Cup finals were on.

During one scene my bra keeps popping out of my top and so I think we're going to start a little game called "Guess what colour Nancy's bra is tonight".

However, it is a fairly physical show and I am getting major bruising all over my wrists, knees, and arms. Add to that the rug burn I got in class and you'll understand why I'm feeling some pain at the moment.

I just want to go back to bed, but I have another class today.

This is what I want to do with my life, right?

Right

Back to work
