December 09 snowWell, we got another snow yesterday and today, one I would call a real storm. It feels so cool. I mean, the snow was like up half way to the knee, and I feel that I can just roll on the ground and make a snowman out of myself. I did some snow shuffling, something I haven't done in a while, totally brought back the memories in high school. Apparently, people here are not used to this kind of stormy snow, they are trying to force their way up the driveway and apparently, that's going to leave them no other result than get their cars caught up by the snow. Anyway, may God bless all that still have to make their ways through this terrible weather, that they are going to be safe. December 07 finalsIt's about time to have some fun. I am done with the last of my classes and is now looking forward to a whole week of readings and preparation. Hopefully I can pull out ok.
Thinking about going to Florida for a week in the winter break, don't know the exact plans yet, but it's going to be fun. At least better than staying here and enjoying the cruel weather, it's getting way too cold over here.
I don't know how everyone is doing, for my information, my dad is sick. So for everyone and him, bless you all and hope everyone take care of their body well. December 05 Well done, Split PersonalityWell, it's long since I last came here. For some reason, I haven't been online as much in the last couple of weeks, which results in my long-term absence.
One liberating news, I'm done with my first finals. The Creative Actor Class had a final performance today, which featured the two Sessions of about 50 students and a whole crowd of audiences. Strangely, for a person that gets over his head in front of a large audience as fast as me, I didn't panic, not for a single moment. My leg used to quiver and tended to give way when I was before the crowd, but this time, I didn't even feel them.
Anyway, I was put in a team with a couple of guys who were great but not phenomenal, and as far as the performance went, we did a good job, but not good enough to advance even to the second round. I managed to get a few laughters, but that's all there was to say. I am not in a losing spirit, though, to see all these great friends I made in the class going up there and doing their best, and they were amazing. One group from our class ended up taking the first place, and we were all happy. The only thing that I felt bad about is that now this class is ACTUALLY going to be over. It's funny, after a whole semester of being driven behind my mind by this class, I really don't want it to be over. There are so many great people in the class, and everyone is friend with everyone else, and most importantly, everyone supported each other, and that's the best feeling ever. Besides, I got some Ketchup on my sweatshirt and had to roll up my sleeves to look good. And I can't even go back and change, not because there's not enough time, but because our team was named after the logo on my shirt, "Split Personality". We actually started with "The Yiming's", then we decided to drop it because not only did it seem lame, but that obviously made me "El Capitain", and I was just not up to the responsibility.
One thing this final performance did teach me made me sympathize with Yao Ming. One player can't make a team win. As great as Yao has been doing this season, he is just not getting the support he needs from his teamates. Today in the performance, the team that won really had the best colaborative effort in addition to some really sparkling individual performances. We lost, I am not saying that I am good or anything, but our team really didn't have that much inspiration. But again, no need laboring on that, now that it's over, all that I have to do is to remember all the great people and the great moments that this class gave me. For all I know, I am going to miss this class so much, and that is, no matter what kind of grade i got on this class, this is always going to be the fun-est class that I have ever taken, ever.
Well, now that is over, and I just have to take care of three other tests, all maths in my case. I am worrying about the Joyce ones, but for Sternberg, it's still in the air. NO idea what she is going to give on the test, and it's going to be the first take-home test that I have in my life. Pretty excited about it. |
