Finality
This is technically my final post. I will post my final video tomorrow, but I don't have access to my computer at the moment and it wasn't finished sharing my video to quicktime when I was using it. This semester has been interesting, especially considering it was my first at Stony Brook. I am grateful for what I learned in my classes, but especially grateful for remembering how bad my life could be were I not in school at the moment. Also, I wish everyone in this class would walk away with the ability to start doing things themselves and thinking for themselves. A lot of you have a lot of growing up to do and should consider starting soon to become self motivators and not ask so many redundant questions.
The Plan
For next semester I have 4 classes so far, one of which is Spanish. I am really excited to continue a minor in spanish. I am tossing around the idea of taking another class with Baldwin. We will be focusing the future of theatre. Some days the future of the theatre is scary to me. Other days I want to embrace it. Today I am in between.
One last video
I made one last video, compiling Saturday's experience together and it looks pretty cool. It is rendering right now and I realize I'm quite appreciative of everything I've learned in Baldwin's classes this semester. He's one of the most interesting Professors I've ever had. Although I'd have appreciated my classmates being a bit more self reliant, this was still a great experience.
People are too sensitive
To me it seems that people are too sensitive and react too seriously to what other people say these days. Most times I just ignore what someone said if it really bugs me. At new years last year some guy called me a fatass. Yes, it hurt more than most anything and sometimes I think I should have punched him square in the face but I didn't. I don't think he had a brain in his head and I'd rather be fat than a douchebag anyday so I don't think I'm worse off than him at the end of the day.
Our Experience
Our experience in the city was pretty fun. There was a point in my life in which I didn't go in for about a year, almost two. I enjoy going in, no matter what time of year. If I can find some time before christmas we're going back in to see the tree. I doubt we'll have the time and my boyfriend is sick with a cold at the moment, but I am looking forward to getting back in there for fun.
The Tank Experience
I think our experience in The Tank was an interesting one. I don't think it was fair that the grad students had so much time while our students didn't have nearly as much time. A lot of people left during the grad students presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed the Hamlet presentation but I didn't enjoy the grad student presentation. My boyfriend usually gets the artistic/weird stuff I do but completely didn't get anything that we were doing that day. He wasn't very happy.

If I could live my life differently
If I could go back in time, what would I change about my life? I would have gotten rid of my ex boyfriend sooner. I'd have gone to the gym more. I'd probably be in California studying theatre right now at UC Irvine. I would have gotten the Juilliard Internship I wanted so badly a few years ago. I'd have stayed in school so that right now I'd be studying for my master's instead of my bachelors. I'd have focused more in high school and more in college so I could get better grades. I would probably have started being nicer to people at an earlier age so that I might possibly have more friends, although I probably wouldn't have more friends anyway since I can tell when people are being fake and it's something I hate more than anything else in this world. My life would be completely different if I'd had done things properly, but then I also wouldn't have the life knowledge I now have since I have experiences now that I sometimes wish I could connect.
