New beginnings

So the New Year and new school semester is underway! Today is our third day of classes, and honestly, I am very pleased as my classes definitely do not seem like they will be hard at all. The hardest/most time intensive class will probably be Theatre History, which is alot of work- but nothing I haven't done before. Then I have sound design, which is based on design projects involving sound, which will be kind of fun I think, especially as I don't have to do a One-Act! That definitely was stressing me out. But since there aren't actually enough One-Acts to go around, some of us were spared! Haha. My only other real class is Intro to Poetry Writing, which I think will definitely be...interesting. There are no tests/quizzes/exams- it's solely a workshop based class, but I have to say it is a little bit intimidating, as I'm a little out of my element. I mean I'm a hugely artistic/creative person and have dabbled in everything from singing, dancing, acting, painting, drawing, writing, etc., yet poetry is one thing I don't have any experience in, really. I'm also not a huge poetry reader. That's not to say I don't like it, I always enjoy sections on poetry in my English classes and the like- but I've never gone out and just read a book of poetry in my leisure time necessarily.
Needless to say, I'm going to be reading alot of poetry this semester just so I don't seem stupid- and produce trite, old fashioned work, as everyone will be critiquing all of our poetry. Which stresses me out because I'm such a novice...but I'm sure it will be alright! Poetry is such a subjective thing, anyways. I mean there are some poems out there by accomplished poets that are like, "Huh?" haha. So I shouldn't really think too hard about it I guess. I just don't want to be like that one main campus major in an Acting 1 class who is like " OH I KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THEATRE WICKED IS THE BEST OMG!!" haha
It will all work out though, I'm sure. I mean the type of person I am, I feel like I have to "conquer" everything I attempt- so I will conquer you, O world of poetry! :P

Maybe I'll share some on my blog!

But anyways, on top of classes I'm rehearsing for my ACTF scene as well as Robin's dance show so my time is pretty occupied. Thankfully I started this new thing where I wake up at around 6:30 every morning and just take my time to leisurely make breakfast, pack, finish up homework, do a workout, etc. so I am finding that I actually get things accomplished. It's a habit I'm planning on keeping up too as I really feel good about my day once I've gotten everything done in the morning!

Well, I hope everyone has a great start of the semester :)
