Today I ate two egg rolls and sucked down 20 oz. strawberry smoothie
from Smoothie King. Sounds appetizing, doesn't it? I always have a
hard time staying away from food on days that I have my group voice
class because it's all the way over by Aderhold, which is right in the
middle of a million restaurants and cafes. Anyways, I'm doing what I
can to avoid throwing up, so the obvious solution is to make sure I
don't over-eat. So I didn't throw up today!

In Acting II today, I finally got to perform my monologue. However,
just before I was to go on stage, Is told me that my monologue's too
long, so I made a mental note to cut out the equivalent of thirty
seconds from it. Needless to say, I had a bit of trouble focusing,
and my performance was rather choppy. When the professor started
critiquing me, I was blushing so much on stage, I thought my face
would melt from the heat. She wasn't unkind with her advice though,
and was actually rather kind. I just don't like being wrong, and was
very frustrated because I have performed this monologue before to
great reviews. After everyone else had left, I explained to her the
last minute changes, and she asked me to perform the original
monologue for her. After we cut a few lines, I performed it again, and
she said it was "quite lovely." So I feel much better now.

Tomorrow, I'll be performing all four monologues for my acting coach.
He's been helping me out for free (instead of the usual $50/hr!)
because he knows my father won't pay for sessions. I'm crossing my
fingers that everything will go well.
