1st Semester

I HAVE COMPLETED ALL MY DEMOS AT LONG LAST!

Thank you to all the loyal readers of this little blog. I feel honored and grateful toward all those who took time out to keep up with my excerpts. Today, thursday the 2nd of June marks my final day as a First Semester student at AMDA. It's all down hill from here! Hahaha. No, not downhill, though I'm told the effect feels alot like a mad snowball careening out of control down a steep hill. From here on out things will get very intense, very hectic and crowded.

Today was a relative breeze compared to the other demos too. Only sight singing (the hardest part of this one was the fact that it was at 8 am and I was so wound up yesterday after Dance demos that I stated up into the wee hours of the morning, garnering maybe a total of 3 hours sleep.) and then a Musical Theatre Film Lab Exam- my only written exam here. It was very cut and dry. very anti climactic. yesterday, Musical Theatre and 2nd Round Dance Demos was the biggie- the hurdle I was fretting over.
However, fret as I frequently do, the final decision is this: They both went very well. As a class the A1's really delivered in Musical Theatre and our teacher [the head of the department, coincidentally] had tears of pride (relief?) in her eyes as she bade us a fond farewell. We really stepped it up, and I am particularly proud of my group-mates. We have become very much like a family. I love them all and in a few short hours we're going out to dinner, to celebrate and to tear up over the loss of some of our friends who have decided not to return for second semester.

Still not packed. yipes. this is not going to be an easy chore. I smell disaster. BUT nothing can crush the elation inside of me that sings: I MADE IT!!!! believe it or not (and to my frank astonishment) I ACTUALLY MADE IT! I'm one quarter of the way through!

Love and Appreciation,
Signing off from NYC,
