mexico

So i was bummed to miss three days of acting class with everyone, but i can;t say i was to bummed because i got to lay on the beach in Mexico. One thing i found to be very interesting about the Mexican workers on the resort was that they did not care if you looked like an completely obvious American tourist or not, they spoke Spanish to you first before any English. I appreciated this, not only because I was able to practice my Spanish, but because it showed that they expected the guests to conform to their culture before they conformed to ours. I thought this was a very strong and subtle stand for them to make. Yes the beach was amazing and the water was beautiful. There were topless women hanging out to which is always a bonus! :)

Acting Scenes

In class last Thursday there were several different acting scenes which made the class worthwhile. Although I am certain that I have much more to do concerning the notion of acting while remembering lines, I am certain that the final project will be a success. While there are a few more things that must be done in terms of redefining the floor plan as well as creating a more convincing display of the lines that were given, I believe that for the most part our group is on track.

In conclusion I look forward to the next chance to improve my acting abilities through class participation as well as constructive criticism. I believe that this is the best way to create successful acting as well as building camaraderie among fellow peers.
