Ol' Julius

I'm not sure where the title for this post came from....I guess I just have Julius Caesar on the brain. Classes have been going great. I have the most amazing modern acting teacher. His name is James Bundy and he is the dean of the Yale Drama School. I can't even describe how much I have learned from this guy in the last two weeks. Everything he says is so clear and understandable and AMAZING. He can take a scene that is already amazing and make it 500 MILLION times better. I feel so lucky to be in his class.

My Shakespeare class is ok, though I am often frustrated by my extremely British and crazy teacher, who is actually an actress, not a teacher. The other day she made me recite my sonnet while kicking a shoe around and swaying back and forth. I am sure there was a lesson to be learned from that exercise, but I would sure like to know what it was! I also have a class called physical where we are doing some really funny exercises with masks.

In other news it is extremely hot here and I am boiling to death as we speak. It is so beautiful though, so that makes up for everything. Alrighty, gotta run and memorize a new sonnet!

Hi Darby, I really miss you today. Can't wait to see you.

Today was my last day at Rose Bowl. This time around it was my decision when to leave swimming behind. It was the best work experience I have ever had.

Ran a mile today in 8 minutes and 29 seconds.

Loved hearing about your classes.
XOXOXO Be safe.
