Nearing the end.

pipistrellafelixAs of now, I am finished with all the homework I've got this semester. All I have left for school is the tech/dress and the showcase. And the Seagull on Thursday, but that's not school.
I might post my acting reflection, since I do like to ramble about theater in here. Maybe later.
Usually I have some feeling of triumph when I'm done with a semester. At this point I'm not sure what I feel. My papers were mostly so ridiculous that I can't possibly triumph over them, just vaguely kick them around until they're done with. Rehearsals are just....okay, some better than others.
I still really like Movement, dress rehearsals and all, because our dance is pretty awesome, no lie, & Diane is straightforward, funny, and a take-no-bullshit kind of woman, and I like that. There's really no room for vagueness is dance. There's a movement. You've either got it or you don't; there's no pussyfooting around about meaning; the only effect on the audience we worry about it how to make the back of us as interesting as the front, & whether or not we're going to whack anyone in the face.
Acting is good too, because it's also straightforward. We have scenes. We do them. Even the surreal one (which I'm in, & honestly really like a lot) is matter of fact; the last few classes we've just been running, polishing, and working on transitions.
I don't mind Antoinette's devising piece, partly because I get to be a murderous clown & hide for most of the piece. But I won't mind being done with the class. I still don't quite know what Devising is. Please don't ask me. I might cry.
And please, please don't ask me about Voice. It's just...too much of stuff that isn't voice-related at all, & it makes me sad & disappointed. I just finished writing my reflection paper for it, which was mostly about how I wanted more classes to be like the first day, at which we actually...talked about voice. *sigh*
Oh well. I plan to have loads of fun in my last few days here; lots of hanging out with people, drinking a bit more Guinness or cider & black, taking photos and rushing around to see parts of Dublin for one more time. I may do a final picture post, I may not...we'll see.
[Also, I am listening to Handel's Messiah on NPR, & basically just skipping around to find my favorite choruses. (These being, apparently, the Hallelujah chorus, because, well, why not; and the For unto us a child is born, for the gorgeous recitation of names...though I do always think of Alice from BXPE. Although I'm also fond of We like sheep have gone astray, mostly for the imagery.) <-- Nerd.]
