So today was just an introduction day, nothing particularly special to be said about that-- it's the usual stuff. A lot of the people in the class I know, which is a nice feeling, building friendships in class is normally the most effective way to become closer friends in college. You'd think it'd be different from high school like that, but it's not haha. We did an exercise with sticks and balancing them on our fingertips, which was both fun and challenging- it'd be interesting to do it again at the end of the year and see how much each of us have improved with our focus and finding our center of balance.
Mindfulness is a super cool exercise, so I'm excited that this class is about something I already know well but need to practice more. I meditate and practice mindfulness with food most of the time ( you'd be surprised how mindlessly we eat things) and now using it to become a well rounded actor with some solid fundamental skills in mindfulness is pretty great.
Honestly the thing I'm hoping to get out of this class is the balls to try and get into acting. I've wanted to for a long time, but I'm such a chicken-shit about it, like; what if I'm not good enough to act? What if it's just not my thing? Needless to say, I love the idea of it. I love building characters and making stories as a hobby ( I write. A lot.) so I imagine I'd at least be OKAY at it, but who knows? It's a multi-faceted art just like any other.
I mean, I just need to get over that, dragging myself backward about shit. Like. I've been drawing for 11 ish years, still think I'm not a very good artist. If I keep this mindset, I'll never get the courage up to act, regardless of my classes and a degree and any other opportunity put in my path.
It would also be nice to tone up a bit; build some muscles with those yoga moves Tim is planning. I really should exercise more.
That's all.
