I just realized I didn't look for short monologues. They are so long. What's this, I never had a memorizing class. This is like History, now we can read.

Late Mid-Term 4 Acting 1
1. So, far, about the class, I feel it's just an opportunity to come in and act, like when I did singing you just come in and sing.
I think I'm doing well, for a 1st try. I feel I can correct myself.
I think my performance is refined and just find it as a practicing opportunity. I just don't really know about my age and past experience.
My concentration is pretty good, but I find the class is just a fun class but not fun about acting, really. I should probably be able to explain more, but that's all I think. It's not really important. I wouldn't like the other acting classes, anyway.
My ability to take direction is fine.
I work well with others, but they can tell I have problems, like with my race and health. However, I find they think I think I deserve too much.
I try to compare with other people, but I mean they seem kinda racist, like maybe they look more like a movie star than me, you know like a child starlet or like if there were some big, tall supermodel.
I am just frustrated, really just came in to have a good time because you never know what will happen in your life. Actually, I would have came last semester, stayed home to get better, but I wasn't sure I would. However, things just went downhill. I had to stop calling my grandma. I figured, if I didn't go, then I'd get mad. It was a miserable time at home. If I didn't know about your class, I'd just wait and look for something else.
2. What do you mean taking direction without defensiveness?? I cannot say you are unoffensive, and I mean if someone told me I was offensive I'd take it in stride..
I think my voice is stronger than most people's. It's just not as specific, like as thin-worn.
My diction is appealing and unappaling. However, I have a hard time with German sounds.
My movement seems pretty spot-on because I've always been like self-conscious.
My dance is probably better than most actors since I'm also a ballerina and did gymnastics and athletics..
My facial expression is getting better. The nose strip really helped, but I know you can't use them all the time.
My flexibility is like weird, like I can't seem to bend over the right way, like I'm not European, like I'm a poor, thin Asian man.
My concentration seems better than most people's. I mean, I know like having sparkly, blue eyes is good.
My memorization is very good. I don't feel as fuzzy on it and am not as nervous about forgetting. However, I guess since I cleaned my room maybe my life will be less strenuous. I have my camera set up now so I can post it on YouTube and wait and see if anyone will ever comment, not hard to record.
My discipline to work hard is not under the par.
Taking direction carefully is something I care about immensely.
I take direction without defensiveness. I guess some people are just worried about who they are, like their lifestyle, should get a blog.
My creativity seems to be more fervent than others's passion for impressing others for attention.
My improv skills seem pretty stale and raw, but I'm getting there, by and by.
Other things are maybe I just need more time reading drama, but I mean I find I'm made fun of for a lotta c*** I read. I mostly blog and read blogs and even have blogs with my own stories I made during a time I just stayed home, last semester, and took walks and watched the TV show "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." I like "Cats" fanfic, but I did that when it came out, the DVD, in 1998. I guess I need to get healthier. I noticed my skills digressing, as well. Like, sometimes, when I act, it's not really as stellar, like because I'm in the process of preparing for something else in my life. So, it might be like when I started singing, and I have interesting emotional moments, weird ways of pronouncing things in American English and ***y gestures.
3. Distracting physical habits may include my hair. I've already tried dying it, actually, and went bald. That may have been the cause of my problems. Maybe, I didn't like my bangs. Maybe, I didn't like the hair gloss. It was supposed to wash out, you know. So, I just was worried it really is too expensive to get a perm at my age and stature. I mean, it's not blonde, so I don't know how to dye it. People expect it to be black because my mom is Asian. I guess with Middle Easterners, it must be a different situation. I'm gonna look at the hair products and see if I can fluff it up and thicken it. I've already been using Sheer Blonde for so long but had it dark recently. It was brown before but like looked black sometimes, so. It just seems like kinda spuddy and maybe Eurasian. I don't see anything good about it. I mean, shiny hair is good, but if it's always black it doesn't really count. I can't do anything about my ancestors, but my mom is not very dark. I guess I also didn't dye it because I realized that no color would blend in, at my age. I'm not from up north, and I don't know any Eurasians from there. I see lots of people dye their hair, so maybe I want to be different. I mean, I wouldn't make it very red, though it used to be red. It's just that black undertone, I'm trying to make it naturally better.
I used to always touch my thick, fluffy hair. When it was less fluffy, I would touch my nose, though. Now, I tend to get irritated from an embarrassing thing "online." I think getting up and going to Valencia helped. That's really my problem now. I have to say Tim Burton ruined my life. I was a big fan and still am. I mean, I couldn't improve at home, as a result of the hardships of being a fan. Johnny Depp made me m*********. I mean, I did that when I was 7-10 and not as often until my life became an experiment. I don't know what's wrong with it, but like weird thoughts make you do it. I just don't like how people make you feel all at once and you can't live your dream and be like a Flower Child. That's always been frowned upon. I think now we understand things better and could make life better for kids today. It's just like maybe something's not there. I firmly believe in the environment. So, what this does for my acting is like I mean I've always tried to be like stellar and quick, and I know some people, like strict people, are like that very much so, and you have to dig in and find out about it. I have subtle wrinkles of the face from being a thinner, gaunt, but not too thin person.
4. My greatest strengths as an actor so far are probably just like I mean I've been at home working on meditating myself but being unable to see anyone. I just post online and post myself singing, but I don't get comments so much at all. I think that's helped me the most. I just feel you didn't say like oh you're supposed to know about feeling good or I will help you refine yourself or oh this class is just for fun and like reading plays or me writing anything is not an option. I mean, you could at least like interpret something, but I mean maybe I missed something. I just don't know the benchmarks. I come in and do it and it feels funny getting credit hours for this, I mean, but I mean it's probably okay since I've done ballet. I do believe in your creed. I just don't come in submitting to s*** like about scripts. I know on IMDb they think it's about scripts, and I think that killed me. I've delved into something, and I didn't get something out of it. No one acknowledges how I can go into a movie, a musical, something I know about and something I care about. It's like an assignment, but no one cares. It's some thing that no one cares about because I'm the 1 who said it.

Voice for the Actor
In this class, I was only here a little while. I just marvel at the magnificence of the students memorizing their lines and becoming interested to impress you. I think they need to be healthier.
Acting I
I think we saw the last of the skits? I thought the skits were pretty good. The students are not well-kept. I mean, they put a lot into impressing people about going crazy and being nice with their white heritage, but I don't like how they push it on you that you're not okay racially because it's a rule because 1 day it won't be and they only do that to people who aren't Caucasian who think they're attractive enough to touch you as a white person. When we did ours, I mean, it was the 1st time in my life I forgot something, in this fashion. It kinda is the 1st time like in a somewhat official way, you know? I mean, I rehearsed over the break, so I don't know why I'd forget. I only did it maybe 3 times, though, and recorded and watched it, I mean. I'm not sure why I'd forget. I just don't feel like it, physically. I know my brother makes decisions like that. Like, I really am tired. You think, well, maybe more practice. You can't kill yourself over homework. I learned this routine, the hard way, and am from the very South, in a way. I don't like thinking about me forgetting. I mean, we don't rehearse it under much stress much like plays, but I believe that the non-musicals are very hard. I grew up on musicals but not on purpose. If I had a choice, I mean maybe I would do Musical Theater or alternate. I mean, there just wasn't like the knowledge of these things, and my mom didn't like ask me what all do you want to do? Like, we have money, you can do something. I also grew up knowing that you can do like other things young, as well, like maybe not be in theater until you're like 5 or 7, but then you think maybe at school you do that. All I can say is I wanted to do gymnastics, ballet, and singing and music, and I also did art well. Art was said to be a great asset to theater. I guess I would drop these things and do theater later. That's what I did when I couldn't find a good ballet, guessing ballet was more fun. So, I did get in theater at 14. I was never in a long play. I was able to take theater 1 year of high school, which seemed significant, ¼ of my time there, starting out in drama club. See, I didn't know I had to audition, or else I would have been in it, but I would miss art maybe + the Talented Music program, which I elected to get in for piano and then wasn't invited to sing after a girl rejoined the class. Anyway, I was able to be in choir, got a lot out of it, + I sang at home. I entered voice in college and it was my 1st time doing opera, like being exposed and doing classical songs. I have a small repertoire, strangely. It wasn't hard, at all, since I was in choir since I was 7. I do not wish to ever be in a long play, the way I never wish to sit there and play a classical piano piece for 45 minutes. I don't think that as gone through ballet in some fashion that I'd even want to train that way anymore. I just worried about not being a normal person.
Improvisation
I find this class very dorky and rather unworthy, and they need to hear the b***s***. They need to realize this is a community college that doesn't give a f*** in Orlando. I don't like how you sometimes act snobby about who goes, just to prove a point. It's like you have to give in to bad people because you're really not cool, just a nice person.
Um, I'm okay at improvising. I guess I just need to watch myself more at home, but I mean I don't act. I just act for school and like am into movies and Hollywood and mainly the non-theatrical arts but am an arts person.
I'm just kinda getting exercise or experience. I probably need to like look better and people will like me more.
week before
Voice for the Actor
In the 2nd class this week, I guess I am finding the practicing is really helping. In real life, my voice is getting much better. It's a lot of fun. I hope I am achieving, as I know I care as much as anyone else about my voice..
Acting I
This class is going nice. I like seeing the people remember their acting. It seems they put a lot into presenting themselves but whine about their private lives. All I can say is I mean I would eat more but also change how I act. Exercise is also necessary to keep you going physically and it makes you interesting, as well.
Improvisation
This class is rather a learning experience that is nice. I find myself learning more about myself, using the community college experience sorta as a pre-school experience. I mean, I find that, like, I learn to get along, I find myself. Then, I'm an interesting artistic person and actor. I don't think that's what others are interested in. I think they're lazy and racist, and I think encountering the truth they encounter racism. In that way, I don't like this class. I feel I am a good student, and everyone else is mean. No one helps me figure out this problem. I feel fine about what I think. I didn't mean like that in every way. I mean, like, the class just seems so hard to like focus on what acting is in the world and to me. They just sorta take your idea and make it their own. Like, I'm left out and have been my whole life being sorta artistic and like spiritual like I'm old-fashioned and like more European than American or something and all of a sudden I have all these bratty kids saying everything I've known is just something everyone does and I'm not different but no one will recognize me for liking this for some stupid reason. You must know what I'm saying. I feel that this generation is cr**** and if you hope for the kids you really like to be something you cannot do this to them just to say I am s*** and provided for to believe in something, just something for someone, something that's not for a kid, really, or else it would feel that way and be made up that way and it wouldn't be true and wouldn't "be" a problem! See, you think the generation that believes in things like it's hard to be an odd 1 out who likes to be more old-fashioned, which don't pretend you don't remember what it means because it's too much to go into in this assignment etc., now I forget, too, that it's for a generation basically that's like too old to be your kid and that they shouldn't do it and you're basically using this generation as a buffer against us, separating us, like a machine. I know you will introduce your kids to the joys of my generation. I just want to say that I am not prejudiced to older people being like younger generations and that I believe my dad is attractive but not ***ual. As for more notes on the class, I mean, I guess I am just thinking of how they are not focusing on acting and more on me not feeling good. I keep wanting to enjoy the community college experience, as it should be, but like it's hard to get the assignment and then we do it and they just kinda sit their and like twiddle their toe about paying attention. As for the improvising, I think I need to learn more how to be comfortable around them and maybe try it more on camera.
