catching up

Hey, I am so sorry. I just got quite disappointed because I hadn't heard from anyone (except Holly - hi! as soon as I can, I will write you an email! - since I had let you know about my blog. It was a bit discouraging!

But! here I am again. It is basically impossible to tell you everything that has happened to me since my last post. I will try to at least update you.

Academically, I'm doing pretty fine. Everyone makes this funny face when I tell them that up till last week I only had to submit one essay. Of course, I have some written work for French, mon autoportrait, par example, but other than that! Don't take me wrong, I am not complaining becasue of that, although more papers would help me develop my writing skills.

I like the critiquing class, though sometimes I feel that we keep repeating the same phrases. or whatever.
the Hollywood class is hmm, dunno a good word to insert here. I am gradually opening up at that class (well, I may just think that I do - sometimes I feel so limited by my language skills/speaking abilities. I ahte not being able to quick responds at this class.) the movies are good and sometimes bad at the same time. I have just received the take home exam questions yesterday (I mean on Wednesday). Interesting!!! I don't have problems with questions, we have basically covered the material he asks us to answer to, but the time, I have no idea, yet, when I will have the time to do it.

I have rehearsals almsot every day now, the first show is Nov. 11! it's very close. I got to like my part, but I still have some questions about her at certain points or parts at the play. I try to qork on them or figure out the answer to those questions, but, of course, I don't have a pocket version of the cast with me, so it's just a lone thinking.
I just love the people with whom I get to work with during the rehaersals. I mean, I enjoy watching them while doing their scenes, and I just love the work we do. Oh, (insert the proper thing you could imagine to be here), till I become part of the show and started really working on it, I didn't know what I was missing (okay, it's an exaggeration - I always knew that I loved doing the show at high school, only this sometimes really dull university life made me believe fora while that I would never have the chance, anyway, to engage in things like this.
I already regret that I have to go back! I mean, of course, not to my mum adn my friends, but to my life! :) it was harsh!

I have already made it clear to my advisor and my program manager that I want to make use of the benefeits of the J-1 visa and stay here after the school year is done. Interships or otehr work. And I would be so happy if I could find some programs I can participate in the upcoming semesters, or a different M.A. program.

okay, I'll try to go to bed earlier today that at any other day of the week, so bye! :)
