Hello Everyone!!
I'm sorry for the very very late blog entry, but I thought for a while I was going to stop writing posts. That being said, I find that it can be rather therapeutic, so fortunately for all of you I'll keep it up. There isn't going the be any set posting schedule and I'm thinking of changing the title and everything, but it's still going to be the same blog. Just me telling you all about my adventures at Sheridan and my thoughts on life in general.
Now it's already been three weeks, so there is a lot of stuff I'm going to have to leave out of this post. I'll tell you some important stuff and a few small stories, but don't expect as much detail as you're maybe used to. The first thing I need to say about my second year at Sheridan is the insane amount of classes that I have. I start around 9 in the morning, sometimes at 8 or 8:30, and I'm here till 6:00 every evening. Then, usually after that, I'm in a dance rehearsal and I generally don't get home until 8:00 or 9:00 in the evenings. On the other hand, I'm still very happy with many of my classes and love it, although I have to constantly remind myself "This is what I want to do... This is what I want to do!!"
So far, my favourite class of the semester and my new obsession is my Shakespeare class. We are working on Comedic Scenes right now from A Midsummer Night's Dream. For those of you who know the play, I'm doing the scene where Lysander falls in love with Helena and she thinks he's making fun of her. I find myself really wished that I had more than an hour and half of this class. I learn something totally new every time that I work with the teacher and it's always pretty hilarious. Yesterday, his feedback after watching the scene was that I try too hard, which I think could be a lot worse of a criticism.
Other than classes, we are also choreographing/directing a Dance Critique and an Acting Critique. Both are a part of your second semester, but you need to plan everything for them outside of all your other crazy classes. They also are supposed to be your challenge; you doing something that you're afraid of doing. So far, my Dance is looking good, but I'm a little lost on my Acting Scene. I really want to something Shakespeare, because its my obsession lately, but I'm torn between Titania from A Midsummer Night's Dream and Lady Macbeth from Macbeth.
So there's my update for the time being. I'll try to be semi-consistent with them, but I definitely will not be writing one every week. I love you all and thank you so much for following even though I know I failed my first year at writing for you.
Lots of Love!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...
Christmas is so close I can honestly taste it. I really want to go home right now, but there are still three more assessments to go through. It’s been a crazy week, especially after Tuesday, but this week is a lot easier as far as the schedule goes. The weather here is also driving me crazy; I would appreciate winter friendly clothes for Christmas :D I just find it hard to believe that it gets so hot in the summer and so freezing cold in the winter. We’ve had a bit of snow here too, which doesn’t help in my walk to school. I’ll have to take some photos today and I’ll put them up later.
So on Wednesday last week I had a lot of Ear Training related stress. In the morning I had my Music Theory Final, which I think went pretty well. It’s hard to say, but I knew a lot of the information for having not gone to very many classes. Then I had an interview with my Voice and Text teacher just to talk about the semester and how I’d done. She told me that I was doing fine and that I just needed to be less polite in class and to let go a little. I anticipated her comments, because I know that I’ve been rather nice this semester and I hope that my shyness will fade in January. After that interview I had my Oral Ear Training exam, which went alright. I had a little bit of trouble with sight-singing, but it’s super hard... So once I know my marks on that I’ll let you know, just keep your fingers crossed.
Then on Thursday I had a regular History class in the morning, in which we learned all about Canadian theatre and the beginning of the Toronto theatre world. It was interesting and we also found out that we’re doing a Canadian play for scene study next semester. After an hour and a half break we had our Shakespeare presentations. All of them were so amazing! Everyone in my class has come such a long way since the beginning of the year. We did six of Shakespeare’s plays: Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, Taming of the Shrew, A Winter’s Tale, King Lear, and As You Like It. Each group started off with a dumbshow of the play, which is like a silent five minute physical summary of the plot. They were all really funny and cute. Then everyone did their monologue in chronological order. I was in the group that did Twelfth Night and I performed Olivia’s monologue from Act 1: Sc 5. I felt really good while doing it and I hope that I got all of the direction from Scot correct. He was my teacher for the course and he did give me my highest mark.
Friday was easy, after the morning when we had our Ear Training Written. I feel pretty good about it, even though at the time I was definitely stressing out. The melodic dictations felt super hard and I really hope that I did better than I think I did on those ones. After that class we had Computer (of Facebook) skills class, where we all just finished up our websites. Mine wasn’t the best, but I really just needed to get everything done on it and figure out how to use Dream Weaver on the Mac.
One thing that I haven’t really mentioned was my job; I was ushering for the Sheridan Shows for the past two weeks. I watched The Drowsy Chaperone about seven times and Happy End only once. Both of them were amazing and I could hardly believe that they were school productions. I love love love The Drowsy Chaperone, it’s a fantastic play and totally worth seeing. Even after watching it seven times I was not sick of it in the slightest.
Anyways, the next week on Monday we had our first group of MVP (Musical Theatre Vocal Performance) Assessments. I had a rehearsal for my song, If I Were a Bell, and then I performed it a lot later. Again, so many people have improved so much since assessments! Everyone was phenomenal! I would love to go through everyone’s amazing performance individually, but that would take way to long. The next day, after the easiest Vocal Tech quiz ever, the second group went for MVP. They were all amazing too and it was really nice to see the other class to perform for a change. One of my favourites was John and Jake’s duet of Agony from Into the Woods, it was incredible.
I think that that is enough for one post. I’ll tell you about the rest of the week on Saturday and then, Sunday I’m flying home. I might update over Christmas, but don’t count on it. I fully expect to be engulfed with family happiness and Christmas cheer. Have a Happy Hoidays everyone and I’ll see everyone in BC soon!

Baby, It's Cold Outside
Woah… Those weeks flew by. Unless you hadn’t noticed, I’ve been crazy busy with the end of the year coming up, but I made it. Classes are over and Assessment weeks have officially begun. Sorry about the lapse for 3 weeks, but I’ve been running around like a crazy person. It’s strange that my classes are “over”. It feels like I was going 300 mph and now I’ve come down to a measly 40mph. Considering that you guys have missed so much, let me fill you in with the important things that have happened.
I did my second MVP song, which was “Vanilla Ice Cream”. For those of you who don’t know, the song is from a musical called “She Loves Me” which basically has the same plot as that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan movie called “You’ve Got Mail”. It’s really sweet song, which has its funny little moments. While performing it felt a lot more confident in what I was doing. At the end, the teacher and my classmates told me how much I’d improved. We worked on it for a little while, but unfortunately I think that’s the only time I get to perform it, because there’s no time to do a third song until my assessments. I’ve decided that I want to do “If I Were a Bell” from “Guys and Dolls” for my third song and I’m really excited about that.
Another thing that you missed was both of my performances of my acting tech monologue. The first time that I went up I was super super nervous. I didn’t have to be off book, but I still wasn’t sure about how I would do in the performance. Apparently my nerves visible, because my biggest correction was don’t play the victim, which didn’t surprise me. This it the first monologue I’ve done where my character is getting angry. She’s literally telling her sons off and I need to reflect that attitude more. I think that my confidence greatly improved my second time through, although I forgot a few of my words. I’m now losing marks for exhaling while I speak, which is a habit I was unaware of until now.
Now, on to Assessments, the first two days have gone by and I feel like my body is going to fall apart. Yesterday I started with my Dance Tech assessments, which consists of Ballet, Jazz and Tap. I feel like I did a good job on my Ballet; I was very confident the whole time. Jazz was a little more difficult, but I came out smiling and tried my best. Tap was almost a breeze compared to Jazz and all I did was have fun and try to stay relaxed. Later when she asked us our one on one question I did get mine right and I feel like I have learned so much.
Today I started with my vocal tech scales. The first couple were fine, but the last scale is a chromatic one and I think that I landed on a wrong note. But Marie seemed really nice and I think that I did well on the other ones, so I shouldn’t be worried.
After that was our Dance Performance assessment, which was scary but so much fun. We started with our waltz and I didn’t mess up the footing the whole time. In the second round my partner did mess up on the feet a bit, but we kept going and all was forgiven. Then we did our Razzle Dazzle dance, which is a solo Fosse routine and my favourite out of all the dances we learned in the class. I tried to keep everything sharp and the last time that I did it I really felt super confident. Our final dance was our partner Disco routine, which I was unsure of how it went, but I had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I might have put out my hip a little bit, but I don’t have any dance classes for two weeks so I’ll be all right.
That’s the start of my week. As you can see, I don’t have regular classes, so you can expect regular updates. Thanks for your patience and I can’t wait to see you all at Christmas!! Only 12 days to go and only 2 Fridays!!

Nowadays... You can like the life you're livin'
Wow… keeping up this blog is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Sorry about the broken promises, I’m surprised I have any time to update this at all. Well, another week gone by, six Fridays left, but only five weeks left, until Christmas comes. I can’t wait till I can start singing Christmas tunes (don’t tell anyone, but have been humming them under my breath since the end of Halloween). Normally I’m not this excited for Christmas, but I’ve been knitting scarves like crazy trying to get all of my presents done while trying to do school too. Maybe that’s why I have no time to update this blog.
So Monday was a pretty regular day. I got to school and discovered that everyone, and I mean everyone, is getting the flu or something. It is crazy. Even though I am unable to get sick I have even had a bit of a cough all weekend. So that was good news. In Shakespeare, the final group went and finished the first run through of the monologues. I got my homework back and unfortunately, I apparently got a lot of the scansion completely wrong, which doesn’t surprise me too much. I’m going to take it in to the teacher tomorrow and ask him what I can do better, because it’s really hard.
Then came Tuesday; the big day when I was going to sing my MVP song for the third and final time. I had a good morning in Vocal Tech and Rep Lab, but I was thinking about “The Light in the Piazza” for almost the whole time. Finally when I got to rehearse with the pianist, my teacher came in looking rather green. She unfortunately informed us that she was going home after she just puked in the bathroom. We wished her the best and then I had to wait until Friday to sing my song.
Wednesday is so long and because of the time change, it’s dark when I leave the school at night now. So after a nice jazz class in the morning I had one of the longest afternoons ever. In Improv we had a really good conversation about status and how to act high and low status. It was an insightful class and showed a lot of people if they themselves were high or low status. It was really difficult for me to act high status, but it was also kind of enlightening.
Thursday finally came, the day of the history test that everyone had been freaking out about since last weekend. It was only three pages long and I am not too worried about how well I did at all. I know that I studied and I pretty confident with most of my answers so what is there to worry about? After Stagecraft and an exciting Dance Performance class, I finally had MVP. I know that there’s still a lot to work on in the song, but Marie said that I’ve come a long way from when I sang it the first time. The main point was to find my confidence, which I something I found myself working constantly on since I came here. I think that I’ve come a long way, but I know that there’s still a long way to go. And hey! I have three years, right?
Friday is the lame day, as you all know, which is nice, because it’s at the end of the week. After a morning of ballet and those other two classes, I had my first acting tech class that was marked. We are finally doing monologues and I’ve chosen mine from “Death of a Salesman” One of Linda’s monologues. I didn’t go this week, because I’m signed up to go next week. Working with Greg Peterson was very interesting and I found that he left a lot up to you to figure out. He asked a lot about where you’re character came from and what happened in the moment before. I’m very glad that I’ll be prepared to go next week and hopefully I’ll kind of know what I’m doing.
So I’ll try to get on it with these updates. No promises, but if I miss Tuesdays and Fridays then I’ll probably update on Sunday. So I’ll talk to you guys later have a good weekend, and hopefully it will be better than mine, which was spent in bed.

Finishing the Hat
Surprise! I have a pretty big break here at school, so I figured I would just update while I’m waiting to go to my acting tech class. Luckily, there have been a lot of absent teachers this week so there’s less for me to talk about. And I also decided I’d be too busy/tired on Sunday to update anyway.
So Monday was so strange. It was the first day back at school since the break and I fell back into the routine right away. Tap was in the morning, it was odd having those shoes on again, but my muscle memory served me well. Then we started to talk about our assessments in December so we would know what to expect. After that class we had an ear training test, which was very ordinary. I don’t know how well I did, but I guess I’ll find out next week. Then later, in Shakespeare, I finally got up to do my monologue! I chose one of Olivia’s monologues from the first part of twelfth night. Apparently I had a good understanding of the text, which surprised me, and then he just told me to work on my breath support. I am really glad that I finally got up. Surprisingly I think this is my first Shakespeare monologue that I’ve actually worked on.
Then on Tuesday morning I had vocal tech, in which we just worked on Analyzing sheet music. Basically we were given a song (“Love, I Hear” from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum) and we have to go through and circle all of the important musical terms and symbols that would help us sing the song. Forunately, I have done exercises like that before, so I understand what’s going on. Then rep lab was completely normal and the group presenting had Sondheim as their composer. It was so great! They had this funny concept about people being an asylum called the Sondheim Woods asylum and they periodically sang through a handful of great songs. It was very funny and I enjoyed it a lot.
Wednesday morning my jazz teacher was sick, so I got an extra ballet class. Yay! Later, in Improv we did some scatting improve, which I found surprisingly easy and fun. Chelsey and I had a great scatting conversation, which was so awesome. Then I sang “Bubbly” again in Pop, but the teacher seems to want me to sing harder songs, which is understandable. Pop makes me so nervous, because I honestly don’t think I sound good singing it. I might try to singing “Taking Chances” if I can get my confidence up. Voice and Text was the same as always, nothing too odd happened in that class.
I think that Thursday is super easy after the mornings. After a long morning of History and Stagecraft, I went to dance class feeling kind of defeated. I got to class and started to warm myself up, when one of the second years came in and told us the teacher was sick so class was cancelled. Some of the dancers, me included, stayed anyways and had our own short class. It was fun to just dance around and even do a bit of our own choreography. Then we had MVP, which we have been singing the same song for the third time. I signed up to go on Tuesday, so in the next update I’ll tell you how it goes and hopefully I’ll be able to tell you what song I’m singing next.
Other than Ballet, nothing has really happened today yet. I had a lovely Ballet class this morning, in which we also talked about what we were doing in assessments. Now I’m just waiting for my acting class to start. We’re supposed to work on viewpoints today so I’m pretty excited about that. I might write again this weekend, but if not, I’ll write again on Tuesday. Thank you guys for all your support and I’ll try to get back into the swing of writing these twice a week.
It’s the seventh Friday!!

Anything Goes
Hey you guys! Sorry this post was so long in the making. Unfortunately, considering that I’m pressed for time, this won’t be a very long post. First, let me talk about my break. It was absolutely incredible! I didn’t get to see all the people I wanted, but it was still an amazing time. I spent a lot of valuable time with my family and puppy-sitting Lily. I wish that I’d had the time to see everyone. It just made me super anxious for Christmas. In ballet class yesterday we even listened to Christmas music, which, I will admit, was a little annoying. It’s still only November, it’s not even halfway done yet.
On that note, there are only 7 Fridays remaining!! Then I’ll be back for three weeks and I’ll be done my first semester, therefore less stressed out than I am now. These past two days have been absolutely crazy. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened, except that everyone has been getting sick, and each day feels like a month. I fell back into going to school so easily that it’s hard to believe that it’s been four days.
Sorry for the crappy update, but I have to run. I won’t be able to update on Friday night, but I promise that Sunday there will be another post up. Love you all lots and thanks for bearing with me while everything is so crazy.
On that note, there are only 7 Fridays remaining!! Then I’ll be back for three weeks and I’ll be done my first semester, therefore less stressed out than I am now. These past two days have been absolutely crazy. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened, except that everyone has been getting sick, and each day feels like a month. I fell back into going to school so easily that it’s hard to believe that it’s been four days.

Flying Home
Look like this whole writing two times a week thing is harder than I thought. This week has been particularly difficult, because the days have been so long and we’re getting quite a bit of homework that we need to complete. Last week and this week were much like any other. Nothing new really happened. I haven’t gone up for my third time singing The Light in the Piazza, but that will be my last time.
One thing that has really been preoccupying my time is the fact that next Saturday I’ll be jumping on a plane and flying home for a week. I’ll probably only do one blog entry that week, because I’ll be busy spending the rest of the week with my family. I’m really excited to be coming back!!! I can’t wait to see the ocean again, it will be legendary! Unfortunately it will only be for six days, so I won’t be able to see everyone that I want to see. However, I’ll be back next summer so if you miss me next week, I’ll have to see you then. There’s also Christmas break, but I’ll be spending that break with my family for the most part.
Anyways, I will write another entry on Friday to sum up what happened this whole week. Nothing crazy has happened yet, so I don’t think it will be long. Then I won’t write again till next week. Sorry for the delay in entries again.
