so, the first day of school was scary. didn’t know what to expect, apart from lots of new people. turns out it was the first day for a lot of sections of the school. so, there were about 100 people signing up, in all the departments, and about 50 of them were the acting lot. although, there were different sections – the one year, the 12 week, the 8 week, the 4 week programs. we got folders, cards, sheets, t-shirts a plenty.

so, the first day was quite intense to begin with, and the second day was even more intense. we’ve already started filming and critiquing our work. we’ve already been set three assignments and have to work with partners. good thing one of my classmates lives two stops from me. we have 13 people in the class and it’s crazy already. everyone was a little afraid to open up on the first day, but by the second day people had already figured out that nothing will be left unturned. this course will open us to the point of no return.

second day killed me though. our first class was ‘acting techniques’ and the teacher made us do squats! more than a day later and my legs are still killing me! this class is one to watch out for… it’ll stretch us quite a lot mentally and physically, i reckon.

i spoke to some dude on the course who is 2 months in, and he says he’s still loving it. he also said we’re gonna be crying, laughing, joking around in class. so i guess i’m looking forward to that mix of emotions

went out last the last two nights on the trot also. last night was pretty crazy though. it was a drinks up for the school – where people could go and mingle and meet from the academy. it was so lame that we only stayed for one drink and dane, myself and liz went to go find food and then hit some bars in soho/east village. went to one cool bar (bit of a metal/goth bar) and stayed there for a few. big ben and his housemate mark also met up with us and we basically stayed out until about 5am. friday night was indeed all right.

got a labour (day) weekend party tonight at jake’s, so everyone will be turning up there for some more merriment.
