Fall Semester 2006

Here are the classes I'm taking this semester:

1. TMA 150 (Public Speaking) 3 credits- Yea, you have to speak in front of everybody! And my whole class is dominated by whites and 3/4 males! I just given a speech about myself and things I'm grateful for and I thought I did pretty well... My next speech is going to be story telling..duh?!!! What story? 3 Little Pigs ah?

2. TMA 395 (Dramatic Literature 1) 3 credits - Yes..theories, literary, plays, papers, argument, analysis... you can tell it's a hard class and lots of work; sometimes I don't really understand the chim theories, but then I still enjoy this class because I learned a lot!

3. TMA 460 (Portfolio) 2 credits- Making a portfolio of all the designs, drawings, and stage management projects I've done. I got to give a final presentation to the big shots at the end of the semester and I'm so worried that my stuff is not enough...

4. TMA 461R (Stage Mgmt 2) 3 credits- I'm currently working on the BYU production "The Little Foxes" written by Lillian Hellman, which is going to be up at the Margetts Theatre, HFAC on Nov 1-18, 7:30pm

5. TMA 369R (Design and Technology Project) 3 credits - this class goes along with TMA 461R so my whole stage mgmt project is a total of 6 credits. I have to run rehearsals every Tues to Fri night and Sat morning to afternoon. It's a lot of work and responsibility, but it's challenging because I enjoy organizing and planning events. Besides this, I have to attend 3 different meetings a week. All the big shot people know me by now, haha! I'm working with a fun director and a group of awesome actors and actresses so this show is going to be cool! Come and watch!!!!

I'm taking a total of 14 credits and it's way enough for me since I'm packed for almost every night! I'm pretty stress sometimes, but you know what? Theatre production is like a train and we can't stop it and so I just have to keep moving on...it will end eventually. But for next semester, I'll take more fun classes like modern dance, bowling, flexibility, or ballroom dance!!!!
