Schools in Session



Yesterday was my first day back in an actual class room and I was so lost. My first class is modern dance. Luckily I wasn't alone and I had one of my close friends, Tiffany, right along with me. We had to fill out a little information form about our dance experience and why we are taking the class. Besides the fact that I need the class for my major, I really want to improve my dance technique. My professor was very out going which was surprising considering it was 9:20 in the morning, which is a bit to early for my liking. We sat down on the cold, bare and dirty dance room floor while the professor went through the all of the information papers one by one. Tiffany and I looked at each other. As the dance class progressed we had so much fun. We danced and I began to sweat and become loose.
My second class was my vocal lessons. It felt great to sing again and to be learning how to sing correctly. Although he spoke a lot, it was pretty fun. All of his criticism were helpful ones and something I could learn from. Although I have homework from the lesson, the only way I will become better is if I work on these things to better myself as a singer. After that I had first year writing. It was the same as usual. My professor for that class is very awkward. Its not her fault, I guess thats just the way she is. Our syllabus was the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. Not because of her, but because of our end of the year assignment, the freshman essay. It should be called, the most pointless piece of writing of my life. What really through me for a loop was the fact that we received a very elementary grammar worksheet. Really a work sheet? Wow and I thought I was a college student.My final class was piano, boy was that a mistake. For starters I have not played the piano in 8 weeks. I forgot so many things about finger placement and how to play. It was pretty pathetic for the professor to see her last semester students struggling  with material that should be a review for us. She was not very pleased. I made a vow to myself that I would work on my voice and piano playing in the practice rooms.
I guess the message from todays blog is the only way to become great at what you do is to practice. Thanks for READING!
