You know what's a nice feeling? when you see your lecturer or tutor for the first time and they're so lovely. I don't know why I would expect a very arrogant or strict person to be monitoring the class but if they smile or crack a joke, then that's when you know you have little to worry about.

I had this tutor last year first sem and she was like monotone. She cracked no jokes, no smile. Was all serious about coming to tutes, doing your readings. You are a professional university student serious about your studies, you do not come here for free education- kind of person lol And I was like well shit. LOL I didn't do all the readings and I barely spoke in that class. Thank god I passed and thank god I had a friend there too. I haven't seen here since. Hope she's well.

But anyway when you see a happy, easy going, relaxed tutor or lecturer then it makes things A WHOLE LOT BETTER LOL. So now I don't know why I'm complaining about uni so much. I got work done today which is like the first relief of many relief's I will have throughout the semester. No final exams :O And I'm so thankful that all my assessments are spread out and not cramped with like 2 essays due in one week or 2 group presentations in another. I got this, I got this.

Anyways on a happy note, NIDA preparations are well under way. I've fully memorized my contemporary and Shakespeare plays. Now I'm just saying it everywhere; before I sleep, to work, at work, to uni, at work, in the toilet, in the bathroom. LOL memorizing it til it becomes full absorbed into my head like lyrics of a song. My choice of monologue, however, I've only recently found because a friend gave me some undiscovered and almost discarded monologue books which she found in her room. This monologue is studied but not fully memorized.

I opted for a dramatic monologue because I'm not good at comedy. I tried to find one that was like an angsty, emo kind of depressed teen who had been through some sort of loss or tragedy so I can transform my vocals into screaming cries. The monologue I chose was about a teenage who lost her ex-boyfriend and has found another boyfriend. It's pretty lengthy for a 1-2 minute piece. I might have to shorten it to fit the criteria.

Also, weirdly, I've been enjoying Taylor Swift videos. I hope I'm not growing an obsession over her :O She's sweet, philanthropic and charitable in like all her videos. The only time she's self-centred is in her songs LOL but she writes good songs. And she's just.. so damn sweet. She's probably America's sweetheart hey.

This is what made me like her more.
