What's Your Motivation
So I just finished a summer acting class that I had originally enrolled in because I needed the credits. Like the other classes that I took because I had too, I entered this one with the requisite grumbling. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
- Being able to express my emotions freely is not an attribute I often indulge in. Here was a chance to wail, whine or cry without judgment, and in fact WITH applause.
- People in these classes, (but for a few) are outgoing and affable. My classmates were delightfully witty and pleasantly critical.
- Half of the class is spent playing ridiculous games. One of them involved standing in front of someone else saying the same word over and over...."Maybe" "Maybe" Maybe" "Maybe" Maybe" "Maybe" Maybe" "Maybe" ....I know it sounds weird, but you would never believe the subtext that emerges after 5 minutes of saying the same word back and forth.
- I'm really good at acting. I mean, better than I thought....I definitely want to keep doing it.
Who knew college could be fun?
