Day 18: FINALLY FINISHED MY PSA

I just finished my PSA like two minutes ago and I’m ready to go to bed. Tomorrow’s the last day, though, and I’m pretty sad about leaving, but I also really want to poop in my own house, you know? (Public restrooms are not my thing.)

Today was a Thursday, so we had Acting and Communications. 

In acting, we did our usual exercises and performed both improv and open scenes. Usually, I don’t trust myself to do anything on the spot, but I can definitively say that I was not the worst in the class, which is a step up from every other time I’ve tried to do improv.

Today was demonstration speech day in Communications. I demonstrated the basic functions of Twitter. Even though I had carefully planned out my speech and it was going to be perfect, I had never actually thought about using Twitter on the computer being different from on my phone. As it turns out, though, they are very different and my speech was derailed quickly. It really wasn’t too bad, though. 

Tomorrow is the final showcase!! I’m terrified of playing the bell in front of everyone, but I think the bar pretty low in terms of talent, so no one’s expecting anything spectacular. 

Oh, also, we had our last day of electives and I was really bummed to leave Tell Your Story. I think next year, it should be a core class (@ Gear Up people lurking on my blog: please do this for me). Everyone had a lot of fun and we got to know each other really well. Everything we did was exciting and new to me. It was by far my favorite class of the entire academy (except for maybe music). 

Since this is my last blog post, I just want to say goodbye. This was an amazing experience. I’ll see you next year.
