GUESS WHOSE GRADES ARE ON FIREEEE ?!?!?!

Hello There !

Soooo I'm sure you all can tell I don't have time for ANYTHING EVER IN LIFE...which is why I haven't been posting AT ALL.  I want to correct myself and say that I am taking EIGHT CLASSES, not nine.  I would have taken nine, but that didn't work out.  I listed those classes in the last post.

The most important part of this post, however, are my grades.  In my VPS class, my teacher so KINDLY informed us that, "Here at AMDA you start at an 'F' and work your way to an 'A'...otherwise why are you here?"  I am in no way proud, but I am confident, so that did not scare me.  I work hard, pay attention, ask questions, and handle my business so I knew that even with that policy I could be at no less than a 'C+' in any given class.

These past two weeks were midterms and we had conferences with most of our teachers to get our grades and my results are as follows (enjoy) :

Acting Foundations: B...and Mr. Mesnik has said that he does NOT give 'A's at the midterm point.


Acting for Camera 1: A...that's right!


Improv 1 Foundations: B+...and he also informed me that he could see me having an 'A' by the end of the term!


Stage Combat: A-...I have an 'A' in deportment for this class!


I do not currently know the rest of my grades because my teachers have not told me but I should have no lower than a 'C+' or 'B-'....a 'C+' would actually shock me.


AREN'T YOU PROUD OF ME?!?!?! :) xD


I'm proud of myself!  I spend most of my time studying and sleeping.  I'm not much of a partier, though the opportunities ABOUND.  My roommate Ashlie is amazing so you need not worry about my living conditions.  She's clean, polite, and caring...and amazing!

I'm just having a great time!

It's SO true that you need to know your boundaries before you come to college and I am exploring that fact.  I know mine and I know some who don't know theirs.  Even when I'm not sure why I have certain boundaries, I still maintain them and I typically end up realizing why, later.  I often think to myself, "If I would have...then right now I'd be..."  There are friends of mine who are currently living in regret and I was actually able to be with a friend as they decided to define their boundaries.  It inspired me to keep with mine, and I hope it inspires you in some way.

With All Love and Joy,
