Thank you so much for your kind words and appreciation. I know that many of you hated all things "sun salutation" but grew to love my aerobic warm-ups and crazy vocal exercises. I also know that many of you are more confident and comfortable speaking in public now. Others of you have a better understanding of what an actor does. I bow my head humbly at the commendation of my "guidance, critiques, and a very positive attitude."
I truly didn't know that I make such a difference. Honestly and simply. Now, since I'm in the process of calculating your grades, I certainly hope these final journal assignments are truthful and not just a final game of "Suck Up." So while I've got your attention and the love is flowing, let me remind you of a few things.
Life is hard, classes are hard. There is a reason assignments have a due date and you must be present and on-time to class. Are you late for work? Probably not. Is money or the risk of being fired more important than learning or grades -- or respect for the ensemble comprised of your classmates?
You must READ THE DIRECTIONS! If you are in a chemistry class, one wrong ingredient into the test tube may cause not only you but also your lab partner to LOSE AN EYE! A critique on Noises Off is NOT enough. You needed to observe ONE character fully, do your take-home quiz on the play from which YOUR final scene is taken and actually look in the Lab Book to see how to properly start scene analysis.
Lastly, you must fully understand your power of communicating -- through words or your actions or your lack of action. Read your papers out loud, write your argument and SUPPORT it and lastly, do a freakin' spell check before turning in all papers. Don't waste or squander that power communication -- ever.
Peace out.
