stress, stress, stress

Wow, for some reason it didn’t really hit me how much preparation I need to do for the play, “My name is Rachel corrie” and it is really frustrating because in addition to my acting work, I also have to do regular college applications and all my normal school work. It really is rather frustrating, but what can I do? I will just have to make the time to try and get everything done. And I def not be missing anymore school. I am going to have to suck it up and just get to work. I just spent the last hour re-reading the “My name is Rachel corrie” script to fine-tune some of the cuts I had made earlier and to make new some new ones. I still have a lot to memorize but I still have time. Next I am going to be spending the next few hours working on over-memorizing my acting skit because I read online that by over-memorizing something the actor can focus on how much energy and emphasize they place on certain words and on certain scenes. And plus I still need to do some more research to make sure I understand exactly where Rachel Corrie is coming from. But I just need to balance and manage my time and my life. And I am trying to keep positive and keep things in perceptive.
Speaking of looking on the bright side, I think I may have found some music that fit my character Rachel corrie. But I have to really listen to the whole CD to make sure that I am right. I’ll think I’ll do that now before I start working on my coffee house skit.
