Auld Lang Syne

Today was the moment of truth that Austin, Anika and I have been working up to.

Everyone presented their One-Act plays that they have been working on over the past three or so weeks. My particular one is called Auld Lang Syne Or, I'll Bet You Think This Play Is About You by Beverly Creasey. I played a "fashionable woman" named Anna and Austin played a "well-dressed man" named Charles.

Anyway, I'll cut to the chase.

The point is, I didn't do so well. I say that because I missed more than half my script. However, I believe that I did the best that I could given my circumstances. The run through that I did yesterday in front of the class was when I feel like I really nailed my character. There was a point in the play where I was screaming at Austin, and I got so into the scene that I nearly cried. I was shaken up after the scene ended.

I screwed up today and I'm a bit upset about it, but it wasn't devastating.
I should've reviewed my lines more and memorized them better.

Although today was sort of a mess up, I don't think it will discourage me from acting in the future. It's enjoyable, I must say. I remember coming into STAC my freshman year and being absolutely terrified of acting and standing up in front of people. I no longer feel as self-conscious and afraid about doing poorly in front of people. Of course it might feel embarrassing and crappy if I stumble, but it's not as catastrophic as it was before.
