All good things

Two posts today! I tried to fit it all into one, but it was a mess, ergo, a second post.

The happiness is back! Ok, it was never actually gone, but I've spent last week in a thoughtful/sore throat mood (whatever the latter is). A few things I'm happy about:

I'm happy about the outcome of the free Alexander technique class, which I had yesterday. I had an unexpected source of joy in the teacher's praise. She actually thought I had some previous training, due to how easily I could follow her instructions. When we finished, she said it had been a pleasure working with me. So it just seems that all my efforts to have a better posture and relax my shoulders are finally paying off! I had had a chance to prove it when my dance teacher, who hadn't seem me in 2 years, told me I looked taller. I knew it simply wasn't possible, but she insisted till I figured it might be the postural reeducation. She stated that it totally showed and went "You look great!" This is a HUGE achievment for me, because I had previously tried real hard to get rid of the tension, to little or no results. So at last!

I'm happy to see what a long way I've come. When I started drama school I was so shy, that it is quite something that I managed to graduate. I was reminded of this yesterday, when by chance I met a girl from high school. I still have a very long way to go, but so far it's been an amazing journey.

I'm happy acting just keeps on getting easier for me. It just seems to flow naturally. It hasn't always been this way. I'm happy to have a technique I can trust.

I'm happy to be going to New York. Especially since, now that my technique is stronger, I feel I'll really profit from those workshops.

I'm happy I have auditions for two shorts. One of them I learnt about today, and the audition is... tomorrow! I've just read the script, it's got a few dramatic moments, so I'll get down to business and prepare in less than a day. I can connect to the material so I think I have a good chance.

I'm happy to have so much to blog about.

I could probably keep on finding reasons for being happy, and I'm certain I'm forgetting a few. But this post can't last forever. Anyhow, I'm feeling optimistic so I know there are more good things on the way. And consequently, more posts!
