Teacher’s comments:

Nice start.

Very playful nice & clear.

Great focus in face before you fell to the floor.

Good agility in your body.

Nice full movements when searching.

Love the sound with fist.

Great good clear ending.

Very strong first piece.

98/100

*screams* KYAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YATTA YATTA YATTA!!!!!!!!! I thought mine was sooo much worse than the othersssss *squeeee* ureshii ureshii ureshii~~ XDD

[EDIT: I just remembered we were supposed to keep the performances anonymous. I don't think this violates the rule but just in case. *STARTS CENSORING NAMES*]

[CENSORED]’s piece was awesome (I like the way he aligned himself, the lying down on his back bit with his face towards the audience was so good, the angle he chose managed to convey the feeling he wanted to convey perfectly, choice of song fitted perfectly with his movement, absolutely STUNNING piece), as was [CENSORED]’s (beautiful, graceful movements, great emotion in face and expression, amazing emotional impact), and [CENSORED]’s (I loved the flailing around in circles and tumbling on the floor bit - that was a masterpiece of movement). [CENSORED]’s was funny and touching at the same time. I felt for him so bad. About three of the girls, I think, were AMAZING dancers. more than that, I think. Four or five of them. And all the others were GREAT. Absolutely amazing.

Ahahaha a lot of people used the same struggling on the ground and falling movements that I did. Damn. I knew I wasn’t being original but practically every other person had the same type of movement that I used. Urgh. I think I did better during rehearsal. BUT STILL. 98 POINTS. MY HARD WORK PAID OFF. GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I think lots of people got higher than that, though. Ah well. Doesn’t matter. I’ll continue to work hard and get an A in this course! WHEE! I just realized that if I get 6 Bs and 2 As this semester I’ll have a GPA of 3.25 which I need to maintain my scholarship…… that goal doesn’t seem so unattainable now……

Movement Class - 2nd Assignment

Good clear start.

Did you intend for it to be comic? -> It came off that way because there was a staccatoness to the movements.

What would have happened if you would have acknowledged the passer by? (Apparently someone passed by my partner. I didn’t notice. At all. OTL)

Amazing use of space & movement - love the section on the landing - great audience perspective by looking down.

Bravo - Excellent ending.

Great job - can see you rehearsed A LOT.

98/100

WHEEEEEEEEEEE. XD I liked that it came off as comic. And that people were laughing. Even though we didn’t plan for it to be comic. AHAHAHA. XD I didn’t really think about that when we were rehearsing. But it was awesome, I mean, that people were laughing. AWESOME SHIT. XD And hell yeah I rehearsed a lot. On my own. Because of scheduling difficulties. But my partner didn’t need to rehearse anyway she improvised all that shit on her own man. I can’t do that. I need to prepare, I need extensive rehearsing. So I did. LOL. IT WAS WORTH IT. TOTALLY WORTH IT. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. XDD *is happy*

My First Year Seminar

Ahhhhhhhhh~~~ 好开心哦哦哦哦哦~~~

First Year Seminar SciFi Film and Lit is turning out to be the most amazing class everrrr. I think I’m looking forward to it even more than my musical theatre classes, sometimes. Ahahahahaha KYAAA KYAAA KYAAAA~~~

The professor’s this old Danish woman called Vibieke Petersen, but she asks us to call her Vibs. Anyway Vibs is AWESOME. She’s really funny, very liberal, highly intelligent and perceptive, duh, of course, she’s a professor but oh gods damn it it is SO good to be able to hold a decent intellectual conversation with someone for once, I mean, she’s a rich source of knowledge and insight and I’ve learnt sooooo soooooooo much stuff from her. Hurr~~ I love her. Yes. Anyway she praised me last class, it was like:

Vibs: So where are you from?

Me: Malaysia.

Vibs: Oh~ I thought you went to high school here…

Me: No, I didn’t. XD I went to high school in my own country.

Vibs: Well they have given you an excellent education. *wink*

Oh, and before that~ we talked a little bit and she explained about why she didn’t let me talk so much in class, ahahah, she’s done that so many times already I think she knows that I was just a little hurt when she shut me up that first time I was a bit… err… overenthusiastic about expressing my opinions. Haha~ and then she told me, she told me she was really happy I was in her class! And I was like OMG OMG OMG, like, awwww that’s so sweet and anyway - self-esteem increase 1000%!! I think if it was manga I would have melted into a mass of squiggly limbs and goo. XD And then… I told her I was really happy that she was my teacher too. And she was like good then everyone’s happy and I was like YEY~ XD

Oh and I’ve been getting high marks for my response papers in this class, like, nothing below 90, and then last time on the environmental issues one I got 100% ^///^ and the latest one about apocalypse I got 98% because my response was too long and I used a small font and maybe because I didn’t cite any sources. >.<>.<>

I love praise like crazy. I - simply - LOVE it. I’m fucking arrogant that way. And I despise that. And I don’t want to be arrogant. I hate myself for being like this. And this freaking fear of being arrogant is interfering with my enjoying the praise and just accepting it and going on like normal. Praise interferes with my thought processes tremendously. Hurr. I take on paper praise much better than face to face because - yeah - if it’s face to face, mind goes blank, don’t know how to respond, blah blah blah, but recently I’ve decided to just say ‘Thank you’ when someone goes ‘OH YOU”RE SKINNY’ and all that shit but if it’s on paper I can handle it because I don’t have to respond to the person praising me. Hahaha~
