And you know, as much as I like studying the craft of acting, I hate it when me and the guys are trying to perform our lines and the teacher stops us every 10 seconds before we can actually get the pace going. We're like "Let us perform the scene first, damn it! Criticize us AFTER we're done saying our lines!"

Believe it or not, I have the same problem. But it may also be because our drama teacher is a moron.

Ah, moron high school drama teacher problems? Been there.

But my craft has me stressing at the moment too. My grades seem to be slipping and jury is coming up. I'm coming to the end of my sophomore year, and we have to jury (perform) in front of the entire performance faculty and be evaluated to see if we're allowed into the BFA Acting Studio for next year. If it gives you any perspective, our Sophomore Studio class has 22 students (including myself) in it. The BFA Studio (composed of juniors and seniors) has exactly half that number: 11. I'm not sure how many they'll be accepting next year, but I'm really freaking out about it.
