It's been awhile.

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I have been feeling so bogged down with midterms and papers and such, and it doesn't look like there's any end in sight! Even so, I've been coming to class, even on days when I really am dreading it. I always feel so much better about lfe by the end of class, a little decompressed from the stress of my other classes.

I really enjoyed class last Wednesday. We acted out a scene when Ravana finally gets fed up with Sita and threatens to kill her. I volunteered to be one of the wives in Ravana's harem who vie for his attention. I was nervous at first, and we were all kind of timid in the first go around for the scene, but as we continued talking about it and trying again, the scene got better and better and I became more comfortable with the part I was playing. Volunteering for a part like that was a big step for me! I rarely speak up in class, let alone volunteer to perform. I can see how this class is helping me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things!
