I have so much going on in my mind right now. I think sometimes the fact that I think too much really interferes with my ability to act. I am currently in a phase where I am experimenting with letting my "head" go. Its kinda hard to explain for those who are not really into acting. But who said acting was easy anyways? It's very fun indeed.. but can also be very frustrating for those who are just beginning the craft. I always enjoy when teachers or even students give me NEGATIVE feedback to work off of... cause it is those comments that make me grow as an actress. TELL ME THAT SUCKED, DON'T HOLD BACK....... IT WILL FUEL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, its better than being told something was "great" and then having to watch it back on a screen and realizing what a fool you've made out of yourself. That's kinda how I felt about the last film I shot... not that I was a complete fool... but I had overdone some parts... and wish someone on set had told me to tone it down.
On the up side,... on Sunday I had a performance at Columbia University... and I had tons of fun doing it. It was a performance for a Masters Directing Class. The professor in charge of the class is amazing, every adjustment he made to the scenes I had watched filled a "void" in the scenes and made it THAT much better. The adjustment he made to my character in the scene made it so much more powerful. I also met a lot of of cool people.. it's crazy how everyone who is in NY has a story to tell. I also enjoyed working with my co-star, and ofcourse my very kind-hearted and awesome Director! I'm looking forward to going back to Columbia and collaborating with the talent over there.
Besides the whole acting thing, my brother has been quite sick for the past 5 days... never seen him like this. He has a complete loss of appetite, due to his inability to swallow food. Thankfully though, he is getting better by the day with the help of antibiotics! Also, i thank his wellness for my Ginger tea and honey remedies hahahahahaha Poor guy never drank tea in his life.. and this time he had about 4 mugs!! On Day 4 after I had made him some tea he said, "I will not drink it, I don't care if it's just sitting on the table... I told you I'm not gonna drink it." LOL
My parents are heading back from Spain right now, they are in London Heathrow airport. They seemed to have had a blast, seeing as they sent us photos every step of the way, and kept in touch via BBM and phone on a daily basis. I am super excited to see them in about 2 weeks from now.. that is really the only reason I go to Kuwait besides seeing my best/friend brother Omar, and ofcourse some of my dear friends back there. I think my trip to Kuwait will be a good time for me to begin brainstorming some ideas for a web-series that I want to launch that will include all of my classmates. It is also a good time for me to work on my Monologue, that I will be presenting to NYFA on January 19. I will also be doing a lot of reading and movie-watching during that break.. so I think Kuwait is a good place to do all that since I wont have much distraction!
It's time for me to get productive! I have a lot of writing to catch up on.... DEAR BRAIN FART: PLEASE GO AWAY!!!!!!!!! Also, DEAR RAIN GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved your rambling! It is almost like a "stream of consciousness" and it is appealing. Your personality is evident - therefore, we call this your "voice" and what better way to express this but in a blog? Keep up the good effort in your acting, writing, and reading! I am quite proud of you. Love, Pam
hahah thank you Pam!! The writing is not the best because I just let it flow. I guess that is the whole purpose of a blog though, right?
