On the first day of my "Asian Performance" class, our class was instructed to write what our expectations of the class were, why we took it, and anything else that was on our mind. That, apparently, was the first post of a blog we would have to create for our class.
This blog is for that class and will serve as my "thought dump" where I will put whatever I want that I don't mind sharing with other people.
The following is what I wrote on my first day:
"I'm excited to start this class I came in because I need to fulfill GER 6, but the passion and commitment to the style of dance and storytelling that the professor has makes me want to learn right away! I want to be a very good student and do well; I only hope that my nervousness and self-consciousness does not hinder my willingness to throw myself into the Indian/Indonesian dance. I hope I will be graceful. I hope, also, that the other students try hard, not go through the motions or treat this class as a joke.
"I will stay in this class because I want to learn something beautiful about another culture; an old, ancient and rich culture. If I must spend time on GER 6, then I want to get the most that I can out of it. I know I will do that here more than being in '2-D Fundamentals' or 'Theater 101' or 'Creative Writing.'"
